Weapon of Choice present:
'DIRTY LAUNDRY' a solo
show from Mick Hockney

Opening preview 19th Feb, 6-10pm at the WoC Gallery. Drinks provided

Weapon of Choice Gallery presents Dirty Laundry, an exhibition of recent artwork by Mick Hockney.
His work is a response to a year of rolling news, from politics to climate change, from corporate
stupidity to prejudice. Instead of hurling a brick at the TV, he aims his brush at a range of targets,
attacking hubris with humour. He has developed a direct graphic style that makes use of hand cut
stencils, flat colour and freehand painting. Mick airs his Dirty Laundry in public from 19th February
at WOC.

Show runs until the 21st March 2010

Mick Hockney – Biography:
Mick was born in the Fens of Cambridgeshire. In his late teens he packed his paints and pencils
and left to study at various art colleges across the land, eventually settling in London where he
joined the creative bedlam that was Spitting Image. After several years he moved on and
headed west to Bristol to work in the world of Animation. A few years ago he decided to
concentrate on his own artwork using images and ideas to highlight an array of social issues
from politics to the environment, leavened with a healthy dose of irony and a dash of
gallows humour. After a hard day at the easel Mick enjoys nothing more than kicking back
with his pipe and listening to his sublime collection of free jazz and Captain Beefheart records.
