Summer Shows

It's already been a busy summer for the artists involved in Look Up, and it would appear there's no rest for the wicked. The wickedly talented, that is.

That's right, while the rest of us have been finishing work early and hiding in beer gardens, our artists have been busy chipping away at their creative practice and exhibiting new work. Fiona Grady and Mark McClure have both contributed fantastic screen prints to our launch collection (available now in our SHOP), and that's not all they've been up to...
