Installation View

This is an installation view of my painting 'Blue/Green' hung next to Rivane Neunschwander's 'Oil Spills', a set of pigment prints on paper. The exhibition is on view at Shape Art Gallery, Westfield Stratford City, London until 8th March and you can bid for them online as part of the 'Shape Contemporary Art Benefit Auction' on online auction house Paddle8 until 16 March 2016.

Twenty-five artists have donated work to this charity auction including Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller and Grayson Perry. In an exciting range of media including painting, print, collage, photography, sculpture and art object, and valued across a broad price range, the donated works, many of them newly-created and not previously exhibited, are set to appeal to a diverse base of collectors, buyers and art lovers. Well worth a look.
