Some Curious New Sculpture...

Curwen Gallery welcomes artist Pierre Julien


Yesterday morning we were joined in the gallery by a very interesting new artist, Pierre Julien.
He very kindly showed us a selection of his new work (pictured above and below) which we will be showing, as a group, in our Christmas Show .As you may be able to see from the image above the animals are made from many hundreds of rolled up slices of newspaper (Metro!) , glued together to make a solid form.   

These works, as well as many others, will be shown in the gallery from 1-23rd December for the Christmas Show.Private view on 30th November .

Northern Graduates Opening

Our Northern Graduates '11 show opened last night and was an exciting event for all involved.
The show aims to represent the most interesting work from this years Fine Art BA graduates from the North of England. Henry Walsh,who worked for Curwen Gallery for 11 years, curated the show, choosing graduate work from the student shows of most of the major northern universities.

The private view was very well attended and we managed to sell a fair few works from a number of the fortunate graduates. It was great to meet many of the graduates and talk to them about their inspirations and future plans, as well as introduce them to our friends and clients.

ARCHITECTURE is a key subject for Albany Wiseman, whose latest one-man exhibition opens at the Curwen Gallery in Fitzrovia next week.


This street scene of Bow Street, Covent Garden, shows off the Royal Opera House to stunning effect, with its classical façade alongside the magnificent iron and glass Paul Hamlyn building, known as the Floral Hall....

Current Exhibitions

We currently have two exhibitions showing at the gallery.Downstairs we have a large retrospective solo show of Albany Wiseman and in the upstairs space, a smaller group show from Derek, Lawrence and Gerald Mynott.

Albany Wiseman, showing downstairs, has a remarkable selection of work from his many years as a practising artist.Albany works from life in oil, print and watercolour taking inspiration from towns and countrysides in which he has lived ;  England, Portugal, Ireland and France.

The Mynotts are a family of lithographic printers;the father Derek and two brothers,Lawrence and Gerald.The prints show two generations of quite similar working habits, focusing on figurative scenes from the artist's extensive travels.Stylistically all three relatives are quite close to each other with Derek and Gerald making carefully observed scenes of parks, gardens and landmarks and Lawrence producing slightly poppier still lifes.
