Jamie Shovlin - Haunch of Venison

Jamie Shovlin, Derrida by Christopher Norris (Variation 3), 2011-12

Jamie Shovlin: Various Arrangements is at Haunch of Venison until 26 May.

The exhibition presents a series of seventeen large-scale paintings based on the cover designs of the Fontana Modern Masters series published in the 1970s. The paintings represent titles that were scheduled for publication but never appeared. Shovlin's elaborate methodology for producing the paintings is explained on the Haunch of Venison website.

Shovlin is an interesting artist whose previous projects have included the 'curation' of exhibitions of work by the missing schoolgirl Naomi V Jelish, and of the memorabilia of a German glam-rock band called Lustfaust. In both cases they were entirely the creation of Shovlin - though, he claimed on Front Row (18 April) that the band does now exist! Listen to the band here.
