Mr. Penfold
Mr. Penfold lives and works in Cambridge, England. He is an artist who makes paintings, installations, prints and drawings. The paintings have strong linear elements. On the one hand these are gracefully drawn outlines let the images melt together with the foil and on the other hand they lift off the figures from the ground. Many of the people featuring his works he has observed in London's bars and pubs.
He uses screenprints, woodcuts and etching to make his prints. He creates his works in a professional printmaking studio where he works with many other well known artists. He has also built a considerable reputation as a freelance designer working for record labels, promoters and clothing labels.
Mr Penfold is the brother of Drum 'n' Bass Djs Nu:tone and Logistics. Both of them are signed to Hospital records, a label he has also designed for. Besides he has been recently working for German clothing brand '667' which is based in Düsseldorf.
The exhibition at Pretty Portal gallery was his first solo show. Earlier he took part in group shows which ranged from Los Angeles to London. The title of the show 'Zup Kapow' reflects his interest in the world of pop culture and comics.
Expect to see some big, bold, bright imagery.
