Proto-Type Painting Exhibition by Colin Latter

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.

In a 21st Century world where connection and identity have become abstract concepts associated with nationhood and ideology rather than humanity, how do we reconnect with the essence of what it means to be human?
