A display of new and recent work by Humphrey Ocean RA in the Keeper’s House.
We are proud to present a solo display of works on paper by Humphrey Ocean RA. The works exhibited range from rare prints made in New York, to recent paintings on paper and a new print for RA Editions. Much of Ocean’s work refers to, in his words, “our alluringly unnatural world", and this extends to living creatures within that sphere. He spends much of his time "with an eye on local habits and the way the human mind adapts and reveals itself".
Works from this exhibition will be available for sale through our online shop and are on display in The Keeper’s House in the Sir Hugh Casson Room. Members of the public can ask at the Friends desk for access to the exhibition.
Daily 10am–6pm
Friday 10am–10pm
Free, no booking required.
Birds, cars and chairs are, in that order, ancient, modern and intimate. Without them life would be a lot less bearable.
