Wendy Brooke-Smith : New Ground: Discoveries in Landscape

21 Nov-25 Nov 2017

Overview

Wendy Brooke-Smith’s third major solo exhibition of landscape paintings and drawings. All the works visit new territory for the artist, whether from personal travels and walking, or a newly-built vantage point of her favourite subject, the Thames. As well as her trademark urban landscapes, this wide-ranging show includes paintings of France, New Zealand and the ancient route of the Ridgeway. The London paintings address the chaotic transience of the city’s jostling skyline, while striking mountainscapes and earthy Ridgeway works suggest the essential permanence of the landscape beneath our feet: a reassuring counterbalance to these shifting times.
