	Alex Mcquilkin
	Daniela Wolfer
	David Hancock	With an almost dispassionate sociological gaze, Hancock engages in the critical examination of contemporary subcultures, specifically Youth Culture and teenage rebellion. Influenced by gothic romanticism and pop culture he creates hyper-real paintings portraying his sitters’ personal spaces- at once a Bohemia and an everyday scene. He lives and works in Manchester and studied at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Hopwood Hall College, Rochdale. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 The Beautiful People, The Agency, London; I-Pod Killed the Video Star, Showroommama, Rotterdam. 2005 The Beautiful People, Leicester City Gallery.
