Not a Postcard Safari is the first solo exhibition of Ranulph Steiger, Ruth Smith Gallery's inaugural artist in residence.

About

Not a Postcard Safari is the first solo exhibition of Ranulph Steiger, our inaugural artist in residence. The works, painted whilst on the residency, explore his own experiences of growing up in Zimbabwe. The pencil and egg tempera paintings seem ambiguous, sometimes surprising, and defy being tidied into a neat pile of safari holiday snaps. Instead, they speak of the authentic experiences of living in Africa and seeing the safari through the eyes of those working there. Many paintings work with the baggage that viewers bring to looking at the work of art, but Ranulph’s paintings challenge the viewer to leave that baggage behind and to just look.
