Last week's meetings

Main points (to be expanded):

1. Graham Percy drew from life, despite his work's fantastical appearance.
2. Although drawing mainly for children, Percy worked from a modernist aesthetic, more evident in his earlier graphic design (a certainly a consideration for the exhibition design).
3. Percy employed a rich range of references (in works like Arthouse and Imagined Histories, as well as his children's illustrations).
4. Percy had a strong architectural awareness which can be identified throughout his work.
5. Self-portraits can be seen woven into many of Percy's works.
6. The kiwi series: likely to be a key feature and signature of the exhibition.
