Unity Spencer will be exhibiting a selection of works from her art student days at the Wimbledon and Slade Schools of Art up to the present day - the second time only during her long career. Her themes are drawn from her life - which had its share of trauma and tranquillity. The years spent in Hampstead, followed by those at Cookham are punctuated with scenes from the schools where she taught; others show people in typical situations - on the bus, underground, shopping , dancing, listening to music. Music has always had special place - and her renderings of orchestral rehearsals and soloists are among her best. Later, at intervals, she created dream paintings, recording her unease with the world and these are highly charged surreal compositions with strong colours. Her watercolours are in a different mood - a love of nature being the inspiration. Her prints - mostly lithographs - are bold, as if she had more courage with a mechanical process. Younger daughter of Hilda Carline and Stanley Spencer, she has taken a long time emerge, but, as this exhibition will demonstrate, she has no reason to hide.

Mary Cozens-Walker draws strength from her memories of seemingly trivial events shared with her husband, Anthony Green, and their daughters - meals, attending church, visiting aunts, walking the dog etc. She introduces these subjects in a combination of her chosen media - painting, sculpting with papier-mâché and plaster, stitching, collaging. Her pieces require a high level of skill though she is careful that we should not be distracted from the theme. Her boxes are not unlike doll's houses but with character and great humour including the smell of mothballs used, for instance, for Marjorie's Bungalow - an affectionate recollection faithfully reproduced of a member of the family frequently visited in her old-fashioned surroundings. Most recently, she has sculpted plaster heads, stuck on tall metal rods which are simple and erect, in total contrast to the delectable and ornate, folk-loric rendition of a scent bottle, Parfum Oil Seed Rape. Her Family Tree pays homage to three generations of one family, closely observed and then re-interpreted - her own way. Whatever she chooses to portray, her own ideas and style always prevail. As one title of her work says: I am what I am .

A fully illustrated catalogue is available for each artist; introductions are by Sue Steward and F Whitford respectively.
