The artist said: ‘Jack House Gallery is a great space for artists to show their art and I’m looking forward to sharing my latest work.

‘The work you will see on the walls has been developed over time and involved much refining and loosening, re-working, layering, and remodelling, to make unique images that avoid cliché.’

Colin, who is from East London, has also exhibited work in numerous galleries and exhibitions throughout the UK and Europe, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
