Edel Assanti: Artist Walkthrough of Dale Lewis' - 'The Great Day'

Edel Assanti is pleased to present The Great Day, Lewis’ largest work to date. Measuring 34 metres in length, the work wraps around the full perimeter of the gallery. Reading from left to right, the work depicts a continuous linear narrative, recalling the pictorial systems of medieval tapestries and ancient hieroglyphs. The painting borrows its title from one of the first films that Alfred Hitchcock worked on in 1920. Whilst the title conjures a narrative as spectacular as the scale of the painting itself, the events it depicts embody the banality, melancholy and intensity of everyday inner-city London life.

Please note that this event has now passed.
