Continuing the Great British Art Debate at Museums Sheffield this summer, Watercolour in Britain: Tradition and Beyond will explore the remarkable diversity of a truly British art form. Featuring significant and rarely seen works from many artists, from contemporary artists Chris Ofili and Anish Kapoor, to JMW Turner and William Blake, the exhibition will look at watercolour’s iconic status in our cultural heritage and those artists who have pushed the boundaries of its potential.

The Spirit Moves Ashley Jackson
Celebrating his 70th Birthday, Jackson returns to the Mall Galleries.
Acclaimed as being the, ‘Turner of the 21st Century’ his dynamic and brooding landscapes capture the atmospheric skies of the Yorkshire Moorland.
Synonymous with Yorkshire his paintings are transcriptions of Mother Nature’s Love letters revealing the relationship between the man and his moor.
He will be unveiling a stunning collection of previously unseen work, for which he has spent his life time chasing the changing light in God’s County, where they may be all season’s in one day, leaving man exposed and open to the elements. No other artist can emulate his technique in such large scale watercolours; there is no camera or trickery just pure skill.
If there is one exhibition not to be missed this year, this is it; it has been over 25years since Jackson had a one man exhibition at the Mall Galleries
As an exclusive to the Mall Galleries, Ashley Jackson will be present throughout the exhibition.

Frederick Cayley Robinson: Acts of Mercy
14 July – 17 October 2010
Frederick Cayley Robinson (1862–1927) is one of the most distinctive and yet elusive British painters of the early 20th century. Essentially a British Symbolist, Robinson created a striking variety of mood and atmosphere in his paintings to evoke complex emotional responses.

LONDON.- Marlborough Fine Art presents an
exhibition of new work by Paula Rego through 20th August. This is her first
solo exhibition in London since 2006. The exhibition has three separate

and two wings which Paula created for her recent joint exhibition with Tracey
Emin and Matt Collishaw at the Foundling Museum earlier this year. In addition
to the Oratorio, there are six large conté works on paper relating to the
Oratorio and its Foundling Museum origins.

Over the last thirty years the National Gallery of Scotland has carefully and deliberately strengthened its holdings of French drawings to rival its holdings of French paintings.
