'Be illuminated' Exhibtion By Papi

Roger Taylor affectionately known as ‘Papi’, is a self-taught artist working with the medium of light. He started his creative journey training as an actor in New York at Lee Strasbourg theatre institute where he studied his craft for several years. He then moved onto working as a creative director for some of New York’s hottest night clubs creating sets for their weekly shows.

In recent years Papi has moved to Manchester and set up his own design studio where he uses traditional tools and methods to hand sculpt metal and form a fusion light and art. He has also worked collaboratively with some well know street artists resulting in an international exhibition from London to Tokyo.

Papi has had numerous sell out shows in London over the last 2 years and the pieces that he creates are either one offs or limited to 7 pieces only. For 6 weeks at Lights of Soho, Papi’s creations will depict the vibrancy and the energies of the area, from the streets of Soho to the gallery and open to the public from Thursday 30th March.
