…I am selling limited edition prints of my painting of Sevenoaks, featuring some of architectural highlights of the town (see below). The edition is limited to 100 copies and half of these will be for sale by the Sevenoaks Society. £50 each, unframed. Please email me on roger@rogerfitzgerald.com for further details.
As part of South East Open Studios, my gallery will be open from 2-5 pm on 15 and 16 June. http://www.seos-art.org
The exhibition will focus on paintings produced for my book “Buildings of New York” and also feature some new images of Sevenoaks.
The top image is of The Vine: the first recorded game of cricket took place here in 1734.
A new exhibition opens tomorrow (Saturday 10 February 18) at the Grierson Gallery on Sevenoaks High Street. A third of the display will be devoted to a selection of my paintings of New York. All artwork is for sale, and copies of “Buildings of New York” will be available at a special exhibition discount.
This painting in acrylic, ink and collage of the Guggenheim Museum is one of twelve paintings being exhibited and available to purchase.
The last chance to view the original paintings produced for Roger’s new book on the “Buildings of London” is next weekend, 18 and 19 June.
His studio is open 11.00am – 5.00 pm on Saturday and Sunday 18/19 June. Some of the paintings have sold…but many are still available to buy, prices £100 – £500.
A free copy of the book (RRP £12.95) with every painting sold.
Following the exhibition paintings will be dispersed into private art collections so this is the last chance to see all the paintings together.
Hover your cursor over the words Buildings-of-London-catalogue each time they appear on the screen. (Not the main title but further down, in a smaller font.) If it turns blue, click on it: do this a couple of times and you will be taken through to the catalogue of all original artwork from the book “Buildings of London”, including sizes and prices. Artwork will be on sale at the South East Open Studio in June.

Roger’s Brick Lane painting was sold last night following an exciting auction by Sotherby’s. Grouped with Zaha Hadid and Richard Rogers’ works as the climax to the event, Roger’s painting achieved the top price of the evening for the second year running. The auction and exhibition were held at the Granary, Central St. Martins, Kings Cross.
After Holborn Circus in London’s West End last year, this year Article 25 asked me to paint Brick Lane: my contribution to their 10×10 “drawing the city” fund-raising event, this time in the East End.
What a great subject! Full of colour, smells and music, the place buzzes with life on a Sunday afternoon. The spicy rich complexity of the food is echoed by the strong red weathered brickwork.
As well as acrylic paint and black ink I have incorporated collage into the image: the cover and some pages from Monica Ali’s book “Brick Lane”; some menus and tickets from the area; some wooden cutlery from the market; a palette knife broken in making the picture and a blade – representing the sharp edginess of the place.
