Eva Breuer Art Dealer is proud to present a curated exhibition of works by a vast range of artists all based around the experience of youth childhood in part inspired by the exhibition Les Enfants modèles (Child Models) at the Musée national de l’Orangerie in Paris.
Many of the artworks depict images of children themselves. Among others, Ena Joyce depicts a young woman in a plaid skirt pushing a pram under a grey sky along the banks of the Thames, John Olsen shows a girl playing with a seemingly uncomfortable cat, Sam Wade paints a group of school children waiting on a train platform and Zai Kuang captures a moment of quiet contemplation as a seated young girl stares down at a toy penguin perched on a table. In some paintings, such as Stephen Nothling’s Only Pinnochio Knows and Meg Williams’s Still Life with Pink Pig the presence of a child is only implied through the inclusion of children’s toys.
The selection of works showing children and elements of children’s worlds are complemented by paintings that appeal to children through elements such as bright colours, in the case of Philippa Blair, or through their whimsical subject matter, in the case of Geoffrey Proud and Rosemary Valadon.
Children in Art will be on view starting April 6th at Eva Breuer Art Dealer.
