I’m sure many of you will have been following the Matthew’s Yard story over the last few years. This great local bar/cafe/arts hub/work space has had to move due to the redevelopment of their previous site. Finding a new venue in central Croydon has been no mean feat but they have managed it and the new site will be in the old Maplan building at West Croydon.
This is great news for all of Croydon’s art’s community and I am very happy indeed that the all new Matthew’s Yard will be hosting some of my Croydon paintings for their first few months.
Last week was pretty hectic with the launch of ‘Street Scene Croydon’ at the wonderful Cafe Adagio. When the rush was over I sat down for a chat about the exhibition, life at Stanley Halls, future plans and inspirations with Janet Smith from the Croydon Radio Arts show. Here is the link.
The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton works hard to provide a positive and encouraging environment for patients and visitors. They have a very active art programme including a rolling exhibition in the Cherry Tree Restaurant and Café area. From Feb to May the Croydon Art Society will have work on display and I’m very pleased to have two pieces included.
Following the good reception to my last exhibition in March I will again be showing at the Click Clock Gallery. This time the paintings will be up for the whole month of December and there will be more of them with a whole wall in the back section of the Cafe dedicated to my work. A great place to find a Christmas present for the art lover in your life….. or just for yourself.
Croydon on Canvas is my first solo exhibition and features 19 original paintings of everyday life in Croydon. I’m particularly happy to be holding this exhibition at Matthews Yard, just off Surrey Street which is one of my favourite subjects.
During August I will be holding my first solo exhibition in the new gallery space at Matthews Yard, just off Surrey Street in Croydon. The exhibition ‘Croydon on Canvas’ will include some new pictures like ‘Dreamers Crossing’, a view of the Park Hill Water Tower from Dingwall Road as well as some old favourites like ‘Heading Home’, ‘Church Street’ and ‘Travelling’.
The exhibition will be up from the 7th to the 31stst Aug 10am to 10pm Tue to Sun.
