Opening tonight at The Ben Oakley Gallery (03/10/2014) is a solo exhibition by B.P. Portrait award winner John McCarthy.
"This exciting show includes over fifteen incredible new works. Amongst this collection are a series of his monotone trademark ‘Screwed Up’ film star and celebrity portraits that hint at the fragility of fame and the throw away culture we live in today, a process that he has painstakingly developed over recent years. McCarthy explains ‘the success of a painting is how it resonates and communicates with each viewer, only then do we know if we’ve screwed it up, or not’. An unmissable exhibition, where getting up close is irresistible"
