Paul Simonon (The Clash) to open new art exhibit

Paul Simonon of The Clash will open a new art exhibit near the end of January. The exhibit is called Wot No Bike. The exhibit is a series of paintings showing Simonon’s personal effects, many bike related, including biker jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, cigarette packets and books.

A press release states, “The paintings are as much self-portraits as they are still lifes. 'Wot No Bike' is Simonon’s personal exploration of British subculture and counterculture in the post-war decades.” The exhibit opens January 21 and runs through February 6 at the London Institute for Contemporary Arts. Simonon is also releasing a book of prints to coincide with the exhibit.
