We are extremely excited to have confirmed our first artist in residence! David Shillinglaw will be staying with us from 4th – 19th April 2010 and showing work in progress in our Studio with a final show in Osaka.

His paintings illustrate ideas rubbing against each other, drawing on references to ancient mythology along side popular culture; creating a dialogue and vocabulary that skips between the historic and the contemporary.

It’s going to be very interesting to see what random threads of Japanese culture he incorporates into his new work as a result of the residency.

David is one of the most prolific painters you are ever likely to meet, and his energy is infectious. Pop into the studio and see this genius at work.
