Nov 2011 | The Fall Of The Majestic Elk - 2 person show
Wolverhampton Art Gallery will be the first venue to host “The Fall Of The Majestic Elk", a collaborative project between myself and painter Dean Melbourne. A seductive narrative of imagined characters, objects and places depicted through paint, objects and installation.
A shared fascination of beauty, drama and emotion is at the core of the story. The story is new but has echoes of great adventure novels and epic poetry. Look closely and you will find the vivid orchids and swarthy tree trunks of The Lost World, or sense the murmuring waters of Paradise Lost. 19 Nov - 17 Dec 2011 Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Lichfield Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1DU PICTURES & VIDEOS FROM THE SHOW |

2010 | Here Today
Exhibiting at The Outside World Gallery , Redchurch Street, London in a group show entitled Here Today.
Dec 3rd - Dec 8th. PV Thursday Dec 2nd 6-9pm. . Here Today’s artists are taking glimpses, ideas, fantasies and facts from history and bringing them into the now. Working with a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, found objects, drawing and multi media the artists selected for this show each has a very individual practice. The main common ground between the works is that of nostalgia, history and time gone by. Some works are political, some humorous, some emotive, surreal or aesthetically beautiful yet it is from a contemporary viewpoint, each artist considers how the past has informed our present. |
