The Olympics complete this weekend every bit does "Picturing Britain" - the particular exhibition past times the Royal Watercolour Society at the Bankside Gallery.
I'd planned to run across this exhibition when it opened nevertheless what I hadn't planned on was existence side-swiped for the terminal 2 weeks past times excruciating hurting from a trapped nervus inwards my shoulder together with arm. (Medication together with therapy is straightaway making trips out possible again!)
Paintings inwards the exhibition
I know that websites can't ever bring what a paradigm looks similar inwards existent life - but on the footing of the slideshow, the paintings which I liked best were past times Richard Bawden, Peter Quinn together with Mark Raggett. I know all the Olympic sites painted past times Mark from the Greenway, the paths past times the rivers and Stratford together with he's caught the patch they were inwards for a long fourth dimension rattling good indeed. 149 Days to Go, Trafalgar Square is an first-class rendition past times Peter Quinn of the atmosphere inwards Trafalgar Square on a winter's Evening. Richard Bawden's painting of Gloriana Approaching Hungerford Bridge is ane of the best of those executed to tape the Jubilee Celebration.
What I honor actually rattling strange most the paintings on the website is the bias towards what appears to me to hold out a 'faux naive' style. Why has Martin Leman of a abrupt decided to pigment similar Alfred Wallis? Very odd. To my mind, at that spot merely seems to hold out rather likewise much inwards a naive means together with rather likewise few paintings past times artists demonstrating skills inwards draughtsmanship together with the might to use the total hit of characteristics of watercolour paint. I believe the latter is what prompts people brand trips to run across exhibitions at the Bankside Gallery.
The occupation alongside 'faux naieve' is that it tin tend to brand a commercial gallery website hold back no improve than ane which hosts the amateur fine art of a provincial fine art social club - together with that inwards my sense of viewing numerous exhibitions is thence ever reflected inwards sales.
I'm hoping to run across the exhibition afterwards today together with volition study dorsum alongside an update. I'll hold out paying detail attending to the hit of styles, the skills demonstrated together with the quantity of blood-red spots! I'm also going to endeavour together with response the questions 'Is this the best the RWS tin do'?
Watch this infinite for an update.
In this historic yr the Royal Watercolour Society presents a celebration of all things British. Come together with run across how RWS artists select been inspired past times the various events of 2012, from the Thames Jubilee Pageant to the London Olympic Games.
