Overview

“Greenhalgh’s icons and images hit the retina like fireworks, but they also describe a lonely, frightening world, in which horror nestles up alongside happiness.” - Paul Greenhalgh, Director, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia. Bill Greenhalgh has had, at various times in his career, some incredible peaks and troughs, achieving notoriety in the noughties as the artist whose commission in the Hillingdon Hospital was boarded up because it allegedly gave one of the consultants a migraine. He has been busy ever since and has amassed a large body of work, most of which has not been seen outside his studio. twototen offers an opportunity to take a glimpse into his vibrant and anarchic world.
