Dennis Creffield Angels in the Architecture: Works on Paper 1958-2008 (2025)

Exhibition of over 40 works on paper by Dennis Creffield charts the artist’s development over a five-decade period. Drawing, most usually in charcoal, was a central aspect of his practice. Creffield is perhaps best known for his majestic Cathedral drawings that date from 1986-88 and formed part of a major Arts Council touring exhibition. However, his subject matter was infinitely more varied with themes ranging from the figure to still life, from architecture to landscape and from the sacred to the profane. Creffield was adept at dealing with themes of great complexity and depth, but he also revelled in the delights of everyday life, from the bloom of a flower to a view of seaside resort beach.
