National Gallery

Ive made drawings from the paintings at the National Gallery before, but on this visit I wanted to add some context by including the gallery space, the gallery assistants and visitors to the gallery. This approach also gave me the opportunity to look at the relationships between paintings hung side by side.

Brick Lane, East London, 2017, A5

The Grosvenor

FAIRWELL TO THE GROSVENOR, STOCKWELL.

I thought I’d mark the sad closing of the Grosvenor in Stockwell by posting a few drawings that I made there.

It’s a great old London pub of the kind that are getting rarer these days, I went there mainly for Club Integral, which was held in the back room and will have its final night there on Friday the 18th July.

Club Integral at the Grosvenor, Stockwell

Possibly the most varied, entertaining and unpredictable regular live music night that London has to offer, I heartily recommend that you get yourselves down to Club Integral.

The nights at the Grosvenor will end on July 18th, but it continues at The Others in Stoke Newington, and heres hoping they’ll find another South London venue before too long.

Many thanks to all concerned.
