George’s third exhibition of fine art screen prints is coming up in a month’s time at Thistle Hall Gallery, on Cuba Street. He has been quite busy spending late nights at his studio putting it all together.

The image above, a small teaser from George, employs various collage elements of old maps [of London] from the early 1900s, along with his regular screen printing style, onto [marine] plywood. The dimensions are approximately 50cm wide by 60cm tall.

Act2/8 (Actuate) follows George’s previous two exhibitions also held at Thistle Hall [d:construct (2008) and e-motion (2009)] and continues the overall themes and undertones of the previous two. The first print starts with Change as the main subject and continues on through different themes based on personal ‘experiences’ and patterns.

Act2/8 will be showing from the 27th of October until the 30th.
