JOHN BIRD - Travels with an Artist
This exhibition, staged to coincide with the launch of the first ever book on the ‘angry young man’ John Bratby brings together work that ranges from his early ‘kitchen sink’ years through to the final years submerged with Patti in the splendour of Venice The show represents the continued reappraisal and re-discovery of one of Britain’s great post second world war painters whose fame and renown in the fifties and sixties is matched only by the obscurity and fall from grace that followed. The works selected illustrate Bratby’s passion for painting and his exuberant use of colour, with the oil paint forced out of the tubes with great bursts of energy. The event also hosts the book launch of ‘BRATBY’ by Peter Davies who will be present to sign copies of his new book on the opening night. The gallery is also hosting a lecture by Davies where he will be discussing ‘John Bratby the Opportunist’ on Sunday 17 November at 3pm admission free. A further press release will give details of the press day that the gallery is holding in the run up to this important exhibition. However if you require any information or would like a review copy of the book please contact us at the gallery.
