Charlie Pulford studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art in the late eighties where he shared a studio with Mariko Mori. He now works in a hostel for ex–squaddies earning nine pounds an hour sorting out their housing benefit problems.

‘World of Lipstick’ is an intimate soiree where you can pucker up your lips and paint them bright red, an arty dedication to decades of ladies leaving their lippy on gin glasses, porcelain teacups and fag ends.
