Private View - Andrew Lumsden Art & Activism Thur Feb 6 from 6pm
Andrew Lumsden was a London based activist and one of the founders of the Gay Liberation Front, a pioneering openly queer journalist and also an incredibly talented artist working across a variety of mediums.
Throughout February The Outsiders Gallery will be showing a retrospective covering Andrews artwork from the early 1970's through to the 2020's.
A contemporary of Derek Jarman and David Hockney, Andrew Lumsden created a steady flow of artworks reflecting his life as an activist, traveller and lover. His work ranged from abstract and impressionist works in the 70's through to highly detailed photo realistic works reflecting the landscapes, beaches and interiors he encountered as he travelled around the UK, across Spain and to Goa, to personal sketches and paintings of friends and lovers, and then back to his first love of abstraction during the lockdown period in 2020.
