On the occasion of his online exhibition 'Untitled Anxious Red Drawings', this ‘Family Saturday at Home’ is inspired by artist Rashid Johnson.

Why not join us for a David Smith inspired Family Saturday at Home: Constructing Form with Paint? In the late 1950s-60s the artist David Smith made paintings known as ‘Sprays’ using industrial paint from aerosol cans sprayed around objects laid down on canvas, which left behind abstract forms. This method related to Smith's practice of welding together sculptures on the floor of his workshop. The scorched silhouettes of the sculptural elements would remain visible on the floor after the sculpture had been raised upright. Smith, who was interested in breaking down the boundaries between drawing, painting and sculpture, developed this process to make painted images.

This ‘Family Saturday at Home’ is inspired by artist Nicolas Party, on the occasion of his new online exhibition ‘Canopy'.

Our first ‘Family Saturday at Home’ takes its inspiration from the online exhibition ‘Louise Bourgeois. Drawings 1947 – 2007’.

Our next ‘Family Saturday from Home’ takes its inspiration from the recent exhibition in Somerset, 'Don McCullin. The Stillness of Life', experimenting with different ways to record our landscape and environments we call home.

Art makes people optimistic about their future, it can record a message of inspiration, and be a visual form of communication between people. Whilst we can be inspired by other people’s art, how do we start to make art ourselves? Many artists use their lives as the inspiration for their artwork. For this Family Saturday at Home we will focus on what it is like to be where you are right now.
