Part of the Pride show 'Familiar Strangers'
JUNE 1ST TILL JULY 31ST
I was lucky enough to be asked to create my solo show 'Familiar Strangers' for Brookfield Properties as part of their celebration for Pride.
Split amongst two of their iconic sites. City Point and Aldgate Tower in London.
All artworks are for sale unless stated otherwise please note that delivery will be after the exhibition has finished.
Oil on canvas

Perfect bodies in paradise conditions. Pools, ponds, lidos, are places to work out or to relax and gaze at the surrounding beauty whilst floating weightlessly in a sea of blue. They’re also meeting places. Speedos, shorts, six-packs. A glance of a muscular back - wet - as it strains to heave it's owner out of the pool.
With this series I wanted to explore the themes of water and the homoerotic. The paintings are fluid and colourful. Abstract figures, strangers, slyly glancing at each other, a smile, before the inevitable. An anonymous casual hook up.
