A new solo show by Harley Weir opens at Hannah Barry Gallery, bringing a visceral mix of vulnerability and chaos to South London’s art crowd

Last Wednesday in Peckham, Harley Weir’s ‘The Garden’ cracked open at Hannah Barry Gallery. Equal parts tender and twisted, the show dives headfirst into Weir’s world – flesh, flash, and all the bits in between. We sent photographer Jay Izzard down to catch the action (and the angles), shooting everything that moved and a few things that didn’t. Were you papped?
