INCOMING. OLEK SHOW
Some of you will already be aware of the recent controversy surrounding everyone's favourite champion of crocheted street art Olek. Arrested, tagged and briefly jailed, Olek is currently fighting unspecified charges brought after an incident in London.
You can find more about that here and join in the fundraising appeal by purchasing limited edition c-prints or donating : Olek Appeal
In the meantime, whilst still on bail, Olek will be having her first UK solo exhibition with Tony's Gallery. More info on the link below.

Tony’s Gallery is proud to present “I do not expect to be a mother but I do expect to die alone”, the first UK solo exhibition by Polish-born, New York-based artist Olek. Renowned for her use of crocheted yarn as a medium both indoors and on the street, the artist has created a major installation and sculptural environment: a distinctive Olek-esque living quarters filled with domestic objects of all kinds. These, along with the gallery walls and floor, have been entirely covered in crochet.
