Nicholas in the Renaissance (2008)Sebastian’s Arrows: Story of an Artist as a Young Man
5th-10th May 2008

Announcing the exciting new exhibition of Nicholas de Lacy-Brown this Spring 2008. Following the success of his previous regional exhibitions, the Sussex-born artist presents his first London solo exhibition in Mayfair’s prestigious Arndean Gallery in the heart of the London art scene.

Exclusive viewing of some 40 canvases sets to explore a story rich in emotion, betrayal, tragedy and heartbreak, as well as The Apprentice experience, as Sebastian’s Arrows pierce the skin of self-exploration, the armour of war and inflict the poisonous wound of love. The exhibition’s retrospective span extends from the Artist’s early works post-2000, to his recently completed stunning landscape collections: Cityscapes, Seascapes and Venice.

Original canvases and limited edition prints will be for sale. Serious buyers are advised to attend the exhibition’s opening day on Monday 5th May (Bank Holiday Monday).
