Art Where You Least Expect It

I choose to exhibit my work in places where people live and pass through: restaurants, cafés, bookshops, boutiques, tattoo studios and cultural venues. These are spaces where art meets people who may not have expected to encounter it.

I believe some works find their place more naturally over a meal, during a walk or in the course of a conversation than within the walls of a gallery.

Each exhibition is conceived in dialogue with the place that hosts it and the people who bring it to life.

A Selection for Each Space

Not all my works tell the same part of the story.

I put together a different selection for each venue, taking its character and its visitors into account. Some exhibitions favour more sensitive, contemplative works; others make room for pieces that are more sensual or more assertive.

I plan each display with the person who runs the venue so that the works find their place there naturally.

One-of-a-Kind Reproductions

The original paintings remain in my studio.

To let the images travel, I make one-of-a-kind reproductions using vintage frames that I find individually.

Each piece is printed, assembled, framed and signed by hand.

Even when two pieces reproduce the same painting, no two are alike.

Every frame has its own history.

Every reproduction becomes a singular work.

Host an Exhibition

If you would like to exhibit my work in your venue, I would be delighted to imagine an exhibition with you, shaped around your space and the people who visit it.
