STANLEY DONWOOD – WORKS ON PAPER

Posted on 2011-02-07

Work on Paper, a solo exhibition by the artist Stanley Donwood.  Donwood will showcase a selection of rare print editions and original drawings on paper.  Included in this selection are  up to 13  brand new exclusive prints,  as well as never before seen prints from his most acclaimed series namely ‘Atoms For Peace’, ‘London Views’ and ‘Twisted Woods’.
Renowned for his collaboration with Radiohead, Stanley has created all the band’s artwork from their second album on.  Yet, Donwood’s evocative and haunting imagery reaches far beyond band’s brand, which he helped to catapult to international stardom.

Interweaving meditative illustrations with propagandist text and graphics, his work’s potency lies in the unique pairing of deeply personal emotions and political themes alongside an inherent sense of reserved wit.  This winning combination allows for the examination of grave subjects not entirely seriously but without a doubt respectfully.

Exhibition runs from February 17th to March 12th, 2011

RICHARD PHILLIPS – MOST WANTED

Posted on 2011-01-24

Phillips’ strikingly distinctive paintings are drawn from found imagery, which he uses to address the marketability of our wishes, identity, politics, sexuality and mortality. He translates these images into drawings before executing large-scale oil paintings through a traditional process. He thus examines the iconic nature of pictures, which the media and art world use daily, each according to its own agenda.
For ‘Most Wanted’, Richard Phillips selected ten of America’s most instantly recognisable celebrities from the realms of television, cinema and music to create distilled portraits of young, powerful stars exhibiting their rehearsed, red-carpet expressions. Phillips’ two-metre high canvases of Chace Crawford, Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, Dakota Fanning, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and Robert Pattinson.
