Alumni Exhibition Success

As well as featuring in numerous smaller exhibitions, the Royal Drawing School’s alumni have recently been selected for the following exhibitions:

'Betweenlands' at Blain Southern

This September, three Drawing Year alumni featured in a week-long West-End exhibition hosted by Blain Southern. 'Betweenlands' showed new large paintings by Kristian Fletcher, Max Naylor and Kathryn Maple, all of whom have a practice firmly grounded in observational drawing. This was the first collaboration between the Royal Drawing School and Blain Southern, and was welcomed with a buzzing opening night.
