Come see myself and 60 other artists at Cotton On Art All Dayer!

 I’ll be selling my usual prints, but this time I will also have t shirts, postcards & original work. Located at Hallé St Peter’s Blossom St, cutting Room Square, Ancoats, Manchester. This is dead close to my best friend’s spanking neighborhood bar the Jane Eyre I’d recommend booking a table in here for after. Where I actually have two large paintings on permanently displayed. Hope to see you there. 

A complete mixture of creativity will be on show in this group exhibit. With no connecting theme in play, the space will simply showcase the work of the following individuals. Chris Leach , Myself, Mathew Quick and Martha Lyons Haywood

 Taking place in Gallery Frank situated inside Ebor Studio.

On Saturday the 2nd of April, Ebor studios and the work of the associate members will be open to view and the artists available to talk to. 🙂

Ill absolutely be sat or stood in Gallery FRANK with a hat on, ready to show, sell and chat!

This exhibition is made up from a collection of five large acrylic paintings and their development drawings. Quite possibly responding new work in the space during the set up.

They were warmly received when exhibited last November at  OklhomaMcr in Manchester and I am extremely exited to show these again to a new audience on the calmer backdrop of  Gallery FRANK.

These paintings have a slightly different aesthetic to previous paintings of mine. Im placing this down to the environment they were created in. I completed the series on a carpet in a small bedroom of my mums in Scarborough last year whilst I was between studios. For this reason I had to keep my brushes and the space clean, rather than sloshing paint all over  in the way a studio would allows. The result was  sharper, cleaner lines and undiluted  colours. An absolute accident but definitely  a practice I’d  like to continue. 

I’ll be completing 2022 with a three month artist residency with Mothership. This was a 2021 plan postponed 🙃 But my positive take is that with a year on,  I can bring more to this tremendous table of opportunity. Three months in a place is possibly my favorite amount of time to get to know somewhere. Any less just doesn’t cut it. If anyone has any recommendations, friends, ideas, things I should check out or do while I’m there. Please get in touch.

Mothership NYC is a combined live-work space and presentation arena for international artists across multiple disciplines in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, NYC. Run by a painter captain aided by a rotating crew of fellow artists, their mission is to serve as a welcoming landing platform for colleagues from elsewhere making the leap to NYC: We aim to support and promote our peers at all career levels through residencies, public programming & collaborative opportunities; build lasting transnational artist networks; and help retain creative forces in New York City.
