This week sees the end of ‘Great Moments in Popular Music’ at SNAP Galleries in London. This has been my first major solo show in London and has had a fantastic response, I’m really proud of every piece in the show. Many thanks to all who have visited SNAP galleries in London.
The exhibition closes on Saturday 29th, If you get the chance to pop in the gallery this week please do so because I’m dead proud of this exhibition and I’d love you to see the work.
On a previous post I asked people for their recollections of festival gigging and the overriding response was the memory of being covered in urine, lobbed by punters in the crowd. How was I going to interpret this without it being nasty?
The answer, parody and Banksy's flower thrower was ideal. I just turned the Burberry masked casual into a ponytailed AC/DC fan. Though I hear that the Arctic Monkeys' Manchester cricket ground gig a few years back was a very drenching experience.
One of the contradictions in my minimal approach to painting are my record shop images and the detail I put into the sleeves. I suppose I don't want to pay short shrift to classic icon imagery that we've all grown up with and the roll they have played in our lives.
