O M N I U M G A T H E R U M

Opening at Jealous Gallery in London on 12th October 2023 is an exhibition of prints that I've made between 2006 and 2018, or thereabouts. It will be called OMNIUM GATHERUM.
(This title has nothing to do with any records that may have been released by any band ever, and if it accidentally sounds like it does, that's because I'm extremely out-of-touch and know little about Australian rock bands, however prolific they might be.)

While the Earth rotated and time passed in its relentless and dizzying way I made many pictures. Unable to stick to any one style, the nature of my pictures varied quite considerably both in emotional mood and aesthetic sensibility, ranging from 'actually quite nice' to 'fucking depressing'. This inability of mine to settle into a recognisable and eventually familiar style was initially a bit frustrating, because it's quite useful to be recognisable in a very crowded art world, but I've got used to it and pretty much accepted that it's just the way it is; there's nothing I can do.

The exhibition will be composed of many, many framed works, which will be sold as seen - there will be the work on view that is for sale. Everything has been collected and selected following a major studio renovation, an event which has revealed many framed prints that I had almost-but-not-quite forgotten.
These works will be available only from Jealous; but have no fear if you can't get there, as our online purveyance vehicle, Work Avoidance, has a vastly different and yet strangely familiar body of work to offer here, in the online realm, the world of screen and hyperlink.
These prints aren't framed, but will be delivered rolled. For the forthcoming phase of Work Avoidance we have this selection of prints: The Gilding of New Troy, Eylot, Smeuse, Winter Smeuse, Citizen Insane, Aeratus Llyn, White Tooth and Truth.

If any of the prints shown here attract your interest, do click the link below. I hope you had a good summer.

UM... GATHER OMNIUM?
