No 20 proudly presents ECHOES a retrospective exhibition of Ian Emes – the Pink Floyd animator – that explores a body of work spanning over four decades including hand-drawn animation artwork produced in the 70s and 80s, personal drawings and paintings from then until now, and a multi-screen contemporary installation.
ECHOES is a unique opportunity for the audience to experience the full breadth of Emes’ artistic output, an invitation into the macrocosm of Emes, where figures in the space, perpetual motion and geometric environments intertwine freely and the unexpected is celebrated.
