RISK
Risk
Bankside Gallery | until 4th November
Anything the hand does in making a painting is subject to slippage. Even that most laborious business of tracing a drawing onto paper to fill it in might involve a slip, a smudge, an incoherent line. People talk about improvisation and invention and happy accidents and deliberate mistakes when they talk about painting, and what they’re talking about is this gap between eye, hand and materials. Painting’s a risky business!

In the Platinum Jubilee Year of their Patron, artists of the Royal Watercolour Society take a look back over the last 70 years. From the personal events of their own lives, to the greater goings on around the globe, this exhibition will serve as a reflection on this significant period in history, as well as a celebration of HM The Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
RWS AUTUMN: Art in the time of Corona
‘This latest display of artworks by the Royal Watercolour Society will delve into the challenges encountered by each artist during the Coronavirus lockdown. These extraordinary circumstances have meant that many artists have not been able to create in their usual media, and so for one time only we are excited to deliver an exhibition of Royal Watercolour Society artists, in all media.’
I have four works in the show. These are from a group of works that were languishing unfinished in my studio. Under a lockdown spring-clean I felt it was time to finish them.
On now 2 – 31 October 2020

Past, Present & Future of the Royal Watercolour Society
The RWS has a rich and fascinating history and our Archive & Collection comprising artworks and documents associated with its artists since the formation of the Society in 1804, demonstrates this.
For the first time, paintings, letters, photographs and countless other forms of historic ephemera will go on display in an exhibition at Bankside Gallery to raise awareness of the importance of the Royal Watercolour Society to the past, present and future of British art.
Accompanying this will be an auction of works by contemporary members and a secret postcard sale of works by countless influential British artists. All proceeds from sales will facilitate the renovation of the new RWS gallery space at Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square.
