Portrait of Benjamin Britten exhibiting as part of Summer Contemporary

My portrait of composer Benjamin Britten is part of Britten Pears Arts' Summer Contemporary exhibition in Snape Maltings and is available to purchase, framed.

Curated by Devi Singh, Summer Contemporary is a five-week visual art exhibition that celebrates artworks in a variety of mediums and disciplines. Between 25 July and 30 August 2026, Snape Maltings will welcome visitors to enjoy visual art alongside music and the unrivalled natural landscape. My work is featured in the exhibition alongside artworks by Maggi Hambling, Tracy Emin, and Barbara Hepworth.

Britten (1913–1976) had a profound, lifelong association with Snape, Suffolk, which served as both a creative sanctuary and the site of his greatest institutional legacy, the Snape Maltings Concert Hall. His connection to the area transformed a disused industrial site into a world-renowned centre for music and the home of the Aldeburgh Festival.

Visit the Britten Pears Arts website for further information.
