Friends of Dorothy are proud to present acclaimed artist and designer Smart Barnett's inaugural show at their gallery in Castlefield.

Showcasing his latest artworks alongside the largest collection of his work to date, Barnett draws inspiration from contemporary image cultures relating to online dating and web/screen based intimacy, and how these cultures have expanded the range and familiarity of erotic imagery.

A large mural comprising individual embroidery pieces will cover an entire gallery wall, some pieces of which were created exclusively for the Friends of Dorothy show. This will be accompanied by an immersive presentation of Smart’s work around the other areas of the gallery. Alongside these works, the artist has created a special limited edition series of homeware items, postcards and signed limited prints.
