Our new exhibition offers a unique opportunity to view the work of leading figurative artists, both contemporary and historic.
The works in ‘Looking for Appearance‘ reflect the artists’ personal ideas and processes exploring visual appearances.
THG has secured important historic works from private collections, which are exhibited together for the first time. The internationally renowned artists include co-founders of the Euston Road School: Claude Rogers, Graham Bell, Victor Pasmore and Sir William Coldstream as well as Euan Uglow, Patrick George, Patrick Symons and Myles Murphy.
Our gallery’s namesake, Thelma Hulbert, was part of the Euston Road School alongside Coldstream and Rogers. A beautiful sketch of Hulbert by Sir William Coldstream makes its first public appearance since it was exhibited at the Tate gallery in London.
Alongside these historic works, the exhibition showcases works by 34 leading contemporary artists:
Robert Amesbury Brooks, Jill Barthorpe, James Bland, Claudia Carr, Peter Clossick, Alex Cree, Sarah Dancey, Robert Dukes, Mark Dunford, Anthony Eyton RA, Trevor Felcey, Ann Gardner, Georgia Georgallas, Judi Green, Ben Henriques, Kate Hopkins, Victoria Jinivizian, James Lloyd, Lisa Micklewright, Andy Pankhurst, Jane Patterson, Alex Pemberton, Ian Poulton, Daniel Preece, Melissa Scott-Miller, Daniel Shadbolt, David Shutt, Laura Smith, Sarah Spackman, Charlotte Verity, Kay Vinson, Jason Walker, Gregory Ward and David Woodcock.
The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 to 5 until 2 May.
