Planning on visiting the galleries in Brighton? Th Planning on visiting the galleries in Brighton? Thinking of gifting some artwork this Christmas? I have lots of new pieces making their way to @paxtonglew, ready for the weekend 🙌🙂
I'm so excited to announce that I'll be taking par I'm so excited to announce that I'll be taking part in the @art_yard_sale next month! To celebrate I've created two brand new Mirrorball Smileys, in gold and in rose gold and have put them together as an exclusive set of 3. Sure you can hang them on the wall, but you might just want to play with them 🙂

The event is running online, so set your alarms for 9am Friday 21st November! It runs for one weekend only, until midnight Sunday 23rd November ⏰ 

Oh and there's more to add but I'll keep you hanging...

‘Floating Balloons’, an edition of 99. Availab ‘Floating Balloons’, an edition of 99. Available in two sizes, from my website as well as @stelladore_gallery and @paxtonglew 🎈

Inspired in equal part by #Banksy, and my friend’s wedding (after which my ceiling was covered with red helium balloons), ‘Floating balloon’ is part of a series of wooden cut-outs featuring icons of popular culture

The balloon fixes to the wall, and the satin ribbon hangs loose giving a sense that the balloon is floating midair. Alternatively fixed flat to the ceiling 

Painted with a combination of stencil and freehand. No two pieces will be exactly the same #99redballoons

These mini smiles pack a punch for their size; Hang them on a wall that gets good sunlight, and they are the peacocks of my Smiley collection!

🥁 And drum roll please, it’s a brand new prin 🥁 And drum roll please, it’s a brand new print! Signed edition of just 50

The story behind this painting is of a friendship with someone who moved home to Vietnam after our Fine Art Degree. He asked if I'd paint him a 'Clown walking away' and what you see here was intended to be my initial sketch. Only it felt perfect. It wasn't consciously a self-portrait, but I did a lot of clowning at the time, and I feel as though it is one.
