Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition 2022

24th November - 10th December 2022

 

I am delighted to have had 3 paintings chosen to be exhibited alongside ROI Members work at this years Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition.

 

The Royal Institute of Oil Painters was founded in 1882 and is the only major British art society that promotes and exhibits work of the highest standard exclusively in oil paint. The ROI provides a centre of excellence and encouragement to all who love this robust medium and is based at the Mall Galleries, London SW1.

 

The ROI Annual Open Exhibition is held annually in November/December when non-members are afforded the opportunity to exhibit alongside established ROI members.

 

This years exhibition opens on Thursday November 24th, 10am - 5pm.

Exhibition closes Sunday 10th December at 5pm.

 

 

 

MAFA

 

I am a full member of Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (MAFA) and was elected a MAFA council member in 2021.

The current MAFA group exhibition at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery is on from 1st October to 18th November 2022.

 

 

 

The Northern Boys

 

After a successful inaugural exhibition with 'The Northern Boys' at Contemporary Six Gallery, Manchester in 2019, and successful shows with the group in 2020 and 2021 at Windermere Fine Art gallery, I regularly have work available in both of these prestigious galleries.

The group are working towards a major exhibition in London after plans for a show in 2020 had to be postponed due to the pandemic.
