As Radiohead’s in-house creator since 1994, Donwood is most famous for creating the powerful, visual and political identity that is often associated with the British band.

Amongst the collection of paintings, etchings and screen prints to be shown, the exhibition will also display the last remaining original canvas from Donwood’s critically acclaimed ‘Hail to the Thief’ series.
