What’s On This Weekend: Victorian Vauxhall, The Gin & Rum Festival & Dog Days of Summer

Sleepless Exhibition in Westminster

France-Lise McGurn is a Glasgow-based artist who predominantly works with painting to create fluid works that spill from the canvas onto the gallery walls, floors and ceilings. In her latest exhibition at Tate Britain, she explores the experience of city life through her technique. Drawing on a collected archive of found imagery she has created figurative installations which express notions of sexuality, ecstasy, loss and consciousness. This is part of the Art Now series of free exhibitions showcasing emerging talent and highlighting new developments in British art. Only a short journey from our Westminster office and are interested in looking at properties to rent or properties to buy in the area, feel free to drop in and say hello to our team who would be happy to help.
