Iain Hetherington

Posted on July 30, 2008 Under Art

Scottish artist Iain Hetherington has found a way to mix baseball caps and gold chains with abstract art. His paintings explore racial themes amongst the working class, bringing a street savvy edge to the underlying satire by splattering a portrait's facial features and using visual prompts to define his subjects. A collection of Hetherington’s work is on display this Monday in the Upper Gallery of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Be quick, because the show only runs for eight days (August 4th through the 11th).
