In 1982 he was selected for Northern Young Contemporaries at the Whitworth Art Gallery. During the late 80s and 90s his paintings made direct stylistic references to early 20th century abstract painting whilst commenting on contemporary social issues and life. His work has been shown in Century City, Tate Modern (2001); and Sensation, Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY (2000) & Emily Tsingou Gallery, London (2002). His work is included in many collections including the MOMA, New York, University of Warwick, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the Arts Council, the British Council and the Saatchi Collection.
