    Dan Jamieson, Please don't make me beg for a top up

    WELCOME TO THE EARLY ACCESS PRE-SALE! 

     

    Back by popular demand (and a little bit of attitude), we're delighted to present Dan Jamieson's latest exhibition. His famous hate plates reimagine the politest of domestic objects as vehicles for satire — glossy, hand-crafted, and uncompromisingly blunt. Alongside luminous neons and bold prints, these works speak the thoughts we’d never say out loud (or perhaps only after a glass of wine), revealing the passive-aggressive undercurrents of contemporary life. They may make you laugh, squirm, or nod in recognition, but they also stand as brilliantly executed contemporary pieces of art: bold in design, precise in craft, and utterly unapologetic. 

    Warning: not for the easily offended.

    PRIVATE VIEW

    Wednesday 29th October 

    6-8pm
