Mural Artist opens Playful Pop up shop at the Baltic

The Sheffield based artist has revealed a new series of artworks as part of a pop up shop at The Baltic Art Gallery in Gateshead.

Open until Sunday, September 28 this year, the pieces will be open to the public through the summer.

“What I’m hoping people can expect is some joy, some colour and just feeling posititive about the work.

“The work is playful and I’m hoping that people get that from the show. I want kids to come here with adults and just experience it and see what emotions it provokes.

“I’m really curious to see what people think.”

“There’s a theme of play and toys and fun running through the show. It’s ultimately about connecting to people and I think that’s what we need today. Everything is so fast and so tecnilogical. I just want to tell stories and connect with people through emotion.”
