Here the second work of a new series inspired by Beatrix Potter's creativity, "Portrait #14 (Badger, Memento Mori)". It's a homage to the lasting legacy of Western art with its concept of Memento Mori (Remember your mortality). The original work is available!😊 #AllanBank

In July 1882 it was the Potter family’s first Lake District holiday, at Wray Castle. Beatrix meets Hardwicke Rawnsley, one of the three founders of the National Trust. #BeatrixPotter #NationalTrust

Here the third work of a new series inspired by Beatrix Potter's creativity, "Portrait #16 (Herdwick ram, a rogue politician)". Probably the most satiric piece, however, I symbolised the dark political climate of our current society. The original work is available!😊 #AllanBank

Yesterday my daughter Kemi and I visited Whitworth Art Gallery to see the new exhibition Albrecht Dürer’s Material World. We were stunned by its quality, not only Dürer’s work but also the gallery’s elegant design & rich spaces, curation and installation. Must see!😊#whitworth

Here is the fourth work, "Portrait #13 (Android Herdwick lamb dreaming of electric sheep)", a dark humour interweaving Potter's legacy and contemporary culture in the wake of AI. The original work is available!😊 #AllanBank

Setting up of our Summer exhibition at #Grasmere is well under way, promises to be a good mix of styles and subjects. Opens 29 July - 6 Sept.

The three amigos! Lovin' it!! 😆 A great range of works won't let you down! Come and see😊

Here is the fifth work, "Portrait #18 (Rat in spacesuit))", through which I explored the meaning of the age of space development. The original work can be seen at Allan Bank!😊 #AllanBank

Thank you for sharing! 🤗

This morning, I took a small group to show around my new exhibition at Allan Bank. This episode of how Beatrix accurately depicted Peter's favourite radish available at the market in those days but rare now was on a topic I shared with them!😊#BeatrixPotter #AllanBank

Yes, I was at the reception desk today. I enjoyed working with a young capable receptionist Miss Trelawney (UCL History of Art student)!

Thank you, Michelle!😊

Sorry for my long absence! Here is the sixth work, "Portrait #22 (Shrew napping in hammock)", wishing you a moment of sweet dreams in our ever-stressful society. The original work can be seen at Allan Bank!😊 #AllanBank

A thing of nature, beauty and history destroyed, and with it, the memories of thousands of people who loved that tree and everything it stood for. Shame on whoever did it. National Trust
