During the Second World War, he designed many posters for London Transport, the Ministry of Food and the GPO.
FRIDAY 12 MAY
Preview: herOiNE: the future is pink
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM @ The Square Gallery London, 9b Battersea Square, Battersea, London, SW11 3RA
Curated by the all-women team behind the Square Gallery London, a unifying visual theme of the often gendered colour pink runs through the exhibition. By incorporating a range of media including neon lighting and interactive textile art, the work on display seeks to represent the physical, the mental, and the conceptual forms of the feminine.
