British modernist artists who covered quite such a wide range of artistic media through the course of their career – from abstract paintings and reliefs to photography and theatre design via stained glass, ceramics and textiles. Drawing on over 40 years of association with the artist – he lived just up the road from their Henley base – has allowed the Bohun Gallery (map 14) to source examples from almost all these areas for their latest show of his work. Among the treasures is a never previously seen double-sided canvas with a Christ risen from Emmaus on one side and The Twin Chapels of Seion on the other! The show is particularly strong on his architectural and landscape studies, through which, as Betjeman observed, Piper did much to help save for posterity. NU THUMB nails
