Happy to announce my latest PINStallation is at Museum Of Croydon ‘housing’ the portrait of Stormzy and his mum Abigail Owuo, photographed by Olivia Rose (part of the National Portrait Gallery permanent collection) and currently on loan at the museum until 28th September 2019.
COMING HOME is a major project which will see the National Portrait Gallery lend portraits of iconic individuals to places across the UK with which they are most closely associated.…
Mumzy came to see my face in the ‘Croydonians’ Exhibition at the Museum of Croydon – on until April 😍
One of my first ever portrait shots i’m actually happy with (normally hate them), taken by the talented Alfie Shillingford, the exhibition shows past & present faces of Croydon including composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who’s musical career actually helped create the PRS for Music back in 1914 partly as consequence of the deliberations over Coleridge-Taylor’s finances when he died in 1912 🎼✊🏽
Other fellow Croydonians include: Kate Moss, Stormzy, Emily Blunt, Tracey Emin, David Lean, Philip Green, Vicky Pollard…the greatness is real, come to Croydon, ha
Was recently involved in a group show entitled ‘An Exquisite Mess‘ (Think Wallace Collection meets Burning Man Fest) – Set in the lovely private home of designer Haley Mclane down in Clifton Gardens, featuring a mixed bag of 30 artists, DJs and live performance artists.
The whole night was a vibe I have to say…some quality artworks and a nice mash up of people…oh, and the food 😛 Was just nice to experience a full on show inside a house other than a gallery for a change, really helped shape the vibe and enjoyed the way people responded to the works, as if you could say, this was their house for the night, that homely feel without that clinical / stuffy vibe of a gallery, if you know what I mean…
Big up Haley on putting it all together alongside art curator India Dickinson, and all the other artists involved…special shout out to my guy Carlos for the connection, Whiskey, Henry, Sequinkay, Adam & Fred…Big up the Staircase going into the ceiling too *Features!…
So during my solo show last month, nice guy Lester from I Dig Your Sole Man (the worlds first ever sneaker/street based blog) reached down and took some pretty cool snaps of my donut self and my krispy Nike Air Max, on the streets of London…
