STANLEY DONWOOD – APOCALYPSE BOUTIQUE
2013-11-03The exhibition will showcase a fantastically varied series of rare screen-prints, linoprints, etchings and original canvases. Stanley’s art veers from propagandist graphics to introspective illustrations.
His consistant strength is his ability to combine deep, personal and political emotions with modesty and humour. The weighty subjects are not examined not entirely seriously but certainly respectfully. Apocalypse Boutique aims to highlight the artist’s unique style and endless diversity.
Amongst the collection will be the last remaining original canvas from the ‘Hail to the Thief’ series, known internationally as the inspiration behind Radiohead’s number one Grammy Award Winning album. Stanley Donwood has been Radiohead’s in-house artist since he and Thom Yorke met at Exeter University. The powerful visual identity he’s created for the band is considered so in tune with Thom Yorke’s music that the debate still rages as to whether he and Yorke are one and the same.
Exhibition runs through to December 1st, 2013
