Late artist is granted ‘long held wish’ for heads show

Bridget Galton, Ham & High, 19 September 2024

The late artist Lancelot Ribeiro painted heads to explore ideas of power and evil, and hoped one day to see an exhibition dedicated to them.
It’s a wish that has been realised some 14 years after his death with a show at Ben Uri Gallery in Boundary Road, St John’s Wood.
Lancelot Ribeiro: Heads - In and Out of Our Time runs from September 18 in partnership with the artist’s estate and with the blessing of daughter Marsha Ribeiro.
