Beardsmore Gallery Exhibition: medium and small oil paintings, charcoals, ink & wash drawings, sketches and sketchbooks. » View images from the Beardsmore Gallery exhibition Opening hours: 'It begins with drawings. In ink, charcoal, but mostly pencil, there are dozens - hundreds - of figures, isolated and enthroned, milling around in groups, standing gorgeously costumed or anonymously smudged and casual... When the rehearsal period was over and the plays were ready for the stage, she could have stacked up her sketchbooks and declared the project complete. The paintings, in a sense, are another story. As they step into the spotlight, the figures in her ten large canvases emerge not from darkened recesses upstage but from the hours and layers of their creation in Wright's studio. In place of the rank poetic pheromones of power-play and butchery emitted by Richard II or the Henry VI trilogy, the beguiling reek of turps and oil paint tells you that these paintings are not some kind of secondary record of speeches heard or passing action seen; they are objects made to be contemplated in their own right' |
