Group Show @ Galerie Pompom
Do you remember MOP Projects? It’s an artist run initiative that has been running for something close to 10 years. Last time we visited it had two gallery spaces and now it has one. The guys who run MOP have built a wall and cut a door to turn the second gallery into a street-front space that’s ...
Birdlife – Fiona Roderick @ Sweets Workshop

Their work is a series of ...
Numskull – Lauren Webster @ Kaleidoscope Galley

A visual feast of skulls elegantly scrawled in black and highlighted in pastels. Yep, sounds awful, but wasn’t. The sheer volume of work in this exhibition was impressive, as was the consistency ...
