my hero

Artist Gary Cartwright, (Manchester's own popular Britartist) exhibits portraits of heroes and heroines from the worlds of fashion, music, TV, film and sport in his new show, Icons. Paintings include Vera Duckworth, Eric Cantona, Rock Hudson, Diana Ross, John Lennon and Viviene Westwood. The Icons exhibition raises money for the George House Trust to fund the local organisation's programme helping children affected by HIV.
Icons opened at Manchester's Piranha Bar and has now moved to Spirit in Canal Street where it runs until December. The opening night was highly successful and Cartwright has received a lot of portrait commissions for Christmas. Further information from: press@ght.org.uk
