Lee Johnson is project managing a solo show for Artist Lee Jones in the Mayor of London's 'East' festival in the East End of London between 5-10 March 2009. Jones will exhibit a series of specially commissioned Pop Art boxing paintings of stars such as James Degale and Amir Khan, alongside his 'Beyond Human' series of elite athletes.
Lee is also curating, project managing and promoting a solo exhibition for Lee Jones at The Arts Club in London’s Mayfair from 3-7 April 2009. The 'Beyond Human' series will be exhibited in this 2050 Sports.com exhibition.
‘Beyond Human’ is a series of paintings portraying elite athletes as superhuman beings, with the most finely tuned parts of the body morphing into Terminator-esque limbs. Athletes painted by Jones for the series include; Sir Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendleton, Usain Bolt, Steven Gerrard, Ricky Hatton, Daniel Ilabaca and Christine Ohuruogu. Prints of each painting signed by the athlete and the artist are available on 2050Sports.com with a percentage of proceeds going to the charities of the sportstar. The work of Lee Jones can be seen on his website: www.leejonesart.co.uk
