An exhibition of new paintings by Thomas Langley.
In collaboration with five contemporary galleries, Langley shows works from his on-going series ‘Mummy’s boy’, for the first time in a dedicated solo exhibition.
Having started this nonsensical paradoxical quest to ‘buy mum a house’ during his studies at the Royal academy schools, Langley now fully fledged, flexes this newfound artistic adult hood with a solo show hosted by Cob Gallery. Large-scale text-based paintings sit alongside newly developed representational landscapes. This exhibition marks a completion in what until now has been an on-going series.
