For one day only FIG presents Rosie McGuinness, the second artist to exhibit new work as part of the FIG Unframed programme at FIG at The Shop at Bluebird, Carriage Hall, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9DP.

McGuinness will present a large group of figurative works made at the point where fashion drawing meets life drawing. With an economy of line few can match McGuinness studies form and through line creates pattern, shape and style. She invokes Henri Matisse and Jean Cocteau at the altar of High Fashion and Art School Life Class.
