Maggi Hambling CBE is known as one of our greatest living artists, but fewer people are aware that she is also an exceptional teacher. This landmark exhibition celebrates 55 years of Maggi’s teaching at Morley College London, where she has taught painting and drawing classes since 1969. To celebrate her decades of work at Morley, Maggi has selected more than thirty of her students - past and present - for a group exhibition at Morley Gallery. As well as works by Maggi herself, the show includes contributions from artists Cecily Brown, Tory Lawrence and Jelly Green, and broadcaster Anneka Rice.
An artist of international fame, a passionate educator, and a formidable personality, Maggi’s 55 years teaching at Morley have seen hundreds of students benefit from her skill and experience. It is a partnership between artist and institution that has enriched not just Morley, but the wider art world in incalculable ways.
