Jeffery Camp : The Way to Beachy Head

20 Jul-2 Oct 2013

Overview

The exhibition marks the Royal Academician’s 90th year and celebrates a body of work inspired by the landscape of coastal Sussex, particularly the dramatic chalk coastline where the South Downs meets the sea. Over his prolific career, which has already spanned seven decades, Camp has established himself as one of the most accomplished British artists of his generation. He has been an RA since 1984 and had a major retrospective there in 1988. Art critic, Andrew Lambirth describes his paintings and drawings as ‘remarkably generous statements about the world, full of love and sensuality and a singular appreciation of beauty’.
