Crouch End is an area of north London, in the London Borough of Haringey.

He says of his exhibition:
“My recent works celebrate scientific insights into the hidden patterns and features of the natural world while questioning the artifice that brings them to our perception. Using acrylic gel as a primary sculptural medium poses challenges but enables me to create multiples that can be turned into large scale sculptural pieces. These are often translucent or intensely coloured to reflect the heightened reality of images produced by techniques such as electron microscopy or x ray crystallography.”


Venues are open Saturday and Sunday 11–12 May from 12–6pm.
Original Gallery 24 Artists: Group Show is open 3–16 May. Weekdays 1–7pm. Saturday 1–4pm. Sunday 12–4pm. In addition to the trail venues there is a guest artist, a children’s exhibition and more.
Please check their website for up to date information.
