RIVER CROSSING: JUNE 2025
Nomura, London
"Dale Inglis draws on a long tradition of artists who have depicted the Thames, from Turner to Seago and beyond. In this group of paintings, beautifully offset by the architecture of the Nomura building, he explores the ebb and flow of the river using a layered and fractured technique that echoes the long history of the Thames"
(Alison Smith, Director of Collections and Research, The Wallace Collection)
“We are delighted to host this fantastic exhibition of Dale’s paintings to celebrate the anniversary of Cannon Street – a London landmark close to our office - and our hearts"
(Mark Hounslow, Head of Nomura Corporate Real Estate)
RIVER CROSSING by DALE INGLIS
Nomura International plc

June-July 2025
Curator: Peter Wells-Thorpe
A 3003 Group Exhibition
Founder of the Nomura Art Award, the world's largest contemporary art prize, Nomura International's Thameside building directly overlooks two of the major, recurring motifs in Dale Inglis' work - Cannon Street Station and Cannon Street Railway Bridge.
Travelling, daily, thousands of times to London, over thirty years, from his East Sussex home in Battle, Dale Inglis says his fascination with the city’s river and bridges, from the Hungerford Bridge to London Bridge, gradually came to focus on the Cannon Street Railway Bridge area simply through the frequency of what he saw on his journeys: “The 360 degrees view of the river and surroundings from the platform and the train is breathtaking”.
Launching the building's first-ever exhibition by a solo artist, Dale Inglis added: “I hope the exhibition gives everyone who works at Nomura the opportunity to see the world around them, at work, in a new and stimulating way through Art, and to enjoy a moment of reflection on the beauty and history of this unsurpassed viewpoint of our city.”
