There’s nothing like a name. As artist Marvin Gaye Chetwynd (currently on show at Sadie Coles), fka Spartacus Chetwynd, fka as Lali Chetwynd, understands. Thomas, for example, is a big name in the art world - particularly with Germans (Ruff, Scheibitz, Rehberger, Demand, Schutte, Bayrle). But this month is a chance for the Pauls, Paulos, Paulinas to shine.

PAUL KNEALE

London-based Canadian artist Paul Kneale is one of the co-founders of Library +, a great project space in a former book house in Rotherhithe. This is his first solo show on Hackney Road’s Andor gallery. 

PV March 14 6-9pm, Andor Gallery.

PAUL P

This is a big year for Paul P – with this solo show and an inclusion in this year’s Whitney Biennale. From intimate drawings, delicate abstract paintings and furniture works, Paul’s work often takes the starting point of historical gay subculture.

Showing until April 19, Broadway 1602, Whitney Biennale until May 25.

PAUL SHARITS
