Former vocalist with anarcho-punk band Flux of Pink Indians, Colin Latter brings his latest exhibition Proto-Type to Otley for a month-long exhibition at UpCo from September 12.

Born in Islington in 1961, Latter discovered painting as a teenager and has carried it alongside a career in furniture-making and design. His work has always had a strong visual thread, from creating fanzines and record sleeves in the punk scene through to his richly coloured paintings today.

Often drawn to interiors, everyday objects and the overlooked details of domestic life, he paints with an eye for the past and the way it lingers in the present. Obsolete typewriters, worn staircases, and the textures of old artist materials all become part of his visual language—familiar yet slightly uncanny, nostalgic yet inventive.
