AGM at 10am – Doors open at 09:30

NB This Meeting is at Field Place, Worthing!

British sculpture enjoyed a renaissance in the 20th century with Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Elizabeth Frink leading the way. But who came afterwards and with what effect? Whiteread, Gormley, Hamblin, Kapoor, Long and Nash. After examining their work we review the adornments to the fourth plinth and the rising stars of British Sculpture.

Raymond Warburton has had a life-long love of art. However, in his twenties, Ray studied social sciences at the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies. These studies led to a career in health and social care, with art being an evening and weekend passion. But all that changed in 2011, when Ray became a guide at Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Then from 2014 to 2017, he studied art history at the Open University, and then at the University of Buckingham, from where he gained an MA in the History of Art. And to cap it all, Ray became an Arts Society lecturer in 2017. Ray also knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of lectures as he is a member of his local Arts Society in Blackheath.

Since the early Romans and Greeks alcohol has been an important subject for artists. We examine the way drink and drinking are depicted, the social messages portrayed, happy and unhappy consequences and how alcohol affected the lives of many artists, their families and friends.
