Private View Thursday, April 6th, 6 - 9 pm.
We are delighted to welcome back The Free Painters and Sculptors for their third exhibition at The Muse Gallery.
This exciting group of artists has enjoyed huge success with two London Ultra Exhibitions at the Bargehouse in 2018 and 2019 and includes award-winning artists from various countries.
Subtlety blends with vibrancy in this accomplished collection, where beauty interacts with thought-provoking. From a majestic Butterfly sculpture previously seen at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2018), through large statement canvases, sculptures, prints and drawings, to exquisite tiny ink studies on paper, there is a thoughtfulness and cohesiveness inherent in the exhibition.
The 20 exhibiting artists are Alexandra Harley, Caroline Cary, Dijana Bekalac, Gabriel Parfitt, Helen Twigge-Molecey, Henryk Terpilowski, Joanna Ciechanowska, Laura Obon, Leila Godden, Louisa Crispin, Malgorzata Lapsa-Malawska, Maria Kaleta, Michael Hempstead, Nicholas Cheeseman, Owen Legg, Peter Murry, Richard Heys, Rosalind Barker, Sally Ward, and Veronica van Eijk.
FPS is an established artist-led organisation that promotes and exhibits a talented international membership of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers and Photographers at renowned central London galleries and elsewhere once or twice a year.
With over 70 years of experience, FPS helps artists build long-term networks that develop artistic sustainability, exposure and sales, whilst also encouraging artists to create work on their own terms....and therefore be ‘free’.
Established in 1952, FPS was originally associated with the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts). Founding members featured many high profile and influential artists, including Roy Rasmussen, Lyall Watson and Maurice Jadot who all feature in the permanent Tate Collection.
FPS originally came to prominence by playing a significant part in the establishment of abstract art in the 1950’s and 60’s and were the first of a number of post war movements that freed artists from the orthodoxy of rigid and purely technical judgements.
This ethos continues today and we welcome applications from talented artists at all stages of their career.
