David Dawson: Working with Lucian Freud

An extraordinary insight into the notoriously private world of the painter Lucian Freud through the eyes of his model and studio assistant David Dawson. The exhibition features Dawson's remarkably intimate photographs of the artist at work placing them alongside his own rarely-seen paintings of the street outside his studio in Kensal Rise and etchings by Freud.

The first major exhibition for 25 years of the highly individual work of the popular British artist Edward Burra (1905-1976). Through a selection of around 70 major works from across the artist's career, this exhibition focuses on Burra's sharply-observed social commentary and unique draftsmanship.
