Richer Than
19 APRIL 2022 - 29 APRIL 2022, Ended 04:16 PM (UK time)A visual conversation on wealth and social contribution with contributions from Fearne Cotton, Kojey Radical, Feeder’s Grant Nicholas and more to raise vital funds for The Big Issue Foundation.
Richer Than will raise funds for The Big Issue Foundation through the timed auction of 50 exclusive pieces of art by Heath Kane. Each piece incorporates a quotation and perspective on wealth, contributed by a cross-section of society. Well known contributors include: Leigh Francis (tv presenter), Mike Soutar (The Apprentice), Kojey Radical (musician), Dave Buonaguidi (artist) and Katie Woods (influencer).
Richer Than is an extension of Heath Kane's Rich Enough to be Batman collection. Bold and subversive, the collection provokes questions about wealth and social contribution. The Queen is used throughout the collection as a symbol of wealth and is juxtaposed with the cowl of Batman. The cowl represents Batman’s role in doing good: he wasn’t superhuman, but instead his superpower was to use his wealth to give back to society.
"I hope the Richer Than exhibition raises questions about the current wealth divide. I want to encourage conversations about wealth and social justice through the idea that with enough money anyone can be a superhero.” Heath Kane.
