Artworks

The exhibition and publication No Set Rules was a collaboration between Ben Uri Gallery & Museum and Southampton City Art Gallery. Exploring the limitless possibilities of working on paper, it brought together selected works from the Philip Schlee collection of drawings, prints and paintings made between 1920 and 2004 with resonant works on paper from Ben Uri’s own collection. No Set Rules initiates dialogues, grouping teachers, students, collaborators and strangers, juxtaposing masters of monochrome with creators of dazzling sweeps of colour to show that drawing doesn’t necessarily begin or end with a pencil. This exhibition proves, as David Hockney once observed, that “there are no set rules in drawing”.
