An exhibition of iconic figures drawn using handwriting.

Gary has a unique method of drawing by bending his handwriting to form a portrait – often with such detail that at first glance the viewer doesn’t realise they are looking at the written word.

This exhibition showcases people to celebrate: creatives, scientists, writers and leaders. Whatever the icon’s background, Gary finds ways to incorporate meaning through both text and the visual to create a distinctive and inimitable effect. He has exhibited in London, Cambridge and Los Angeles and has sold artwork across the world.

This exhibition showcases his latest new works and a selection of limited and open edition prints from his catalogue.
