‘Bags of Life’ An exhibition of Mik Artistik’s portraits
Come and experience a unique exhibition of paper bag portraits by Mik Artistik.
Mik is a well-known musician, poet and artist who has been creating his distinctive portraits on brown paper bags since the 1980s. This exhibition brings together a selection of his work, displayed in the welcoming setting of Armley Community Hub & Library.
“Back in January 1983, I drew my first paper bag portrait. I spotted these big brown bags on a bread shop counter and fell in love with them – their strength and their warmth. I decided everyone needed their own paper bag portrait, and I’d be the one to provide it.
