RAP on TOUR: PERRY & PICASSO

Charleston Gallery Lewes

We had a great trip on the minibus to Lewes and enjoyed two great exhibitions at the new Charleston Gallery, along with some Christmas shopping. The works on show by Grayson Perry were really interesting and thought provoking, and the Collecting Modernism show was packed with paintings from many and varied artists who painted in the 20th century. Well worth a visit, and we will keep an eye out for further shows there in the coming year.

Explore the meaning of ‘home’ through the work of Grayson Perry, one of Britain’s best-known artists. Textiles and pots to ceramic tiles and woodcuts, ask questions about how stories of home shape who we are. How does our definition of home affect our sense of identity? What does it mean to be British today?

Collecting Modernism: Pablo Picasso to Winifred Nicholson

Explore a notable collection, one of the biggest and most important groupings of modern British art in the country, that offers an intimate perspective on the development of modernism across Europe. A rare chance to get up close with 80 pieces of work by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
