The East London Group : The Working Artist

29 Sep-17 Dec 2017

Overview

The East London Group returns to the Nunnery Gallery with a new collection of paintings, selected and curated by writer broadcaster Michael Rosen and radio producer film-maker Emma-Louise Williams. Working during the inter-war period, the East London Group of artists were made up of ordinary working men and women, attending art classes and exhibiting their paintings alongside their day jobs. With a focus on Albert Turpin, a leading figure in the anti-fascist movement, the works are a visual narrative of East End history and will be accompanied by a series of new public artworks, highlighting those working in east London today.
