A Painting Life - The Book
The first substantial monograph on the artist, Romi Behrens, will be published in September 2024.
A Painting Life consists of a foreword by Chris Stephens, director of the Holburne Museum, Bath, a substantial essay by Rachel Rose Smith, specialist on the St Ives School, a short essay by artist and curator, David Ward, and other pieces by Alice Mumford and more friends of the artist.
It also includes high resolution images of over 100 paintings, many of which have not been seen before, and archival photographs that tell the story: Becoming Romi Behrens.
The monograph will become available at the private view of a one-woman show at Tremenheere Gallery, near Penzance, on 12th September. The show runs for just over two weeks.
