Thur–Sun 11–4.30 www.stanleyspencer.org.uk t 01628 471885 (info & group bookings) Richard Twose ‘Yellow Dress’ oil on canvas, 90 x 100cm Bath Contemporary (see listing on facing page) Ruth Stage ‘Rosebeds’ Ruth Stage is something of a phenomenon among contemporary landscape painters, using the apparently painstaking technique of egg tempera on white gesso to achieve remarkably fluid, virtuoso effects of light, pattern and texture, with more vivid colour being achieved by the use of pure colour mixed in the egg-yolk. It has won her a remarkable following and considerable critical success, culminating last year in winning First Prize in the Lynn Painter Stainers’ Prize, but success does not seem to have undermined the quiet, critical integrity of the work as this latest show at the Russell Gallery (map 17) makes plain, her views of London parks especially revealing of the sensitivity of her technique to the particularities of London light.
