PRESS RELEASE:
Private View: February 6, 2025 Open to Public: February 7 – March 16, 2025 Location: SQFT:Space Gallery, 95 Bell St, London NW1 6TL
SQFT:Space Gallery proudly presents Mr Gammon Draws, a multimedia exhibition celebrating a storied career that has seen him dress some of the most iconic figures in music, film and sport—such as Chris Hemsworth, Ed Sheeran, Andre 3000, Usain Bolt, Keira Knightly, The Rolling Stones and Blink-182
Mr Gammon Draws reveals a lesser-known side of the artist’s work. While his costume designs play a starring role in countless commercials, tv dramas and film, it’s his personal sketchbooks that have remained a constant source of inspiration and joy to him, documenting and celebrating his day to day observations in extraordinary ways.
Opening with a private view on February 6, 2025, the exhibition will be open to the public from February 7 to March 16, 2025, offering an intimate look at Mr Gammon’s celebrated sketchbooks and his vivid artistic process.
Mr Gammon’s sketchbooks, brimming with bold colours and unconventional palettes, chronicle his observations of everyday life. From fuchsia pink tones for commuters on the London Underground to elderly diners painted in amber hues, his drawings transform the ordinary into the extra ordinary. The exhibition is a celebration of freedom, creativity and imperfection—offering insight into the unrestrained artistry behind the meticulous planning of costume design.
“Sketching is an escape,” Mr Gammon shares. “It’s about freedom and the joy of simply putting pen to paper and capturing life as I see it. The work doesn’t need approval—it’s purely for the love of creating.”
Also on exhibition will be conceptual costume design sketches, offering an inspiring juxtaposition between his professional practice and personal artistic expression. Beyond his artistic output, Mr Gammon has also become a notable voice in the world of design and style. Recently he has engaged audiences through public speaking appearances, where he shares stories of designing fantastical monsters for Ed Sheeran and collaborating with icons like Grace Jones. He is also embracing social media offering sartorial advice and practical sewing tips gained from a lifetime in fashion. From extending the life of favourite jeans with visible mending to repurposing wardrobe staples, his tutorials emphasise sustainability and creativity.
