In his response to art history and the glory of art-superstars, James Clarkson, a Sheffield-based, 1987 born artist, transformed an old Citroen Picasso into a room-filling installation at Rod Barton Gallery. What a great idea, since Rod's gallery somewhat reminds of pimped garage. Clarkson's work for this exhibition has been inspired by Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1954 film Le Mystère Picasso, where Picasso paints on a transparent canvas.
