Reproduction prints of paintings that were shown at the exhibition Billy Childish: This Is The Universe ... Big Isn't It? Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate, 26 April - 14 June 2026.
"For Billy Childish, painting is not an act of invention but of recognition giving form to something that precedes him. His paintings emerge from this position of receptivity, an openness to forces that are felt rather than constructed, which as a position challenges conventional ideas of artistic control and originality. If nothing is truly created or destroyed, then the act of painting becomes one of participation rather than production."
