Thick. And fast. There are no other words to describe it. Two exhibitions – one of cycling photos, the other of cycling-inspired paintings – come to Clerkenwell next week.
First off is James Straffon’s first solo show, at the Frameless Gallery on Clerkenwell Green. We featured him before, when he was exhibiting at the Paul Smith shop conveniently(?!) located in Terminal 5 departure lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport. So for those of you not international jet-setting, this will be a good chance to catch his images inspired by classic road racing. The exhibition runs from 1 until 7 November.
Geoff Waugh, meanwhile, is exhibiting his photos at Look Mum No Hands bike cafe on Old Street, from 5 November. Entitled Selectism, he will be showing, among other things, photos of the UCI MTB World cup. He’s renowned for his craft, a five-time award winner at the Sport Photographer of the Year Awards, so come check him out any time during the month.
