Lyndsey Ingram is pleased to present London in Motion, an exhibition centred on the pioneering linocuts of Cyril Power and featuring other leading figures of the Grosvenor School, including Claude Flight and Sybil Andrews, presented in collaboration with Thomas Gibson Fine Art.
The exhibition highlights the artists’ dynamic engagement with the sights, rhythms, and vitality of a rapidly modernising London at a crucial moment between the First and Second World Wars. Capturing commuter crowds, sporting spectacles, and the city’s expanding infrastructure, the presentation showcases how these artists harnessed innovative printmaking techniques to transform ordinary, daily experiences into a distinctly modern visual language.
Many of the prints included in this exhibition are now regarded as among the most iconic visual interpretations of London and continue to resonate with audiences nearly a century later. Works by the Grosvenor School are internationally recognised and held in major museum collections including: the British Museum; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the National Gallery of Australia; the Museum of Modern Art; the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Emerging from a period shaped by the upheaval of war and rapid technological change, the works capture a uniquely vibrant chapter in British cultural history, shaped by profound social transformation and the emergence of a new visual language.
