In 1962, three friends were photographed fooling around with paintings and frames in the stairwell of 5 Nugent Terrace, London, a home they shared in common.

More than 55 years later, “Three Friends, Three Paths” brings these friends, renowned artists Don Peebles (ONZM), Robert Macdonald and John Drawbridge (MBE), back together through an exhibition of over 50 of their paintings on canvas, works on paper (watercolours, drawings, original prints) and mixed media works.

The show’s title refers to the focus of the exhibition on the different career paths taken by the three friends. Works were selected from significant periods in their careers (including several points of intersection) and date from 1949 – 2011.

Above are images of just a sample of the works on show in this exhibition.
