Toby Mott's I LOVE SUMMER exhibition, including new paintings and his vibrant
I LOVE MY NEIGHBOURHOOD series.

About

Toby Mott, a British artist, designer, and Punk historian, known for his work with the Grey Organisation, is having an exhibition at BOO'S CLOSET in Notting Hill Gate, London. It will include new unreleased paintings, as well as pieces from his I LOVE MY NEIGHBOURHOOD SERIES, THE ESCAPE PROJECT, THE LOVE SERIES, NEW LUXURY PUNK, and the EMPTY THE ARCHIVE collection.

Reception will be Wednesday 30th June from 6 to 9 PM. It will be open daily and by appointment from 12 to 5 PM.

I LOVE MY NEIGHBOURHOOD SERIES
New drawings celebrating the diverse place names of London neighbourhoods. Rendered on bright painted paper, Toby brings a pop sensibility to your favourite area and community. Commissions welcome.

Other works and series available:
THE ESCAPE PROJECT
Whilst wondering where I would like to escape to during the first Covid lockdown, and asking others where they would like to escape to, this drawing project was born.

THE LOVE SERIES
My intention, with these ink on paper works, is to encourage consideration of the many manifestations of Love, by using the form of the word love as a repeated motif, multi layered and at conflicting angles. The result is dynamic full of colour and energy — Like Love itself.

NEW LUXURY PUNK
These paintings, not dissimilar to religious icons – combine a debased, trash-punk aesthetic with the status symbols of the high fine arts. Mott uses superlative materials, such as real gold and silver, in combination with some subverted craft skills and lots of art historical awareness, all signed off with the authenticity of the artist’s signature. Although, on close inspection, we see that Mott’s signature is not hand written, but crudely stencilled.
Arts writer Neil Brown.

EMPTY THE ARCHIVE
This project is a way of relinquishing some of my art works that have built up over time.
From my childhood oil pastel works to 1980’s Central School of Art life drawing studies, early 1990’s wax crayon works from my time in Los Angeles to dip pen and ink drawings made in London throughout the 2000’s, along with sculptural works.
A few items from the Grey Organisation archive will also be available.
Simply attend the exhibition, pay what you can for a work of your choice, and take it away with you.
All I request is that you post a photo of the received work in situ adding the hashtags #EmptyTheArchive #TobyMott
Better on your wall than in my storage unit.
