This exhibition celebrates the talents of British icons from the worlds of sport, music and entertainment through an unusual collection of paintings that focuses on the mouth or foot for which they became famous.
About
Paintings on display include Alesha Dixon, created by Alison Lapper MBE; Jonny Wilkinson by Ian Parker, Strictly Come Dancing’s Anton Du Beke by Katrina Gardner and Susan Boyle by Rosaleen Moriarty-Simmonds OBE. The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists are a group of artists who from birth, or through accident or illness are unable to use their hands so instead hold a paintbrush in their mouth or with their foot.
The exhibition will feature a first preview of 10 portraits, with the opportunity to meet a selection of the artists and their famous subjects.
