I have finally got around to editing the catalogue from Kate Giles’s show. I’ve also updated our British Art Fair catalogue. A link to both in my bio and on my website. There are still works available! Including this majestic Roman Road on paper, which I’m very reluctant to ever let go of.

Occasionally you see a painting that causes a sharp intake of breath. I defy another artwork this decade to create as loud an exhaled WOW. Study (it’s just a study…) of Spring, Primrose Hill was painted by Frank Auerbach in 1975. The whole exhibition ‘Frank Auerbach: Portraits of London’ @offerwaterman is a marvel, tracing his London landscapes throughout his career. What’s extra nice is most of the paintings are in British museum collections. I’d exchange all four of my children AND my miniature wire haired dachshund for this one ❣️ #frankauerbach

The calm before the storm. Last week before the Preview for Kate Giles’s solo show ‘Compass of Mind’ infront of Kate’s painting Blue Solstice. My HUGEST thanks to everyone involved.. @katesgiles @delahunty_fine_art @studiojacques__ for production of the beautiful catalogue (available on my website or in link in bio) @fairhurstgallery for - as ever - your exquisite and tireless framing Douglas Atfield for the stellar photography of each and every artwork @ghosttequila for perfectly spicing up the evening @knatchbullsavilerow for my delectable and trusty velvet suit

Last chance to see this series of work! We are open today 11-4 at Delahunty, 29 Bruton St, W1. My first solo show with Kate Giles. Compass of Mind – 35 artworks – transpired from a serendipitous series of events, starting back in the misty depths of Winter, encased within the jewel-like Claude-clad Landscape Room of Holkham Hall, and culminating in the long shadows of it’s late summer, parched Palladian parkland. It has been an endless marvel unravelling the complexities of these highly technical, most dynamic of landscapes. My biggest thanks to Kate for her endless energy, inspiration and education, and my untold gratitude to Damian for having faith in us both and allowing us in to the most beautiful of spaces. @delahunty_fine_art @katesgiles 📸 @matthew_hollow_photography

These paintings are important to be seen in the flesh. The layers upon layers of paint and the mediums of paper, board and linen create so many varying textures and deep, saturated colours. We are open today until 5pm And Sunday 11-4 Catalogue available in bio Delahunty 29 Bruton St, W1

A few remaining works! And still some of the best. We are very keen on this first one - Laque du Vert - there’s something ‘very Auerbach’ in its style and sketchiness . To view the catalogue pls see the link in my bio or on my website homepage.
