Thanks for the notification rosac, much appreciated, liking this.

Looks good. Reminds me a bit of Donwood, early Radiohead, dystopian landscapes etc.

‘Made from Deptford’ is Steve Burden’s fourth solo show where he uses the Pepys Estate in Deptford, south London as the core subject and foundation for his paintings. Born in Greenwich, London and inspired by his own experiences growing up on the Pepys Estate, his paintings investigate dystopian themes and ideas associated with British housing estates. Burden is interested in exploring the social issues that arose from the creation of this estate – security, isolation and control – as well as its design and architecture, and the history of the site. This exhibition examines the estates past, present and future via a selection of several works that include painting and three-dimensional elements.

Im sure that he won an award a year or so back, real gritty stuff, i was brought up a stones throw from pepys......

Burden won the Black Swan Arts Open Prize with 'Abattoir', which i particularity enjoy. 

You might have seen it exhibited in the Bristol museum....
