Fat-Bottomed Girls

Mobile Home, London

Julie Verhoeven

Mobile Home is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new drawings by Julie Verhoeven.

In Fat-Bottomed Girls, Verhoeven presents 40 drawings dedicated to her Top 40 pop songs. Mixing 60's and 70's imagery with a post-punk aesthetic - at once precious, funky and throwaway - Verhoeven illustrates her all time favourites, which include The Buzzcocks "Orgasm Addict", Olivia Newton John's "Xanadu", Roxy Music's "All I Want is You', and the Pointer Sister's "Slow Hand". Verhoeven, who was recently commissioned to do the set design for the Cacharel fashion show, will transform the gallery into a psychedelic grotto, with sexy wall drawings and trashy pop paraphernalia.

Julie Verhoeven is one of the country's leading illustrators and is a regular contributor to Self Service, Dazed & Confused, The Face and The Independent on Saturday. Her illustrations, designs and art direction have featured in both the fashion and music industries ­ from design consultancies with Martine Sitbon, Cacharel and Richard Tyler, to design and illustrative work for Mel G and Gloss, and co-directing a music video for Sugababes.

Verhoeven's most recent work includes designs for a limited edition of handbags and accessories for Louis Vuitton S/S 2002; set design on both the Cacharel S/S 2002 fashion show and their current advertising campaign, and collaborating with Peter Saville.

A colour catalogue "Fat-Bottomed Girls" will accompany the exhibition.

Preview: Friday 18th January 7-9pm
