We are proud to announce a collaborative exhibition, 'Cruise Control', featuring the works of Jealous artists Tom Adams and Bench Allen.

For the first time ever, Adams and Allen have come together over their joint passion for the joys of vehicles, both in air and on land. With over 20 years of combined printing experience, let them transport you to a world of fast cars, jet setting, and the wonders of transport technology, all presented through a multitude of screenprinting techniques. Featuring a selection of never seen before artworks, as well as re-releases of some of the artists’ most popular editions, with a unique ‘Cruise Control’ twist.

‘Cruise Control’ showcases Adams’ love for automobilia, inspired initially by his father’s impressive collection of vehicles that left a lasting impact on him during his childhood. His passions are translated into a refined body of screenprinted artwork, focusing on the appreciation of vehicle shape, form and clean lines, paired with Adams’ distinctive aesthetic, producing highly enticing artwork

Feast your eyes on Allen’s first ten Avian prints, exhibited together for the very first time since their release, and the unveiling of a brand-new edition to the Avian collection.

Bench Allen
Bench Allen is a London based printmaker and illustrator hailing from the Ocean City of Plymouth. Known for encyclopaedic documentation of the world around him and his love for natural history. His work is inspired by the beauty of the natural and unnatural world - from the Mariana Trench to the Crab Nebula.

Tom Adams
Originally from Kent, Tom moved to London to Study Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts in 2010. He spent his degree veering away from digital design and preferring to create work by hand, predominantly screen printing. His work combines found imagery with a carefully considered colour palette and his keen eye for typography to produce striking screen printed artworks.
