Sitting Room of His Home Watercolour by Richard Bawden 1997
Many of the artists in the Fry Gallery’s collection liked to fill their homes with interesting and decorative objects, as if their homes were an extension of their creative practice. This is one of the themes explored in our current exhibition Finding a Home at the Fry, curated by Ella Ravilious. July’s Work of the Month features in the exhibition, and is an example of just such a highly-curated personal space, depicting the sitting room of Richard Bawden’s house in Hadleigh.
If you enjoy this picture, you will have the opportunity to see more of Richard Bawden’s work in the exhibition Richard Bawden: The Hadleigh Years which opens in the Gibson Room at the Fry Gallery on Saturday 26th July. Some of the works in that exhibition will be on offer for sale.
Richard Bawden: The Hadleigh Years is in the Gibson Room at the Fry Art Gallery from Saturday 26th July until Sunday 26th October.
Finding a Home at the Fry continues in our main gallery until Sunday 26th October.
