Art Of Punk – “Punk ~ The Transatlantic Paintings” – The Exhibition

Some photo’s from the Preview night of the “Punk ~ The Transatlantic Paintings” exhibition which took place at The Gallery,  Liverpool on Friday 07 November.

Against a backdrop of some terrific punk  music, there was a steady stream of visitors for more than 3 hours from 7pm until 10pm.   Thank you to all of the cool people from Liverpool who came along to meet me and to see my art of punk as well as to engage in conversation on the subject, I had some most interesting discussions.    Also a special mention must go to Pete Griffiths, bassist from the 1977 punk band The Spitfire Boys, who made the trip over from Ireland especially to be there.

It was also tremendous to meet the acclaimed and highly entertaining actor Dean Sullivan, well known for his role as ‘Jimmy Corkhill’ in the Channel 4 TV series Brookside.
