James Joyce exhibition, London

If you've properly devoured your latest issue of Wallpaper* (W*110) you might have noticed the bold, eye-catching designs of London-based artist James Joyce, who illustrated our Chinese graffiti story (p 181). And if, like us, you're a fan, you'll want to know about Joyce's first solo exhibition, on this May at the Kemistry Gallery in London.

Since establishing his studio, One Fine Day, two years ago, Joyce has cultivated an impressive roster of commercial clients: names like Levi's, Penguin Books, Orange and Kiehl's, among others. His latest work blends deceptively simple typography with strong colour and sleek geometry in a graphic language that is at once thought provoking and visually arresting.

A blank teardrop announces softly 'we're doomed' while an electric bulb with its filament bent into a curly 'yes' seems to cast things in a more positive light. If something really captures your imagination, consider adding it to your collection. The exhibition will feature a number of signed, limited edition screen prints available for purchase, which you can view in our gallery above.
