Flaxon Ptootch: new Joe Whitney show launches tonight

The multi-tasking artist, musician and photographer launches his month-long show at the gallery/salon with a party tonight

50-50

Now this is a good one. The legendary Kentish Town gallery-cum-salon have a major exhibition kicking off for a month from tonight, with a show entitled 50/50 by Joe Whitney.

Whitney is an artist, musician and photographer with work published, performed and exhibited across the globe. “My artwork (drawn, painted or digitally rendered) is entirely inspired by fleeting random ideas,” he says, perhaps not entirely helpfully. But we forgive him.

And he’s a busy bee too, with recent shows across the capital everywhere from Hackney Picturehouse to Proud. Check out his website for a full display of his Renaissance-man style multi-tasking (a roll call of everything from movie soundtracks to magazine photography).

And – of course – no-one needs an excuse to swing by Michael Ptootch’s iconic second Thursday-of-the-month soirées, with cocktail bar, secret garden, live music and eclectic K-Town crowd. And if that’s not enough, there’ll be a performance from – who else – Whitney’s band The Flaming Stars, too.

50/50 runs at Flaxon Ptootch, 237 Kentish Town Road, until October 9. Launch party tonight from 7pm.
