This exhibition presents more than 60 years of paintings, prints and drawings by Adrian Bartlett.

His work is widely represented in international public and private collections, including the British Museum. He studied at Camberwell School of Art and the University of Durham and was active among the group of artists who from the 1960’s promoted artists’ original prints as a unique and accessible art form to a wider public. He served as Chairman of the Printmakers’ Council and President of the London Group and was a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers.

Acute observation and drawing are the essence of his etchings, lithography, and woodcuts, combining technical inventions and skill with a deep respect for the artist masters of the past.

Sunlight, movement, and the transparency of colour are integral to his images. We see people walking, cycling, and running in urban scenes, while other images reflect Greek life, landscape and myth, and the drama of the sea.
