North Korea's embassy held an art exhibition and this is what it looked like

The North Korean embassy in the UK has held its first-ever, and possibly last, art exhibition.

Whereas most embassies in the capital are situated in the Belgravia-Knightsbridge-Kensington triangle, Pyongyang's mission is in a suburban street in Ealing, west London.

Curator David Heather convinced the embassy to host an exhibition of artwork by North Korean artists apparently inspired by British culture.

I had a dream of people queuing up around the street.

So without further ado, here are the (apparently all male) artists, and their paintings.

• Jon Pyong Jin

• Hun Kim

• Song Jae Ho

• Hong Song Il

It's thought that the converted suburban detached property, bought for around £1.7million in 2003, was favoured as it's only 30 minutes from Heathrow Airport should embassy officials ever need to make a quick getaway.
