This double portrait by ⁦Peter Davis MAFA CBPP⁩ will go on show at ⁦National Portrait Gallery⁩ this summer. Fahima Patel from Preston said having her portrait painted once was 'really special, but having a painting of you twice, side by side, is a bit overwhelming' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

An exhibition of some of my zeitgeist portraits is now on Calico They explore our relationship with personal technology from phones, gaming consoles to virtual reality. Calico is at 52-55 Mosley Street, 1 minute walk from Manchester Art Gallery.
