A giant sculpture of Boris Johnson made from 6,277 pages of newsprint collected during the pandemic is set to go on show in a major new Mayfair exhibition.
Mohamed’s ‘old news’ sculpture has been selected to sit alongside works by 24 other artists whose pieces show a creative response to the Covid-19 isolation period.
More than 1,000 artists responded to the call for submissions, with an Old Masters style painting of loo roll and pasta and a hyperreal nurse painting also selected.
The artworks will be on show at Mayfair’s prestigious JD Malat Gallery from 1-8 July in Isolation Mastered.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
