Although he lives and works in rural Oxfordshire, Tobias Till's artistic heart clearly lies in London. The Central School and Royal Academy art graduate's first London solo show is a collection of large-scale lino cuts exploring aspects of the capital's sprawling skyline. Though the prints are predominantly aerial snapshots of familiar places — five-a-side football and flyovers in West Way, Fulham hawkers in North End Road Market — something about the expressionistic use of colour and densely packed vistas of quotidian life invoke a bloodline of urban commentary that runs through the work of Samuel Johnson, William Hogarth and LS Lowry.
