21 June to 21 August 2022, Royal Academy, Piccadilly, London
I am delighted to have been selected to show at the 2022 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Out of the 16,500 entries my large oil Golden Dawn Towards Tillington Monument, Petworth, was selected. Measuring 1.2m x 2m, I am hoping that it will make a splash on the walls of the Royal Academy!
In 2021, I was invited by Petworth House, National Trust, to paint their park and gardens. I was provided with unprecedented at times of day when access for the general public was prohibited. Visiting in the early morning over a period of months, I created a large body of sketches in watercolour and finished works in oil en plein air. My aim was to use these as the basis for a number of larger works in the studio. Golden Dawn Towards Tillington Monument, Petworth, was the result. The work captures the energy and mood of the rapidly changing early morning light in Petworth Park.
Please see the Royal Academy website for more details.
