At The National Portrait Gallery

At The National Portrait Gallery

We are pleased to announce that Morgan Howell FRSA @supersizeart painted sculpture of Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 45RPM single has been selected to hang on the hallowed walls of London’s National Portrait Gallery
The artwork is now on display in the renovated gallery’s Weston Wing.
The piece is a commission for @daisygreencollection restauranteurs @prue_freeman and Tom Onions and the painting can be found at their lower ground floor bar and restaurant Larry’s at the gallery.
The National Portrait Gallery was launched in 1896 and after a £41.3m revamp it reopened last week with a spectacular new entrance designed by artist @traceyeminstudio and a photographic exhibition by @paulmccartney is set to be unveiled.
Morgan’s spectacular giant paintings have been seen around the world, at London’s @royalacademyarts and are on permanent show at the @bbc headquarters and @barbicancentre in the capital. Uniquely, he has also exhibited at London’s Royal Automobile Club, and the @isleofwightfest and @sxsw festivals.
