When
was the last time you spared a thought for the talented sign-painters of this world – the renegades who turn their back on the computer age and use what God gave them to create signage for your viewing pleasure? Can’t remember? Well lucky for you there’s a new show to help change that. ‘Business as Usual’ brings together some of today’s finest sign-painters to champion an art form that often gets overlooked in favour of its digitalised, Photoshopped cousin.Each of the artists involved, including Dapper Signs, Letterknight and Lord Dunsby to name a few, have spent the past few months creating tongue-in-cheek works based on fictitious businesses using anything they can get their hands on, from metal, wood and glass to and gold leaf and enamel.
The exhibition promises to be a carnival of the disorderly so if you fancy a bit of hand-painted chaos, simply follow the signs.
