A solo exhibition of paintings and drawings on the theme of exploration, at home and abroad
About
Discovery is the driving force behind Wendy Brooke-Smith’s third major solo exhibition of oil and acrylic paintings and charcoal drawings.
All the works reveal new territory for the artist: perhaps from personal travels and walking, or from 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 bear witness to the chaotic transience of the city’s jostling skyline, whereas Brooke-Smith’s striking mountainscapes and earthy Ridgeway works remind us of the essential permanence and continuity of the landscape beneath our feet: a reassuring counterbalance to our shrill and shifting times.
