Twombly, Poussin and Botanical Drawing - Editor's Choice, Exhibitions
24 June, 2011
by: Tom Jeffreys
Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Wednesday 29th June
Twombly and Pussin @ Dulwich Picture Gallery
To celebrate their bicentenary, the Dulwich Picture Gallery are putting on one of the most crazily brilliant exhibitions of the year. Seventeenth century French classical painter Nicolas Poussin side by side with twentieth century scribbler Cy Tombly? Yes, it's happening. With around thirty paintings and drawings, the aim is to emphasise the similarities between these two painters. It's ambitious and potentially rather brilliant.
From Wednesday 29th June
Botanical Teach Boutique @ Hauser and Wirth
As part of the oddball concept that is the Piccadilly Community Centre, currently taking over Haser and Wirth, this June and July sees a series of botanical drawing salons with artist Rebecca Cartwright. I personally bloody love botanical drawings and the opportunity to learn how to do it myself is one that's far to good to miss.
From Thursday 30th June
Paul Etienne Lincoln @ South London Gallery
Like Pablo Bronstein, who's currently showing at the ICA, Paul Etienne Lincoln plunders the annals of history to produce large-scale work across a range of media that is often allegorically complex and aesthetically rather elegant. Incorporating local Camberwell history with ideas around music, botany and technology this new show at South London Gallery looks fascinating.
