Patrons are invited to visit Royal Academician Anthony Whishaw in his Kensington studio. This morning visit will be a unique opportunity to see the artist's work in progress and explore the place he has called home since 1957.
Anthony Whishaw RA studied at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art in the early 1950s.
Brought up in Brazil, Anthony was drawn to Spain and travelled there while he was still a student. In Madrid at the Prado he first saw Goya’s work and was "blown away" by its intensity. He was elected as a Royal Academician in 1989 in the category of painter.
