The name “B-12 Module” is a response to a “vague memory of a written concept in a 1950’s Science Fiction short story about an Expedition to Pluto”; whose theme of deep space exploration is beautifully captured by Mark Charlton’s first solo exhibition. From his apparent dislike of sharp edges on his paintings to the screen printing throughout his pieces, Charlton explores this theme with a freedom found in new artists.
