Zaine at the Ebury Gallery with a piece called “Every Step We Take”.

On Monday, September 6th 1982, Zaine held his first art exhibition at the Ebury Gallery in London. The theme for the exhibition surrounded the “Figures” LP album, which was released a week later. Zaine presented 50 pictures in charcoal, pencil and oils, which he described as ‘visions’ of his music. Some of the pictures are statements of the songs titles, the majority however are fragments of lines from the compositions.

All proceeds from the sale of the pictures were donated by Zaine to “The Nordorff - Robbins Music Therapy” charity.

 Another artist, Mark Wardel also provided a further 5 pictures of his own for the exhibition. The 5 pieces were his own interpretations of songs from the album .
