Lucy Raverat: Rio Negro. Among the paintings Lucy Raverat has assembled for her fourth exhibition with Francis Kyle Gallery there is a new, urgent emphasis on the natural world, triggered by one encounter in particular which she considers momentous, indeed life-changing. Typically graceful and stylised in their appearance, the human figures which remain an important presence in her work now are overshadowed by a new and powerful presence. It is the presence of the great river, the Rio Negro, major tributary of the Amazon, which impressed itself profoundly upon the artist. Francis Kyle Gallery. 29th September – 28th October. 020 7499 6870/6970. info@franciskylegallery.com.
