If the youth of the 1960’s and early 70’s owned ‘Love’ as a word that summed up their generation, then perhaps it could be said that ‘Like’ is the internet generation’s equivalent defining word of their time.

‘Like’ has become ubiquitous in recent years thanks to its use as the currency of popularity within social media platforms. It has become more than just a word; it has become an action, a reward, and an icon of sorts where status and ego are bolstered by the number of interactions or ‘likes’ earned by social media users.

The title of the exhibition, ‘100 Likes’, reflects the total number of pieces included in the show which comprises works arranged in various iterations and number groupings, appearing both as large-scale paintings and silkscreen prints.
