From June 10th, the gallery has invited 'Godfather of the graphic art scene' Anthony Burrill, to curate a month-long solo show entitled 'Clear Your Head Every Day'. Best known for his woodblock prints of uplifting and thoughtful slogans, Burrill was also the artist in residence at Somerset House's Pick Me Up graphic art fair earlier this year.

'Clear Your Head Every Day' will include a collection of 30 new, small-scale limited edition prints and neon artworks created exclusively for the show, as well as collaborations with both internationally acclaimed furniture designer Michael Marriott and the sculptor Wilfrid Wood. There will be live workshops taking place and the gallery space and windows will be re-designed by Burrill and Marriott for the show; each piece will be for sale (prices from £30 - £300).

Burrill says, 'Clear Your Head Every Day' is a show very much in the spirit of an open studio following on from Pick Me Up. Everything shown is based around a theme of positivity and as the title suggests, is about an antidote to stressful, city life.

Burrill's up-beat work has been commissioned by everyone from Tate Modern to Colette in Paris and his prints, with slogans such as 'Work Hard and Be Nice to People', have become mantras for the design community and beyond. Burrill regularly collaborates with musicians and animators to make films, music promos and animations. He recently created a series of posters with political messages for the British Library and has produced adverts for London Underground and the Economist.

Outline Editions is situated on Soho's Berwick Street Market in a former second-hand record store; Kate Moross, Noma Bar, Klaus Haapaniemi, Beyond the Valley, David Foldvari, Patrick Thomas and HelloVon are among a roll-call of artists whose works can be bought here. The gallery commissions works from all artists featured and much of the ongoing shop content is exclusive and sold via the gallery and website: www.outline-editions.co.uk
