Ferdinand Koci
International Roma Artist Exhibition in Leeds
International Roma Artist, Ferdinand Koci, welcomed everyone to the preview of his exhibition at The Flux Gallery on Saturday evening 6th June.
It was a great night with a live Jazz Band and lots of people enjoying seeing Ferdinand's work.
The exhibition continues until 28th June.
Dan and Julie, the Gallery owners, have hung the painting, prints and sculptures making best use of the space and managed to accommodate over 40 pieces, many of which have never exhibited before.
