Lily van der Stokker – Thank You Darling
The larger than life, colourfully vibrant imagery painted directly onto the walls made me wonder: Had I just walked into a cartoon?
Andrew Salgado - A Never-Setting Sun
Bright colours, bold brush strokes and playful touches provide moments of levity to deeply contemplative works.
Feeling Good
A colourful yet stark and stripped back exhibit that’s all about Feeling Good.
Crucible / Fool’s Gold
30+ artists from a correspondence course are exhibiting works in Woolwich. It’s worth the trip.
Hew Locke: The Procession
Much less party than protest, at times I was amused, confused, maybe even a little scared… and I can’t wait to go back.
The Coffee Art Project
Works by emerging and established artists, linked to the theme of coffee and coffee culture.
Mohammed Sami
Paintings that draw you in, make you want to know more and reward you with a little extra research.
#BRICKFLATS
Colourful, puffy people sandwiched in-between stark white IKEA style furnishings. So far, so London.
Postwar Modern
An exhibition that comprehensively shows how artists were struggling to make sense of a post-war world.

An exhausting representation of works from places beyond Paris, the spiritual home of the surrealists.
