George Morton-Clark Taipei Solo Exhibition – Same Tomorrow As Yesterday
George Morton-Clark is a British artist whose work often features
the spirit of street art and pop imagery. Integrating the elements
of both eastern and western fashion trends, George’s art has been a

Basquiat, Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami and Damien Hirst.
Next year, he will also participate in Art Basel Hong Kong with many
top artists including Japanese contemporary art giant- Takashi
Murakami, colorblind artist Daniel Arsham and Portuguese artist

renowned for his gigantic carved murals. We are excited and honored
to announce that George is coming to Taipei to present his first
solo exhibition at Gin Huang Gallery on 18 May 2019. To celebrate
this
exhibition, we would like to cordially invite you to the opening
reception at the gallery on that day. With a limit of 30 pieces, an
