Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood will return to TIN MAN ART, with a series of all-new works for The Crow Flies: part two. The exhibition will take place at 4 Cromwell Place from 6-10 December 2023. ““I’m a big fan of imaginary maps. I feel that with painting I’m always fighting against telling a story. And then it just happens anyway.” Thom Yorke said.
The new show will exclusively showcase for the first time the new album artwork for The Smile’s just-announced sophomore album Wall of Eyes, which will be released on 26 January 2024 – a follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed debut album, A Light For Attracting Attention.
The Smile are a trio comprising Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, together with jazz drummer Tom Skinner. The band’s name was taken from Ted Hughes’s seminal poetry collection Crow, which has also inspired the title of the exhibitions.
Now, Yorke and Donwood will continue the visual journey they revealed at TIN MAN ART in September with 13 new works, including large-scale paintings, drawings and a woven tapestry.
