Recent Works by Rhonda Whitehead

Exhibition : Tuesday 13th October until Sunday 1st November 2009

Rhonda Whitehead is returning to London for her solo exhibition at the Muse at 269. She last exhibitited in London at the art fair in Islington in 2007.

All works included in the exhibition are from the last ten years, She now lives and works on the Norfolk, Suffolk borders. Since leaving London she has been professionally active having 6 solo exhibitions. Two at the Grapevine Gallery, Norwich reviewed enthusiastically by the critics Christopher Smith and Mary Rudd. Two at the AWD gallery Halesworth, Suffolk and two in Cambridge. One at Clare Hall Gallery and one at Kings Arts Centre. Her painting Venice Ochre won first prize at the
Byard Open exhibition in 2006 in Cambridge. She has also taken part in various mixed shows and open studios exhibitions.

Her preoccupation with colour and structure remain constant in recent works in oil on paper and oil on canvas, drawing a link between the forces in nature and the patterns of weathering and erosion on structures and buildings. In 'Italian city buildings', colours appear flattened onto the canvas revealing what is there ---- peeling surfaces, spidery scratchy writings in the paint ---- all executed with a generous freedom.

Open daily Wednesday to Sunday 12 noon -- 6pm or by appointment
‘The Muse’ at 269 Portobello Rd LondonW11 1LR
