The Wick List

Viewing A Day the Seaside at Oliver Projects Gallery

High summer is upon us, and this week’s The Wick List is inspired by the seaside. First up is this group show in East Dulwich. A Day at the Seaside brings together artists from different generations: Sikelela Owen RA, Archie Franks, R&F Mo, Alice Macdonald, Gavin Lockheart, Ruth Dupré and the late Jeffery Camp RA among them, curated by the brilliant Eileen Cooper, Royal Academician and former Monday Muse at The Wick.

“I have always made work about the sea” Cooper said of the show. “Although the title for this group exhibition has a light and playful touch, the artists – who include Royal Academicians and others who I have known since they were at art school – will bring their own experience and imagery to the subject’s atmosphere, resulting in a joyful collection of works which respond to the theme in a variety of ways.”

The show marks the inaugural show at Oliver Projects new permanent home in south-east London, after years operating nomadically and via their online shop, with the ambition to make discovering and collecting contemporary art feel easy. All the works included in this show are priced at under £3,000.
