Thanks to everyone came along to the opening of the exhibition Supersingular last night in Stoke Newington. BHVU was packed and the beer ran out. The highlight of the evening had to be a fantastic set of French pop classics by the wonderful SURI ET LES COPAINS. Watch them perform Les Cactus at last night’s opening here! Thanks to everyone who helped, especially Charlotte Lindsay from BHVU.
Don’t miss the exhibition which is open each weekend for the next month from 12-6pm.

David’s figurative paintings show us real people, but don’t show us the real world. It’s a carefully rearranged world of anxious encounters and deviant ritual aiming to invoke feelings of foreboding and melancholy in us.
The pictures sit outside of a recognisable time-frame and often represent unlikely groups of curious and seemingly disparate characters (a shaman, a figure wrapped in polythene, masked children, contortionists). Their intentions are ambiguous. Are they the welcoming committee or the death squad? Entertainers or sorcerers? It is left up to us to conjure the narrative.
Other pictures suggest a fundamentally ridiculous relationship between humans and simple machinery (a woman who seems to have coalesced with her sewing machine, a headless man being led around by a wheelbarrow).
“I heard someone describe David’s work as poignant and I think that’s true… without wanting to get too deep, it seems like a comment on the human condition, that in the end we’re all alone.” Simone Pereira Hind, critic

The BHVU Winter Open in Stoke Newington closes tomorrow (Sunday 19th December) at 6pm. If you’re stuck in Stoke Newington in the snow this weekend, why not go and have a look? As well as the art there’s a Christmas Market. Perfect for a special gift.
David has had two paintings (i found you on the street and there’s a squid problem) accepted into the BHVU Winter Open Exhibition which will be open from 27th November – 19th December 2010 at Basket House Village Universe in Leswin Place, London N16.. The private view will be on Thursday 25 November. More details to follow shortly…
Salon16 presents Ordinary Monsters:
Thanks to Ketan Raval who filmed and edited this.
I’ve posted a few images from the shoot I did with photographer Kalpesh Lathigra. During the ORDINARY MONSTERS exhibition in Brick Lane, Kalpesh and I shot members of the public wearing masks and headgear that I’d made that were directly influenced by the characters in my paintings. The resulting images will be exhibited in my next exhibition in February…
