Mark Ward ‘As Seen on TV’ exhibition

Illustrator Mark Ward is bringing his As Seen On TV exhibition to Kemistry Gallery on Charlotte Road, London EC2A from August 11 - 18.

The show gives a heavy nod to the nostalgic Americana and superficial images of the bright, shiny Californian lifestyle that Ward saw on the television as a kid.

Ward's work sees him combining the dreamy iconic visuals of sweet wrappers, varsity logos and kids cartoons with the banality of everyday suburban life in the UK.

It also coincides nicely with the launch of a new capsule collection with éS that includes four t-shirts, a jacket, cap and a special edition La Brea shoes.
