This Is London Calling | Alex Echo

This Is London Calling 

An inspirational statesman, writer, orator and leader who led Britain to victory in the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill is the 7th release by Alex Echo. This is London Calling

The debut collection by this very talented artist who despite his diagnosis of Parkinson's in 2019 has created the most meaningful pieces. Being prescribed a medication toxic to his body just prior to covid lockdown and unable to see a neurologist during lockdown, Alex lost most of his dexterity and became unable to paint.  Alex now works with various substrates from sustainable paper and maple, silver foil and brushed aluminium to perspex, life sized 3D painting and Lenticular, Alex is free to create in any direction.  

"The universe in no uncertain terms told me I had said all I could say with paint... but gave me a new and unlimited medium and palette."

Rainbow words light up the sky alongside detailed emoji-like images accompanying them. These works express a child-like love of life that all of us can do with remembering sometimes.
