FINCHLEY ART SOCIETY

– Art Exhibition, November 2009
The artist who is a member of this prestige society which celebrated its 60th anniversary with this exhibition, participated with two new works which are different from his usual style and reflect events which occupied the minds of most people during the previous year and continue to do so. They are inspired by The City Banking Crisis, and the ever fearful casualties in the distant land of Afghanistan.

See details on both in “Recent Works” page – Contemporary works


THE LONDON PROJECT

....Some images appear already in “Recent Works” page – London Imagess

Here, the artist has embarked on a very important project. Its birth goes back many years, from the time he was working in Fleet Street as an artist with the Daily Mail and both the pubs on rainy days or the river and the embankment during clear days were his escape during his spare time....
