Cathy's Art Diary

Small art fair held at the Garrison Church at Chelsea Barracks. It’s always nice to get to events at this converted church and the work looked good in the space. There was a nice selection of work and it went for quality rather than quantity. I spotted a nice Auberbach drawing, a Bridget Riley print, Picasso prints, a Tracey Emin and more. There was an interesting balance of paintings and sculpture. Pieces that caught my eye included this fun sculpture made of bone china cups and saucers and the portrait by Waldemar Lorentzon who I’d not come across before. Closed 29 June 2024    

Delightful exhibition at the Garrison Chapel of Watercolours by the Prince of Wales. These were clear, bright pictures seeming to favour sharp light conditions. They were arranged by place and most were dated in the corner where they were signed. Most were of British scenes with a lot of the Scottish Highlands and of areas around royal houses. I liked the way the mountains blended into the sky in some of them. My favourite was a square picture of Mount Athos and I loved the light in a picture of Chateau Barroux in Provence. It was also a nice opportunity to see inside the Garrison Chapel which is now a venue for the Prince’s Foundation and to take a look a look at the new development which surrounds it.
