Artists & Illustrators 11

David Hepher

23 April to 23 November

David Hepher turned 80 last year

and celebrates belatedly with this

major retrospective. The former

Slade professor has straddled the

conceptual and the traditional

throughout his career, tackling

everyday subjects in a graphic

manner via a range of media.

Curator Sonja Kielty plans to

hang Hepher’s vast suburban oils

(1973’s The Windows of No 19,

pictured) together to form a street

in the gallery, while the Surrey-born

artist’s latest works will utilise

concrete and paint to form abstract

impressions of city life.
