Gavin Watson – Flock & Stock, Jonathan Cooper, Park Walk Gallery, 20 Park Walk, London, SW10, until 21st March 2015
This show is Gavin Watson’s first in the UK for more than twenty years as previously he had been represented by New York’s Cricket Hill Gallery.
His works are inspired by the setting and history of Northumberland. The fortified tower houses, known as Bastle houses, provided shelter in troubled times for both people and their livestock and it is this idea which has provided the ideas for these present works which are charged with atmosphere and imagination.
