Romantic Italian landscapes by Ealing-based Catherine Grubb form the basis of the New Richmond Gallery's first ever one-woman show. Her distinctive style of using only one colour per picture has brought her great success in recent years. There is an overwhelming medieval flavour to this exhibition, most noticeable in her landscapes.
