Signal Gallery is bringing together Matt Small and Zac Walsh for the show called “This is us” from 12th March to 1st April 2010.
Matt and Zac have studied together at the Royal College Of Art, but artistically their paths have moved in different directions.
Using a unique marbleized technique, Matt’s works range from portraits of young people that he previously photographed on the street to distinctive cityscapes.
Zac’s work is more oriented towards photorealism, mixing figurative paintings with asbtract and geometrical backgrounds.

Ahead of Banksy’s UK nationwide film release on 5th March 2010, a pop-up cinema is showing ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’.
Lambeth Palace is situated in Leake Street, under Waterloo train station and features infamous Banksy installations and animatronics. The same tunnel hosted the Banksy Cans Festival in 2008.
Exit through the Gift Shop is a documentary of how an eccentric French shopkeeper, Thierry Guetta, turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview.
Banksy himself describes the film as “the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed”.
