Occupation Art historian and curator
Location Bristol, United Kingdom
Introduction I'm an art historian, curator and author with a leaning towards 20th/21st century British art and culture. My most recent exhibition 'Soutine | Kossoff' ran March-Sept 2023 at Hastings Contemporary. I'm a contributor to Margy Kinmonth's film 'Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War'. You can see details of previous shows such as 'Seafaring' (Hastings Contemporary, 2022); 'Extraordinary Everyday: The Art and Design of Eric Ravilious' (Arc Winchester, 2022) 'Seaside Modern: Art & Life on the Beach' (Hastings Contemporary, 2021) and 'Eric Ravilious; Downland Man' (Wiltshire Museum, 2021) on the Exhibitions page. Books, curiously enough, can be explored on the Books page. I'm always willing to consider a proposal for a book commission or exhibition. I've recently worked with Portland Gallery on Edward Seago, Towner on Peggy Angus and the Ingram Collection on three exhibitions, the most recent being 'Changing Times'.
