SWIMMING THROUGH A DIAMOND
ARTSHED GLAISDALE
5 August - 2 September 2023
This exhibition of work by Bridget Riley, Francesca Simon, Rachael Clewlow and Trevor Sutton brings together four British painters, who have established a distinct language of reductive geometrical abstraction, through which they engage with the fundamental nature of human perception.

Small is Beautiful XL at Flowers Gallery
SUMMER EXHIBITION 2022
ROYAL ACADEMY
21 June - 21 August 2022
Very pleased to have two paintings selected and hung in the Large Weston Room, co-curated by Níall McLaughlin RA (pointing to my paintings, second photo) and Rana Begum RA.
As the catalogue says, they ‘have combined significant works by architects and artists.’ McLaughlin adds, ‘we wanted to focus on a feeling of hope; that artists and designers can lead the argument for change’.
NORTHERN EUTIERRIA: SHORT FILM
Pleased to be featured in Northern Eutierria, a film released in three parts, about artists surviving lockdown in North Yorkshire. Click the link above for part 3, which focusses on Peter Coates and me (parts 1 and 2 available on YouTube). The film was commissioned by Ryedale Folk Museum. Leading artists Tessa Bunney, Peter Coates, Joe Cornish, Andy Goldsworthy, Peter Hicks and me talk to Kane Cunningham about how the pandemic has affected their relationships to landscape and to their work. The film was made by John Oxley.
With special thanks to Jennifer Smith, Director, Ryedale Folk Museum.
