The SALON16 exhibition ORDINARY MONSTERS has ended. It seems to have been a great success, with the work provoking strong reactions from members of the public. To find out more about the event, visit the new SALON16 website. Lots of pictures from the opening party here…
The latest exhibition organised by my collaborative art space Salon16 opens this week for four days only. Of course I’d love you see you there. Why not come to the opening night party and see Bunny de Sade perform her ‘musical soundscrape’? Or pop in on Sunday and model for award-winning photographer Kalpesh Lathigra? Or just come along any time between Saturday and Tuesday and see what all the fuss is about! For more information and the latest updates visit salon16.org.

Streetwise Opera is an amazing organisation that stages professional operas performed by people who have experienced homelessness. They recently commissioned me to create four images for their upcoming winter production FABLES. The four fables are The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Oscar Wilde’s The Nightingale & The Rose, Hey! Come On Out! by Shinichi Hoshi, and the story of The Hartlepool Monkey. The performances are to be filmed and screened as the highlight of this winter’s Shoreditch Music Festival.

Despite the sunny days in the studio, I still seem to be producing some seriously gloomy paintings. The title of the latest “Why don’t you kill yourself?” will be familiar to fans of brilliant 70s post-punk rockers The Only Ones.
