In case you missed its brief run at the artist’s personal gallery in Saffron Walden, Heath Kane’s Richer Than Batman exhibition will be showing at The Electric Gallery in London right up until 18 November.
Encapsulating a wider narrative concerning wealth, the exhibition is a visual representation of public responses to the question: if you were 400 times richer, what would you do and how would it make you feel? The answers come from people of all walks of life, opening up a conversation about the disparity of wealth, specifically in relation to the fact that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is now 400 times richer than the Queen – a feat that would take someone on an average salary over 2000 years.
Every piece in the exhibition incorporates a different quotation and is an original piece of art, each depicting the queen’s face masked in some way. All of the original pieces and new limited-edition prints are available for purchase, and a percentage of each sale will be donated to the Single Homeless Project, which aids in preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing and being a voice for change.
