Adrian Wiszniewski RSA, Exhibition at Compass Gallery

New Paintings and Works on Paper

Dates: September 5th to 25th 2015

TheESOP tutor Adrian Wiszniewski has found his own style over the thirty years he has been painting. His bold, large figurative paintings, at the Compass Gallery, demonstrate a unique and unmistakable style. His subjects are diverse and often allegorical. Adrian’s work is strong, colourful, confident and daring. His continued adherence to his figurative subject matter could very well hail the oncoming of a new figurative revival. Numerous works in this new show, such as ‘Russian Red 1913’, relate to the period when Igor Stravinsky composed music for the avant-garde Ballet Russes, ‘The Rite of Spring’. Many of these new paintings explore the theme, and include his images for the artwork for a new recording of the Stravinsky composition by the David Patrick Octet.

Adrian teaches at The Essential School of Painting this October.
