UK-based artist Mobstr recently launched his solo exhibition Sex, Drugs & Painting Canvases at The Old Truman Brewery in London.

London: Conor Harrington @ the Outsiders

February 14, 2013 butterfly

Conor Harrington is returning to London for another exhibition titled A Whole Lot of Trouble for a Little Bit of Win, this time at The Outsiders. The show features 20 studies and works on paper leading up to the Morning Glory painting he did for his 2012 exhibition called Dead Meat. The UK-based artist calls these his Morning Glories as he paints them daily, first thing upon arrival at his east London studio to catalyse the creative process.

Using oils and spray paint on canvas, Conor Harrington depicts ethereal multi-ethnic portraits, with a reference to the duality between East and West and the rise of new superpowers, like China.
