Transforming the bar area of the womens edition of Margin into an artists studio, Sarah Gregory converts erotic imagery into fine art with traditional paint applications.
Sarah Gregory’s most recent exhibition of drawings and paintings was entitled ‘The Twenty Five Loves Of Silas Holmes’ at the Space Gallery in Pimlico.
Three of the works were reproduced in the book ‘Where Is Silas?’. Like the larger than life oils presented here, the ‘Silas’ series was of nudes and semi-nudes taken from the pages of Playboy and Penthouse published in the 60’s and 70’s. Quite explicit, the paintings transform the images into something closer to portraiture.
In the last few years Sarah has been painting private commissions as well as record sleeves for S Express, Derrick May, Nico. She collaborated with Goldie on work for an exhibition at the Blue Note gallery where she subsequently had her own show.
Graphic Designer Lucy Cullingford displayed a range of canvases in the entrance of the womens edition of Margin.
As well as her graphic and art work, Lucy has also found time to establish a range of printed womens clothing called Ruby Foo which she exhibited for the first time at Margin.
Danielle Roberts installed her printed perspex chairs, footstools, plaques and clothes-hangers in the Magazine reading area at the womens edition of Margin.
Practical items that can be customised to suit their surroundings, the perspex clothes-hangers can be printed to match particular retail environments and store- or label- branding.
Following on from the Margin August 2003 T-shirt design by Remi/Rough, Margin invited Boston-based graphic supremos Tank Theory to remix the Margin logo into an orignal graphic.
We were so pleased with their handywork, we not only printed the t-shirts with the image but also slapped it on the show-guide and Margin/Ubiquity collaboration CD.
The limited-edition t-shirts were supplied and printed by Murina, an American-made t-shirt company with distribution in the UK.
Tank Theory exhibited their range at Margin in Aug 2003 and Feb 2004.
Ubiquity Records from California made their UK debut at Margin with their range of music-influenced Mens- and womens-wear.
Ubiquity Records from California made their UK debut at Margin with their range of music-influenced Mens- and womens-wear.They also sponsored the music for both the Mens and womens editions and provided the soundtrack to both shows.

As well as exhibiting their new clothing line at Margin, They Made Me Do It were invited to install a selection of their artists work at the Mens show.
They Made Me Do It is a collective made up of 12 of the best artists emerging from the UK Graffiti scene, including the considerable talents of: ASTEK / BLEACH / BUSK / CHU / DANE / INSA / KOREY / SHUCKS / SNUG / SOLO ONE / TIZER / WISH1.
For the February 2004 edition of the mens show, Margin invited British clothing label Subsurface to work their graphic and illustrative magic in the bar area.
The result was an all-encompassing and engrossing sextych representing their artwork which also spelled out the word “MARGIN”.
Canvas Opinion is a new range of limited edition pop-art designs on canvas. Canvas Opinion subverts popular images and icons with visual puns and wordplay on 12 inch canvases. Each artwork is a silk screen print on canvas, stretched round a 12″ wooden frame. The silk screen process gives the images depth and distinguishes them from digital inkjet prints. The canvas has a textured, tactile feel, setting it apart from framed prints.
By combining the feel of 1960s pop-art with the slogan t-shirts of the 1980s, Canvas Opinion has created an accessible way to purchase art as each piece comes in at under £50.
