MAGIC WEIRDOS NEVER DIE

Scawfell Studios / LONDON / May 2nd @ 6pm

FEATURING: Jon Boam, Manuel Donada, Jasper Dunk, Berto Fojo, Dillon Froelich, Ghostpatrol, Kyle Hughes-Odgers, Suzi Kemp, Sean Morris, Luke Pelletier, James Unsworth

New London gallery space Scawfell Studios opens its doors on May 2nd with “Magic Weirdos Never Die” – a group exhibition featuring 11 contemporary artists from 4 different countries, curated by Sean Morris.

Following on from the successful group show “Let’s Go Magic Weirdos”, held last year in his hometown of Perth, Western Australia, Sean Morris is at it again. This time he’s bringing his work and bunch of impressive, magical weirdos to London.

The line-up includes Australian art heroes Ghostpatrol and Kyle Hughes-Odgers, Spanish comic artist Berto Fojo, the prolific Luke Pelletier from the States, and killer London based illustrators Jon Boam, Suzie Kemp and Jasper Dunk.

Along side these phenomenal names will be the usual awesome depravity from Londoner James Unsworth, the black metal space demons of Madrid’s Manuel Donada, beautifully strange and politically charged drawings from Florida’s Dillon Froelich and the white trash fables of Sean Morris himself, who hits London just 2 weeks after a successful solo exhibition in Madrid.

Get down for the exhibition opening on Thursday the 2nd of May from 6pm-9pm at Scawfell Street Studios: 6a Scawfell Street E2 8NG. This is gonna be huge.
