Here’s what to expect from Grant’s exhibition in the words of the artist himself:

Words or pictures, when viewed in isolation, often only tell one half of a story.

As a graphic artist, book illustrator, Creative Director of a leading design consultancy and an avid reader, the importance of combining imagery and words has never been lost on me.
