BankStArts Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Gary Jenkinson-Graham & Bank Street Arts bring you... NO LAUGHING MATTER Open evening: Thursday 8th October 6pm until 9pm Exhibition runs: October 6th - October 31st, 2009 Sheffield Telegraph cartoonist, Gary, has been persuaded to show his face for the first time as part of Grin Up North 2009. In fact, he has been persuaded to show many of his faces on the understanding that the one he wears every day stays well and truly hidden. There can’t be too many exhibitions where the artist actually hopes that viewers will laugh at his (or her) work. But this is one such. No Laughing Matter covers nearly seventeen years of editorial cartoons by Gary from The Sheffield Telegraph, from 1993 to 2009. This is the first ever exhibition of Gary’s work and includes cartoons not seen in public before, as well as work created specially for this exhibition at Bank Street Arts. Witty, urbane, incisive and thoughtful - these are all interesting words, but you won’t find them in this exhibition! Public transport, the economy, politicians, the education system, banks, floods, the world cup, justice, street lights, presidents and electricity bills - if you hate them or really hate them, they’re all here!
