We are happy to invite you to another Society evening at one of our favourite venues, the Coningsby Gallery in Fitzrovia, on Wednesday 22nd April. This promises to be a delightful way to wind down after work, mingling in this charming space with fellow Cambridge alumni whist enjoying some delicious bites and carefully chosen wine.
This time, we are delighted to present Root of the Madder, the debut solo exhibition by British artist Simon Middleton. Bringing together works on paper and oils on canvas developed over the last two years, the exhibition explores the space between inner states and the external world, drawing on myth, history, faith and lived experience. Middleton describes his approach as “emotional impressionism” – work that seeks to give form to thought, memory and feeling through an instinctive and expressive visual language. We are especially pleased that Simon will be with us on the evening. He will introduce his work at the beginning of the evening and offer everyone the opportunity to hear about the ideas and experiences shaping this powerful body of work. For a sneak peek you can browse the the exhibition here.
The gallery will be open exclusively for our Society from 6pm to 8.30pm. Feel free to drop in when it suits you and stay for as long as you wish. We have a limit of 45 tickets available and as these sold out quickly the last time we were here we do recommend booking early to secure your spot(s).
This evening is a perfect opportunity to enjoy an elegant and creative environment, engage in stimulating conversations, and immerse yourself in thought-provoking art. We look forward to seeing you on 22nd April for what promises to be another memorable event.
