Anthony Whishaw RA: Memories and Experience - small works in conversation
Spanning seven decades of Anthony Whishaw's artistic practice, this display brings together groups of works centred around recurring themes that have consistently captivated the artist: movement, figures, nature, and the illusion of space.
In the studio, Whishaw arranges works of varying sizes and at various stages of development in close proximity, to foster a dialogue between them and guide them toward completion.
On show the Sir Hugh Casson Room and Belle Shenkman Room from 26 March 2024 - 18 August 2024.

"As I want to discover rather than copy or illustrate, the painting dictates its own future in the sense that I cannot work on it unless it suggests the next step. Often there are mental or emotional blocks and the work will remain dormant for weeks, sometimes months or even years. One strategy to overcome this is to shuffle the works around each other and between studios to meet up with other works. Frequently there is some cross-fertilisation of ideas and hybrids can form. As a result, I work on many paintings at varying scales and stages of resolution which may result in quite unexpected outcomes."
