Presenting new and original work by figurative artists Natalie Charles and Roy Joseph Butler, exploring the narratives expressed by the human form in space and over time. Part of the Artists' Open House at Dulwich Festival 2024.

Natalie Charles (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist from London whose work explores connections between people and the impact of our personal histories. The Things I Have Inside features paintings and lino-cut prints that are an investigation of the artist's ancestry and the innate spiritual guidance that steers and protects us all in life. Proceeds from all sales will support the artist’s growth and fund public programmes in advancing and diversifying engagement in visual storytelling.

Roy Joseph Butler (he/him) uses photography to convey aspects of belonging, his most recent series, From the Life Room, highlighting the connection between the artists' subject and both the space and the viewer that contextualise and interpret them.

Presenting new and original work by fine artists and Maggi Hambling protégés Keith Ashley and Leo Crane, exploring the narrative and creative power of monotype ink and charcoal. Part of Artists' Open House at Dulwich Festival 2023.

A contemplation in mortality, Keith Ashley’s The Messenger examines the enduring fascination and symbolism of the crow, depicting it in a starkly ominous landscape which allows the artist to experiment with mark making, creating prints rich in depth and complexity.

Leo Crane has a keen interest in the human figure, drawing from life using fast fluid strokes to capture the relationship between the subject and the space around them. Life in Charcoal exemplifies this, conveying self-expression through gesture and movement, with particular reference to the nude.

Hosted in partnership with West Norwood Picturehouse. Artists will be on-site on:

Saturday 13th May, 10 - 5 pm

Sunday 14th May, 10 - 5 pm

Saturday 20th May, 10 - 5 pm
