Paul Stolper is pleased to announce 'The Wisdom Man', a group show that acknowledges Linton Kwesi Johnson as a pivotal and influential figure in contemporary poetry and culture.

The exhibition includes artists from several generations including Peter Blake, Grayson Perry & Ray Richardson.

“Let us sing and dance to the expression of the age-old ideals with LKJ, their principal exponent in poetry as song, poetry as public address, poetry as memory, poetry as chant, spell, mantra, prayer, agenda, list of priorities, sounding board, sauciness, curse, elegy, melody, summons, soul, funk, liturgy, conscience, guttural poetry, hymnal poetry, poetry that declaims, proclaims and inflames, poetry as agitation and cogitation” - Fred D’Aguiar 2001 Linton Kwesi Johnson Selected Poems
