Repeat After Me - A Brand New Exhibition by Oddly Head Coming Soon To Hang-Up

Hang-Up Gallery is proud to present their upcoming exhibition entitled Repeat After Me, the inaugural exhibition by London-based artist Oddly Head. The anticipated exhibition will celebrate Oddly Head’s brand new collection of bold, succinct and highly topical text-based limited edition screen prints and original mixed media works.

In his latest series, Oddly Head, the alter ego of artist Tim Fishlock, neatly sums up our worst fears for leaders who abandon politics in favour of infantile populism and who are now at liberty to indulge their appetite for both distraction and destruction.

Using Trump's own tweet posted in a desperate attempt to defend his Muslim travel ban, A Lot of Bad Dudes Out There is the new print by Oddly Head portraying a feared potentiality - a recognisable diminutive digit hovering over what we can assume to be the nuclear button.

Alter ego of British artist and graphic designer Tim Fishlock, Oddly Head delves into a contemporary anxiety about the repercussions of a president who indulges his appetite for both distraction and destruction. He also shines a light on the 62 people who together own as much wealth as the poorer half of the world's population with his second new print The End .

Featuring a plump archetypal businessman repeated looking quite pleased with himself, Oddly Head presents his disdain for billionaire old white men.

As Fishlock says, "Old white billionaires have secured for themselves an unassailable position in Western society. We've been here before. This kind of irreversible concentration of wealth at the top of the economic pyramid was one of the root causes of the fall of the Roman Empire. We are witnessing the end game of capitalism. What happens next is anyone's guess. "

Highlighted in his new collection of repetitive ’ME’ pieces, the artist discusses our uneasy relationship with technology and how we are being subjugated by our own invention.

It’s not all doom and gloom in the world of Oddly Head though. Light relief comes in the form of another new work titled 99 Problems. He has cunningly cast a dropped 99 ice cream in plaster and has been decorating the streets of London with this irreverent artwork. These limited edition cones cast in various colours will be on sale at the Private View, launched alongside an ice cream truck giving out refreshing summer snacks.

Hand-cast, and available in various colours and flavours, anyone can purchase one of these cones by an artist celebrated for his captivating, humorous work influenced by popular culture and street art.

It has also been rumoured that he will soon be taking on London's West-End. Hang-Up will be keeping a keen eye out for any of the artist's work popping up around the area and will be documenting any activity.
