Last week I went to see the restrospective exhibition of drawings by the late Victor Ambrus (1935-2021) at the Bankside Gallery.
I was a HUGE fan of his wonderful drawings - mostly in dry media - with some watercolour added occasionally. He was the most fantastic illustrator as well as wonderful drawer of both people and animals.
You can see my photos from the exhibition in three posts on my Facebook Page. The narrative is reproduced below - with links to each of the posts. Don't miss the photos of his decsriptions of
- how I draw
- how to draw animals!
There’s an exhibition of the work of the Late Victor Ambrus at the Bankside Gallery until Sunday 6th August. I went yesterday and it’s splendid. I always used to look forward to seeing his work at Pastel Society Exhibitions. He was both an artist and an illustrator who mainly worked in dry media and who illustrated over 400 books and was part of the Time Team group.
More photos from the Victor Ambrus exhibition at the Bankside - continues until Sunday 6th August. These are of the various animals he drew from life in different zoos in dry media. It starts with a description of how he drew animals.
Yet more photos from the Victor Ambrus Exhibition at the Bankside Gallery which closes shortly. PLUS A description of "How I Draw" by Victor Ambrus.
Plus you can see his work celebrated in two videos (embedded below)
- A Time Team Tribute to Victor Ambrus following his demise in 2021.
