Jonny Boatfield: The Great Small Miracles Exhibition

Stapleford Granary are delighted to host The Great Small Miracles Exhibition by Jonny Boatfield.

Widely heralded as one of the UK’s finest draughtsmen, Jonny Boatfield's extraordinary body of work straddles illustration, cartoon and theatre. He draws daily, with a dip pen and ink on old envelopes, greaseproof paper, food bags, scrap cardboard and record covers, with no prior plan or decision making. The resulting images are instinctive, fluid and unconstrained.

This exhibition includes around 30 framed original drawings, plus paper theatres, three-dimensional work and sketches. Though the subject matter varies considerably, his pictures all share edge-to-edge paper coverage and a distinctive colour and textural palette, ranging from monochrome through faded watercolour-wash pastels to heavily varnished patinas.
