The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre in Chorlton, Manchester is proud to be hosting a unique selection of work by internationally renowned illustrator Stanley Chow.
This special exhibition will run from Thursday 15th February ~ Thursday 30th May 2024 and will showcase Stan’s personally curated collection of actors from the stage, film and television ~ several of whom are BAFTA, Emmy, Olivier & Academy Award winners! The exhibition will also include the three patrons of The Edge, Sir Mark Rylance, Julie Hesmondhalgh and John Thomson.
Since he started working as a professional artist nearly thirty years ago, Stan Chow has diversified into many areas within design and illustration, but he is best known for his distinctive portraiture of pop stars, actors, sports people and celebrities. This will be the first time Stan has focused his attention on a collection of work from film, stage and television, as he says: “I had a lot of fun looking through my back catalogue to find the images that would work in the lovely space offered to me at The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre and it’ll be the first time my design of Sir Mark Rylance will be shown in public.”
“We are thrilled to have such a local legend bringing his work to The Edge, and this exhibition promises to be a very special one, commented Janine Waters, Artistic Director of The Edge. “We are particularly excited to see Stan’s unique take on our patrons, alongside some other familiar faces. It is a privilege to have his work on show in our building in the heart of Chorlton.”
The exhibition will run until Thursday 30th May 2024 and all signed, framed prints on display will be available to purchase for anyone visiting The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre. To attend the opening night, please apply for tickets here:
