Solo Exhibitions
2024 - Two exhibitions of New Works.
In 2024 I will present new works in two key exhibitions.
The first will be my next London Solo Show with Erskine Hall & Coe in September 2024. These shows always represent a hugely important opportunity and healthy challenge for me; with the freedom to simply create my best work. I look forward to sharing images of the works when the show is open.
The second exhibition will be a collaborative exhibition with my friend and colleague Joseph Walsh . The exhibition will be held at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in October. Having spoken about working together for many years, it is a wonderful opportunity to create works that respond directly to each other.
