Townly Cooke

5 Apr-9 Apr 2017

Overview

Lewisham Arthouse Project Space will be hosting an exhibition of paintings by Townly Cooke (1949 - 2016), a long-standing member of the Lewisham Arthouse studios who sadly died in June last year. The exhibition will present a selection of Townly's last works, reflecting his preoccupations at the time of his untimely death. It will include the series of paintings Double Degas, a meditation on the 19th century French artist Townly particularly admired; Darkroom Tent, which poses questions about photography and reality; and on a more intimate scale, some sensitive drawings from his sketchbooks.
