Wayne Anderson - Dragons and other tales

WAYNE ANDERSON: DRAGONS & OTHER TALES

EXHIBITION at Stapleford Granary 3 SEPTEMBER - 3 NOVEMBER

Preview: Wednesday 2 September, 5:00pm - 10:00pm

Bar open & small bites menu available

All welcome, free admission

Autumn brings extraordinary worlds of dragons, monsters, witches and fantastical machines to Stapleford Granary.

For more than 60 years, Wayne Anderson has created images that bring together fairy tale, folklore, fantasy and the macabre — beautiful, humorous and unsettling in equal measure.

He has illustrated more than 160 books and earned worldwide acclaim for his unique visual imagination. His whimsical, intricate and dreamlike inventions have appeared in magazine features, international advertising campaigns, on record covers and in animated films. From mythical creatures to promotional campaigns for British Airways, his distinctive style strikes a delicate balance between beauty and beasts.

Our exhibition celebrates an exceptional lifetime of illustration. It brings together 40 original artworks, alongside prints, first-edition books and examples of Anderson’s commercial work. This is the first solo exhibition devoted to Wayne Anderson’s art.
