David Inshaw: A Vision of Landscape
Beautiful exhibition at the Redfern Gallery of landscape paintings by David Inshaw. Inshaw started as a pop artist but moved into a more realistic style and joined the Brotherhood of Ruralism with Peter Blake. The pictures have a feeling of Paul Nash, lovely views which just edge into a surrealistic feel. He is best known for his picture “Badminton Game”, acquired by the Tate in 1971. I think I was partly drawn to these as a number of them showed the countryside I grew up in and I loved the picture shown here of Silbury Hill from the air. There was also a stunning picture of a bird flying over the Marlborough Downs. There was also a lovely set of large, meticulously drawn trees. Closed 29 November 2019
