He showed extensively in a variety of different galleries in 1970s: in 1972 and 1974 he held solo shows at ICA, in 1975 at Belfast Arts Council Gallery, in 1977 at Northern Arts Gallery and many others. In the 1990s and 2000 he showed, amongst others, at Dean Clough, Bluecoat Gallery and Courtauld Institute Gallery.
