Exhibition: Lawrence in Fitzrovia – Unveiling of the Marble Head

A pink marble bust of singer, songwriter and musician Lawrence, by sculptor Corin Johnson, is on show at The Fitzrovia Chapel from today.

Lawrence is a former resident of Cleveland Street in Fitzrovia, and has released over 20 albums with his groups Felt, Denim, Go Kart Mozart, and Mozart Estate.

Corin Johnson is a sculptor who has previously collaborated with musicians Nick Cave, Grace Jones, and James Johnston.

Johnson’s Portuguese pink marble sculpture of Lawrence with his distinctive visor and hood evokes a monk in contemplation, an urban rebel and a public figure in disguise.

The exhibition at The Fitzrovia Chapel is curated by Martin Green of Duovision Arts and local Soho Radio and will include a specially commissioned soundscape.
