Radio Ga Ga

Two 26 board members – Tom Lynham and Neil Taylor – will be giving talks at Bankside Gallery as part of its ‘Artist and Radio 4’ exhibition. Tom’s ‘From Homer To Homer Simpson’ will use words and pictures to explore sources of inspiration, while Neil will share the floor with artist Anita Klein to share ways of ‘Overcoming Creative Block’.

‘The Artist and Radio 4’ is an exhibition of paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints by over 60 artists who enjoy listening to Radio 4 while they work. It runs from 3-27 November, and looks at how the medium influences, motivates and inspires. Artists on show include Norman Ackroyd, Ken Howard, Tom Phillips, Francis Bowyer, Raymond Briggs, Mac and designer Zandra Rhodes.

Running alongside the exhibition, Bankside is hosting a series of evenings contemplating the nature of creativity, where it comes from and how we put it to work. Which is where Tom and Neil come in.

Tom is deeply involved in written and visual communications, and will take a revealing look at sources of inspiration through the sketchbooks, journals, letters and autobiographies of writers, artists, directors, photographers, poets and musicians.

Neil is creative director of The Writer, and will share some of his hard-won hints for getting your creative juices flowing just when you feel you’ve hit that brick wall.

‘From Homer To Homer Simpson’ is on 9 and 22 November at 6.30pm. (Free)
‘Overcoming Creative Block’ is on 23 November at 6pm. (£5 including a glass of wine)
