On Thursday I had the privilege of attending Steve's (guest on Ep 137 of #diaryofakidneywarriorpodcast) solo exhibition Memento Vivere at London’s Crypt Gallery.
His art is not only powerful storytelling, but also advocacy.
🎧 Listen to his story here: kidneycareuk.org/get-support/... #artivism #CKD

First photo. A collage of four photos taken at Steve’s Memento Vivere exhibition at the Crypt Gallery. Top left: Steve and the podcast host smiling together, Steve has his arm around her. Top right: the host standing next to Steve’s painting of Iron Man with the caption “Very Low IRON, MAN!”. Bottom left: the host beside a comic-style painting of superheroes with the words “NO LIMITS”. Bottom right: Steve and the host standing in front of a dialysis warrior artwork with the words “Timely Manageable Haemo Dialysis”. The collage has the Instagram handle @diaryofakidneywarrior across the middle.

Second photo. A man and a woman stand together at the Crypt Gallery, smiling beside a painting depicting a superhero in green and purple armor with the title “Timely Manageable Haemo Dialysis.” The comic-style artwork includes the words “SLART COMICS.”

Third photo. A woman poses next to a painting of Iron Man with the words “Very Low IRON, MAN!” displayed in bright yellow text. The artwork is mounted on an old brick wall inside the Crypt Gallery.

Fourth photo. A woman stands beside a colourful painting on a brick wall at the Crypt Gallery exhibition. The artwork shows two superheroes — one resembling Superman with a “K” on his chest and another resembling Spiderman — with the words “NO LIMITS” painted boldly underneath.
