Stanley Donwood shows linocuts of a ruined London at Lazarides
Stanley Donwood is to put on his first solo exhibition, “London Views”, at Lazarides on Greek Street from 19 May. It runs for a month. Donwood has made Radiohead's sleeves and posters since 1994, when his first job for them was the My Iron Lung EP, and he and Thom Yorke won a Grammy for Best Recording Package in 2002 for the special edition of Amnesiac.
The show is 13 prints of present-day London laid waste, each a panorama seen from the Thames. Big Ben, Canary Wharf and the dome of St Paul's are all in ruins. Donwood cut every one into linoleum himself, with a single small tool.
