London: Batman – Arkham Knight ‘Cape and Cowl’ Exhibition
WB Games UK has teamed up with Moniker Projects to invite twenty of the most exciting contemporary artists and media celebrities to produce the UK edition of Batman: Arkham Knight ‘Cape and Cowl’ Exhibition.
The artworks stand within dimly lit Victorian railway arches, casting a procession of silhouetted Batman shadows onto the bare-brick walls. The occasional rumble of overhead trains resonate over the ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ sound track, which together with the backdrop of the ‘Holding Cells’ set captures the atmospheric Gotham City aesthetic.
Mondays preview was attended by artists, celebrities and press. Guests experienced the twenty diverse approaches to re-designing the iconic Batman ‘Cape and Cowl’ within a Gotham City immersive setting.
The exhibition is now open to the public and continues until Sunday 28th June and features the creations of artists’ Nancy Fouts, Lauren Baker, Hayden Kays, Inkie, Pam Glew, INSA, The Connor Brothers, Zeus, Matt Small, Jon Burgerman, CASE, CRASH, Cyclops, Kid Acne, Logan Hicks and Pure Evil and media celebrities Jonathan Ross, Noel Clarke, Eliza Doolittle and Jodie Kidd.
Curated & produced by Moniker Projects Frankie Shea & Lindsay Edmunds, the exhibition is a rare opportunity to see these works on display together and to witness the exceptionally inspired approaches to what is a comic book, film and video game phenomenon.

London: Julian Opie – Alan Cristea Gallery
The Alan Cristea Gallery in London is currently showing new editions by Julian Opie alongside prints and animations, produced in a variety of media.
Inspired by different views of the town and countryside, the London series present us with observations of the everyday life: figures of walking in the rain, tourists on the Southbank, passers-by at school gates and busy crowds of workers descending on the city.
The series, French Landscapes (2013), based on photos taken by the artist in France at different times of the day in different weather conditions, present us with revisited versions of Hiroshige’s nineteenth-century woodblocks of Japanese landscapes using lenticular or computer technology.
For the first time, Opie reveals a new series of metal wall hangings, Nature 1. (2015), depicting boats, sheep, carp and pebbles which have been cut from sheet aluminium.
Running until the 18th July, the exhibition, displayed across the two spaces of the gallery also feature small sculptures, metal silhouettes, screenprints and lenticulars, dating from 2012 – 2015.
