Although off the beaten track from the large national galleries, 198 is no less an important part of London’s artistic heritage. Developed during the social unrest in the Brixton area in the 1980s, 198 has grown from a community arts space into an exciting contemporary visual arts body that is often the first place to see the next rising star of the London art scene.
Charley Peters is an artist based in London. She produces systematic drawings on paper and in physical spaces in which visual order is deconstructed through mechanical, manual or architectural interference. She has a PhD in Fine Art and exhibits her work internationally. As Co-Director of TBC Artists’ Collective, Charley works with artists and writers engaged in research-led projects that explore drawing as a performative, documentary or interventionist medium.
