Visual Arts Workshop with PiNS - Journeys Of Empire

About this event

Join artist PiNS to create a live artwork in response to the Journeys Of Empire.
Through this collaborative effort, we hope to learn & share more about the past, and how it has shaped our present.

Bhupinder Singh, professionally known as PiNS, is a mixed media human, artist, & educator for positive social change, based in London. With an extensive creative background spanning 15 years & attaining a Fashion with Business BA, PiNS has explored various application techniques in his work including textiles, fine art, graphic and installation design.

PiNS explores notions of mass-consumerism and the status of image through diverse motifs such as sneakers, donuts, lips and tea in a truly unique way. He manages to combine both tongue-in-cheek humour, guilty pleasures and social commentary on visual culture, obsessions and addictions.

Previous clients include YKK, National Archives UK, The Wilson Museum, Urban Outfitters and Clarks to name but a few. PINS artwork is now held in important art collections worldwide after successful solo exhibitions in Mayfair since 2012 and various mixed shows across the UK.

An official BT Artist for the London 2012 Olympic Games, PINS continues to push creative boundaries through personal work, as well as community and charity projects, helping people explore and develop their creativity.
