CANNON STREET HOTEL (Paintings 2010-2024] celebrated the 150th anniversary of the construction of London’s Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Station and marked 45 years since Dale Inglis opened his first studio in London, in Wapping, in 1979.
Comprising 25 original paintings, collages, screenprints and drawings created over a 14-year period, CANNON STREET HOTEL (Paintings 2010-2024] was Dale Inglis' first exhibition in London for over a decade.
Depicting the unique landscape where the River Thames passes through the historic heart of the City of London, stretching from Cannon Street on the north to Bankside on the south, the collection of paintings represented Dale Inglis' ongoing fascination with bridges and riverscapes, which he shares with earlier artists like Claude Monet, James Whistler and Oscar Kokoschka, in a history of the Thames, in Art, stretching back to the 16th century.
“The juxtaposition of the river, the bridges and the railway remind us that we are just passing through”, observes Inglis.
