The show will run from 9 September 2023 to 14 January 2024 RWA, Queen's Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1PX

The Royal Academy London

I am delighted to share that my Lithograph ‘Where Are We Now’ (on somerset soft white 300gsm 60x49cms) is now at the summer show at The Royal Academy in London, in a fab room hung by @eileen_cooper_ra.

The exhibition is open from 13th June – 20th August 2023.

There are a few prints left to buy from a run of 25. Go see go see go see.

Many thanks to the brilliant @catherineadeartist for her patience, printing and plate skills @lemonadelitho in #Bristol.

So here is the story …… The hand printed lithograph (and the large painting of the same name) was inspired and is a homage to #artemisia Gentileschi’s ‘Judith and her Maidservant with the head of Holofernes’.c.1625

However Instead of Holofernes head in its wicker basket there is a mix of masks, bread, tampons, books, weapons and vaccines positioned in a supermarket basket: All a girl needs to survive in a ‘toxic’ environment….. eh! Judith and her servant Abra are transformed into Danielle (as Judith) and her friend my daughter Madeleine (as the servant Abra).

No Reserve @ Leicester Contemporary Discussion event: Saturday 23rd October

InFems art collective presents ‘No Reserve’ at Leicester Contemporary. Taking its cue from the adrenalin-fuelled atmosphere of the gallery site’s former life as an auction house, No Reserve is about not holding back, about the limitless, the performative and the theatrical, about extravagant gestures and trickster behaviour.

'Just Saying!' Solo Show @ Someth1ng London

15th May - 1st June / Meet the Artist Friday 17th May, 5 - 8pm

Rebecca Hinde at Someth1ng Gallery has chosen a set of paintings from Wendy Elia’s prolific ‘series’ of works, exploring female power, gender identity, ‘femininity’, mixed ethnicities and the state of ‘Britannia’ now. This ‘female gaze’ destabilises and confronts your voyeurism as the protagonists stare right back at you. Showing for he first time in London is the large painting 'Made In Britain' which as well as being a very personal painting of friends and family is also a work about immigration.

Westminster Arts Reference Library Gallery, London (off Leicester Square)

This exhibition marks the presentation of Wendy Elia’s major new figurative painting, A Dance to the Music of Time II. For the first time, her original A Dance to the Music of Time I (1990), will be seen with its pendant, A Dance to the Music of Time II, which revisits its protagonists almost 30 years later. Both works depict siblings Alexi and Madeleine, Elia’s children, engaged in introspective acts of movement and music-making in tilting rooms with dream-like vistas.
