Danny Pockets, painter, conceptual artist and curator, was a great figure and much respected in the underground, counter-cultural scene. In music as well as visual art, he was a player, performer and supporter. His publishing company, Universal Racket Press, dates back to his student days at Chelsea College of Art and the City and Guilds.
He was awarded a Jerwood Prize in 2010 for the exhibition 'Arcadia' and exhibited internationally, notably at La Biennale di Venezia. His work has been exhibited at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Albert Hall.
We are honoured to remember Danny Pockets and to take a moment to consider his paintings alongside those of his father Fred Cuming in our 2022 exhibition.
