An immersive work over two floors, it goes far beyond the eye murals, or the Everyman figures and tin-can people he is already known and loved for.
This is like stepping inside the artist’s mind – combining paintings, sculpture, sound and light on a grand scale. There is artwork tucked in alcoves, round corners, in hidden rooms, on every surface.
Speaking with The News, surrounded by his work, My Dog Sighs explains the idea behind the show: ‘I'd been looking for a space, and I'd been wanting to move from painting murals on the street and I knew I wanted to do it in my hometown.
