We are delighted to present an exhibition of paintings by Jenny Grevatte to mark her 70th year and 50 years as an artist. Discovered by the great art dealer Lillian Browse in 1980, Grevatte's mixed media works are full of spontaneity and energy and draw inspiration from many sources.

Jenny Grevatte grew up in Leicester and trained at De Montfort University. In 2010 she completed a Residency at Leicester’s New Walk Museum and Art Gallery where she had access to the hidden collection in the art stores for study and inspiration. This has taken her out of her comfort zone completely and she is working in new, expressive ways, painting figures and faces for the first time. Grevatte builds layers of mixed media, often including collage, to create surfaces that entice the viewer to look time and time again. Today, her work is in demand in Britain and abroad with paintings in public collections including New Hall and Christ’s College, Cambridge; the National Museum of Johannesburg and the Saarland State Collection, Germany.
