I’m pleased to share “Uncultivated Gods”: An exhibition questioning modern devotion: the powers we serve, the idols we normalise and the beliefs we fail to question, featuring paintings, sculpture, installation and performance. The exhibition will preview on Feb 19th with a live performance piece before transitioning into a DJ set. The preview will be ritualistic, communal and deliberately excessive with hints of queerness. Please mark the preview date in your calendar and if your network might be interested I’d appreciate a share 🙏 #londonexhibition #londonart #queerart

Excited to announce that my video for Rhian’s cover of the Sylvester hit “I Need Somebody to Love Tonight” has been selected for the UK Film Festival, which has screenings in London next week at @closeupfilmcentre. Although the video has won a few awards so far, this festival has a higher bar for acceptance. Their programme is impressive and includes an Al Pacino premiere. Myself and @rhiansongs will do a brief Q&A after our screening next Thursday.
A lovely relaxing day drawing organised by @adelewagstaff.artist at Brompton Oratory, with visiting Italian models @giuseppeclaudio_theartmodel and @andrea.morani_lifemodel #lifedrawing

"Le Pont de l'Espoir" (The Bridge of Hope), after Caillebotte (2nd image). A painting responding to the ongoing debate about how to interpret Caillebotte’s Le Pont de l’Europe. My version imagines how it might have looked in a world without gay shame — three men, free in their gaze, on a London bridge near Camden. The work mirrors the scale of the original (125 × 181 cm) but replaces the industrial Parisian bridge with one layered in contemporary graffiti and street art, featuring tributes to David Hockney, @symonesalibstudio’s My Existence is Resistance, @jeremynovy’s koi fish, and Make Everything Great Again by Dominykas Čečkauskas and Mindaugas Bonanu. Special thanks to Chester the dog for posing. 🐾 #caillebotte #gustavecaillebotte #pontdeleurope #queerjoy

“Sancta Regina”, oil on canvas, 60”x48”. This is a portrait of Rhian! (@rhiansongs) - a singer who grew up in the church as the son of a pastor - reimagined with the grandeur of religious ceremony through a queer lens. Set within a sacred space, the throne, crown, and mink stole shift from symbols of power and piety to emblems of queer sovereignty and self-expression. The title, Sancta Regina (Holy Queen), borrows from the prayer Salve Regina. In this work, it both honours and subverts that tradition, elevating the sitter as a figure of majesty whose voice carries both memory and liberation. #oilpainting #sancta #regina
