AN art exhibition called The Plant Project opens at the Young Gallery on Saturday.
Guest curator for preSENSE, Prudence Maltby, has been studying woodland flora from Robin Tanner’s sketchbooks from the 1940s.
The concept for the The Plant Project exhibition was inspired by coming across these drawings in The Collection. Robin Tanner (1904-1988) was an English artist, etcher and printmaker .
Curated by Prudence Maltby, the show will feature works by Julia Atkinson, Julie Ayton, John Bellany, Catherine Bloomfield, Henny Burnett, Prunella Clough, Mat Collishaw, Michael Cullimore, Fran Donovan, Susan Francis, Dame Elisabeth Frink, Gary Hume, Caroline Hyman, Prudence Maltby, Linn O’Carroll, John Piper, Keith Rand, Peter Randall-Page, Eric Ravilious, Robin Tanner and Stephen Tennant.
Prudence has been documenting the progress of getting the exhibition together on a blog at theplantprojectblog.word press.com.
