The exhibition comprises Philip's vibrant and colourful felt pen drawings from his post quake drawing books where some of the bizarre figures found in the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch merge with Philip's extensive collection of toys. Cute toys such as My Little Pony, Lego figures or soft cuddly animals are often depicted brandishing sharp blades, such as knives and swords or being pierced by pins, often taking on menacing and anxious personas. The exhibition, titled DONE: Recent Drawing Books by Philip Trusttum runs from 23 September to 28 October so head along if you can.
