London: Pete Hawkins – Behind closed doors
Painter Pete Hawkins returns to returns to The Outsiders with a new solo exhibition, Behind Closed Doors, featuring a series of miniature modern fables painted on antique doors. “Doors hold a lot of meaning,” explains Pete, “and not only as transitional points in people’s lives. There’s the inherent sense of nostalgia they bear. Plus,” as children’s writer C S Lewis knew only too well, “there’s the compelling suggestion of what may
lie behind them.”
Pete Hawkins’ Behind Closed Doors is a gateway to the corners of your imagination.

London: Conor Harrington @ the Outsiders
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.

London: Dan Witz – Prisoners 2012- 2013
New York-based artist Dan Witz, who has been a pillar of street art over the past 30 years, just opened a brand new exhibition, Prisoners 2012-13 at Lazarides in London. Witz’ debut at Lazarides features his paintings from his signature Mosh Pit series, where figures intertwine and climb over one another with different stages of expressions during a mosh pit, from the pressure, pain and joy.
For the adjacent Prisoners series, Witz partnered with Amnesty International – the world’s largest human rights organization. As a symbolic reference to their real-life struggles, each of these imprisoned individuals is portrayed with few clothes, masked or with their hands tied.
Witz has also been dispersing his unique realistic stamp on the streets of London by painting one of his prisoners’ image onto phone boxes.
