“Looking through some folders of past work I came across a drawing I made in 1963, when I was sixteen years old. It gave me the idea for these two exhibitions. NOW&THEN span the years 1963 to 2026. The Bridewell Theatre Bar is suitable for smaller works. A series of prints, drawings, paintings and studies for larger works have been selected. They provide a snapshot of some of the various themes and processes which have engaged my attention over the last six decades.”
