Silent Auction of the artwork on artilllery shells.

Author and film-maker Phil Strongman spent much of the 1970s, '80s & '90s photographing fashion and youth cults in London as well as capturing the musicians and artists who were struggling to break through - although photos were then a hobby Phil's work appeared in the Evening Standard, Vox, The Face and iD. A book about his years as a teenage designer, 'Acme BOY', will appear in Spring 2025 but a few draft copies will be for sale on the night.

In Ukraine the struggle for freedom - artistic and political - has morphed into a deadly war against Russian aggression. Talented Ukrainian artist Tetyana Frey encapsulates these dramatic times with unique art objects which are actually created from the artillery shells used to attack her homeland. This is her first West End exhibition.
