FOCUS OF BEN WESTWOOD EXHIBITION

Enfant terrible son of Dame Vivienne Westwood, Ben Westwood’s latest exhibition ‘Spawn:Bound’ at the Bodhi Gallery, Brick Lane from Thursday 28th May – Wednesday 10th June 2009 investigates the modern phenomenon of ‘famous children of the famous’, bound forever by the umbilical cord of their parent’s fame. Westwood, who spawns himself, examines Lily Allen, Pixie and Peaches Geldof, Leah Wood, Kimberley Stewart, Theodora Richards, Amber Le Bon, Stella McCartney, Jade and Elizabeth Jagger, to name but a few, who all have fame-derived and entangled up and ultimately held back by, the celebrity status bestowed upon them from their famous parents.
