Paula Rego @ Marlborough Fine Art

From Mind to Hand: Drawings from 1980 – 2001, is an exhibition devoted to Paula Rego’s preparatory sketches demonstrating how essential drawing is to an understanding of her work. Fundamental to Rego’s practice is her need to draw.  It underlies her method and remains at the core of all aspects of her work: paintings, pastels and prints.
The exhibition spans the last three decades and comprises approximately fifty to sixty pieces, giving rare insight into her draughtsmanship and inventiveness. It is when she is drawing that her imagination comes into play and the stories unravel.
