"Titled Press Play, this show has been born out of the duo's massively successful Game On! image released early 2015. The show reflects on the sub-culture of gaming and how since its inception in the mid-twentieth century it has carved for itself its own sub-culture and global following, which now has far reaching influences. The new work and exhibition also reflects back on how these early graphics have come to influence and inspire contemporary design." (Lawrence Alkin Gallery)

STATIC is the creative output of London-based image makers Tom Jackson and Craig Evans who have been producing limited editions and original works in house and by hand since 2006. Their work is known for its blend of graphic and patterned imagery created through a combination of screen printing and mixed media techniques. STATIC’s work is constructed from found visual imagery as well as symbols and signifiers from modern culture which they continue to apply to a wide range of surfaces, including wood, metal, perspex and glass.
