Once Upon a Time paintings by Chris Thompson 4th – 19th November

Video of the exhibition available to view here

Paintings of London and beyond stretching into the realms of fairy tales. All with a magical quality that invite story telling.

Chris took a change of direction during the pandemic and this is his second exhibition at Town House since then.
