Former Stone Roses guitar player John Squire is to present a new nontextual matter and interracial media exhibition at SW1 Gallery in London this October.

"Music has been assign to one side for good," explained Squire, wHO first exhibited his artwork designing The Stone Roses' album sleeves. "I'm enjoying this [artistic creation] far also much to go back to music."
