The Library, Tenderbooks, London

Giles Round, The Library, Tenderbooks, London

Opening: Tuesday 11 October, 6-8pm

The Library is a series of watercolour works on paper depicting the front covers of books by queer artists and writers.

The works cover a rich frame of reference from Virginia Woolf, Constance Spry, Truman Capote and James Baldwin; to Juliet Jacques, Annie Leibovitz and Etel Adnan. Round's selection follows no overarching principle or criteria - some are personal favourites, others recommendations, often they are visually interesting or appealing to paint - all are significant. They are at once a visual reading list, a celebration, and a homage to queer history. This series, begun during the tiered restrictions of 2020, is open-ended and ongoing. The Library is open.

Until 29 October
Tuesday - Saturday, 12-6pm

COVERS OF BOOKS available from Tenderbooks

a, A Novel, Giles Round, 2021
Watercolour & pencil on cotton paper
Titled, dated and signed on reverse in pencil
260 x 180 mm

With shows and projects postponed due to the pandemic and without access to a studio, Round spent successive lockdowns confined to working from home. Days were, to the most part, occupied with designing and constructing a self-build studio after Walter Segal. Evenings spent listening to podcasts, making works on paper. These works, usually pencil and watercolour on paper, depict both the artist’s immediate surroundings - the house and garden, and the world elsewhere - through time and space, via screenshots and found images. Varying in abstraction and subject, the series include still-life interiors, groundworks for the self-build studio, flower arrangements from the Ikenobo scroll, houses and studios of queer artists and snapshots by Felix Gonzáles-Torres. This series, open-ended and ongoing, is dedicated to covers of books by queer artists and writers. The library is open.

Entre Amis Trois

3 December 2020 – 31 January 2021

Christina Cushing, Thomas Dozol, Helena Foster, Seana Gavin, Tom Gidley, Simone Kennedy Doig, Samuel Levack, Jennifer Lewandowski, Nicholas Pankhurst, Giles Round

French Riviera presents Entre Amis Trois, our first online exhibition, bringing together ten international artists working in painting, collage and photography. The third in a series of December exhibitions curated by French Riviera, Entre Amis translates as ‘Between Friends’, a title that conjures new images in our current climate where meeting in person is not as straightforward as it once was.

The works in Entre Amis Trois are intimate in nature in terms of scale, materiality and subject matter; domestic still lifes, faces and friendships, and imaginings of distant lands with dreamlike scenes excavated from our collective memory in an era of curtailed travel. What may be perceived as creative limitations can also provide opportunities, allowing us time to re-engage with our art practice and consider ideas anew, as we experience a vital need to reach out and strengthen our connections with one another.
