The RBA Exhibition is now online and looking good! Let’s hope that we will be able to see it at the Mall Galleries in April – for most of us it has been a very long time since we visited any exhibition in person, so fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, there are some great online shows at the moment and here are a few:
At the Chappel Galleries there is the Winter Exhibition 2021, “Portraits and People in Paintings”, although they are hoping to open the gallery from the 12th April. Hon RBA member Shanti Panchal is one of the featured artists and he gives a really fascinating talk about his life and paintings on video, which can be seen here:

The Gallery is at 15 Colchester Road, Chappel, Essex CO6 2DE
- Shanti speaking on Video
- ‘Resonance’
Anthony Yates has a solo show at the Fosse Gallery, Stow-on-the-Wold, called ‘Out of Darkness’ which until the 27th March can be seen here:

The exhibition highlights 25 of Tony’s works that includes sketchbook studies as well as works new and a few previously seen elsewhere, which all fit well together.
- ‘Finestra’ [Study]
- ‘Amore Passionale’
Another online exhibition is Melissa Scott-Miller ‘London Paintings’ at the Twenty Twenty Gallery in Ludlow. The show takes you on a walk from Mayfair through to Tower Hamlets, interspersed with views of Islington back gardens
- ‘View of Regents Canal, Islington’
- ‘Flats in Columbia Road, Shoreditch’
Melissa also has a video ‘Backs of Houses’ which is on the RBA page on the Mall Galleries website, but can also be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2523pBxmfPo
