Supporting Local Artists at Flint Hairdressers in Norwich
Hairdressing is more than a craft - it’s a creative force at the forefront of fashion, art, and culture. Our passion for hair is matched by our love for art, books, photography, and music, which we are proud to share with our clients.
For over a decade, we’ve hosted art exhibitions, book signings, readings, and even short film screenings in our salon, supporting both national and local talent. Our walls are a constantly evolving gallery, making Flint an inspiring and ever-changing space to visit.
We love sparking conversation and connection, creating not just beautiful hair, but a creative community where clients and stylists can feel energised, engaged, and part of something exciting. If chatting isn't your thing, that's absolutely OK too. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience while your stylist tends to your locks.
Our Next Art Exhibition Will Be Announced Soon!
Previous Events & Exhibitions
Adjusting The Volume
by Jen Lengeskov
October 3 - November 18 2024
We were delighted to welcome multi-disciplinary artist Jen Langeskov into our salon in October 2024, where she showcased her latest artwork. Through an ethnographic research approach, Jen responds to the conversations, stories, and exchanges she encounters, reflecting on how they shape her own existence.
In the Adjusting The Volume series, Jen focuses on three materials— latex, gold leaf, and Hammerite —chosen for their contrasting qualities. By intuitively adding and subtracting abstract marks and forms, Jen seeks to reveal new possibilities, confronting overwhelming elements to bring clarity to chaos. Her work is an ongoing dialogue between herself and these materials—at times a struggle, at times a harmonious collaboration, always in a necessary state of flux.
Jen studied BA (Hons) Fine Art at Camberwell College of Arts, and 20 years later completed an MA in Fine Art at NUA. Alongside her work as a painter and sculptor, Jen is an Artist Educator. She collaborates with children and young people across East Anglia, delivering projects that support creative and critical thinking skills, with a focus on underrepresented and neurodiverse groups.
Glastonbury Book Launch
Book by Liam Bailey
July 2024
Glastonbury is the striking distillation of over 30 years’ unprecedented photographic access to the world’s largest green-field music and performing arts festival. In over 120 memorable images, Liam Bailey invites us to share his experiences of being among its diverse tribes.
Although Glastonbury has evolved into a sprawling fixture of the British summer calendar, this famously vibrant event is still powered by the belief in alternative communal culture. It is this special energy that has kept Bailey returning every year since 1992. Above all, this ‘access all areas’ visual diary makes a case for the positive human potential of over 200,000 people being able to get together in the open air – to enjoy music, performance and each other.
Bailey’s work has been exhibited in the UK and abroad, and appeared in magazines and newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller.
Empty Inside
By Autops and Muretz
May 25 - June 17 2023
Autops and Muretz both hail from Sao Paulo, Brazil and were originally brought together through a mutual love of graffiti. They quickly discovered that the natural flow of their encounters and sketching sessions, ideas and drawings came out in an unpretentious way, almost as if their characters were already alive and asking to be brought out of their minds into this world.
‘Empty Inside’ is presented as an analysis of the very nature of human behaviour. Autops black and white paintings illustrate scenarios that depict the internal world of our own psyche, analysing the ability to self relate and internalise thoughts. In contrast, Muretz’ work presents an internal emptiness and how this manifests on the world around the subject. He explores not only how humans interact with their space, but are also sometimes a reflection of the environment they exist within too.
These prevailing dialogues are explored not only by the outlined thematic concept, but also as a wider aesthetic statement too, through the mutual progression of their complementary styles. Since those first paintings on the street together, to this summative collaborative exhibition, five years of drawing sessions have passed by and developed this pair as a creative powerhouse casting a lens of introspection back onto us all.
