from page50 work from ‘Art in Action’s young award winners) before walking round thecorner to Advanced Graphics’ handsomespacein Long Lane. May’s main show is entitled ‘Significant Others’ and features two distinguished hus- band and wifeartistic partner- ships, ClydeHopkins and Marilyn Hallam and (thelate) Patrick Caulfield and Janet Nathan, all richly varied work in fact, despite theconnections. Finally, working our way back to where we started, head across to Southwark Street where Anita Klein will be showing her vigorous linocuts of domestic life, courtesy of The Fine Art Partnership at the Menier Gallery and veteran artist Bill Hudson’s abstract paintings and drawings ‘searching for the 4th dimension’ as he puts it, can be seen at Lovat Barnes. Our last stop is in what feels like an un- likely location for an art-gallery – Llewellyn Alexander – just oppositetheentranceto Waterloo Station. It has never proved a hindrance to them however – the gallery has been there for many years now and thrived – Mary Pym’s sprightly, colourful semi- abstract landscapes, their main May offering, is typical of just how it has . . . Nicholas Usherwood Matthew Draper has become a very attractive and collectable artist with his distinctive approach to contemporary landscape. Although his favoured medium of pastel is rarely used today, its particular qualities of suffused luminosity and atmospheric tonality are ideally suited for capturing the sublime meterological dramas which inspirehis work. For his latest exhibition he has returned to the Firth of Forth which has as its focal point themajestic Bass Rock. This daunting subject has attracted innumerable painters from Turner to Bellany, but miraculously Draper – through theintensity of his individual vision, imagination and skill – has thrown new light on this familiar, but fascinating, subject.
