John Armstrong at Upstone Gallery
October 10, 2026
A new solo exhibition of work by ACS member John Armstrong opens at Upstone Gallery next week.
The exhibition presents 13 paintings made between the 1930s and early 1950s, tracing a particularly significant period in Armstrong’s career, when classical mythology, modern European art and the artist’s personal experiences of a turbulent and changing world came together to inform their practice.
The selection of work highlights Armstrong’s distinctive approach to colour, light and composition. The exhibition is complemented by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by gallerist Robert Upstone.
14 Oct – 11 Nov
Upstone, 40 Frith Street, Soho, London W1D 5LN
