Fernando will be exhibiting at The London Group Open 2023.
The London Group, the oldest and most esteemed artists’ collective, is proud to unveil the selected non-member exhibiting artists for its upcoming 85th Open exhibition. From over 1,900 entries submitted by more than 1,000 artists, The London Group have selected 79 artworks by UK-based artists, spanning all mediums and disciplines. ‘‘The quality and scope of the nearly two thousand entries for this year’s London Group Open Call 2023 was both a beautiful and exciting snapshot of the current artistic practice in the UK,’’ says Exhibition Lead Jockel Liess.
The London Group was set up in 1913 by thirty-two artists including Walter Sickert, Jacob Epstein, Wyndham Lewis, David Bomberg, and Henri Gaudier Brzeska, with the aim of creating a powerful artist-run group to act as a counter-balance to institutions such as the Royal Academy.
The founding group created a unique structure for an organisation, that has gone on to successfully nurture the careers of many of Britain’s best-known artists. Today, The London Group is a thriving democratic artists’ collective practicing in all disciplines, from painting and sculpture to moving image, digital and performance, with a full annual events programme in London around the UK and abroad.
