A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities
A solo exhibition by James Lomax

Opening Reception: 13 November 2024, 6-8pm

The gallery is delighted to announce a solo exhibition by James Lomax. The exhibition 'A Tale of Two Cities' brings together an immersive new body of painting, sculpture and photography. The exhibition centres around a notion of duality. It expands upon Lomax's recent solo exhibition at HMP Grendon, a Category B men's prison which is one of two prisons in England and Wales that function as a democratic therapeutic community. Lomax's exhibition at HMP Grendon was available for residents of HMP Grendon only, and was the result of an Artist Residence undertaken in the prison, made possible to Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.

More information coming soon.
