RBA at Mall Galleries

Next Thursday 15 May the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) opens its 291st exhibition in London at the Mall Galleries near Trafalgar Square. This year it will be showcasing the art of Barbara Richardson RBA, who won the De Laszlo Medal last year. As you can see from Pots and Cherries, her technique is first class, although I must admit I regard still lifes as the least interesting of traditional genres. There will also be artworks by other leading painters, sculptors and printmakers plus students' work from the Astor College for the Arts. So the show promises to be an interesting mixed bag. Admission charges: the website doesn't have this information, but I assume the damage won't be much more than £2.50. Some of last year's exhibitions were free.
