This exhibition is their first in England since 1962.

It’s all about the Two Roberts, Colquhoun and Macbryde. It traces their incredible journey from 1930s Glasgow to wartime Europe, through London in the Blitz, to tragedy... Tracing their spectacular rise and fall, it puts them back where they were—at the centre of a wild creative set in a rapidly changing world.

It includes their time in Lewes, where they lived from 1947-49, supported by the Miller sisters, patrons connected to the Bloomsbury Group. Paintings, lithographs, drawings and archive celebrate their personal and artistic bond and puts them in context with contemporaries.

The show will open in Sept 2025 at Charleston in Lewes and tickets are on sale in the new year. There are so many folk to thank but this couldn’t happen without the Charleston team, Much Ado Books or the artist Davy Brown.
