Haunch of Venison presents 'Various Arrangements' an exhibition of new works by British artist Jamie Shovlin.

This exhibition will present a series of seventeen new large-scale paintings based on the cover designs of the Fontana Modern Masters series, a set of pocket guides published in the 1970s on eminent writers, philosophers and thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, Franz Kafka and Marcel Proust.

The paintings in this exhibition represent titles that were scheduled for publication but for unknown reasons did not appear. Driven by a fascination of the ambition and appearance of the Fontana series, and a longstanding interest in typography and graphic design, Shovlin devised a system - set out in a colour wheel - that would allow him to produce paintings of each of these unpublished and unknown book covers.

'Jamie Shovlin: Various Arrangements' is at Haunch of Venison, 103 New Bond Street.

Haunch of Venison London presents a solo exhibition of Scottish artist Katie Paterson and the UK premiere of her project '100 Billion Suns', Venice. Katie Paterson strives to communicate unimaginably large or distant occurrences in nature or the universe, transforming them through the medium of everyday objects or materials and reducing them to a human scale. Her projects make use of sophisticated technologies, from satellites to telescopes, and specialist expertise of a range of scientists to stage intimate, poetic and philosophical engagements with nature,ecology, geology and cosmology.
