various works by Norman Ackroyd

[stanestreet]

Norman’s Conquest: the Bermondsey studio of etcher Norman Ackroyd (March 26, 1938–September 16, 2024).

It is on the top-floor living quarters that one gets a full sense of Ackroyd’s life and work, which seem inextricable. A Bechstein grand piano once winched up via crane is flanked by a museum-worthy selection of works on paper. Prints by Francisco de Goya, Paula Rego, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall are displayed alongside children’s crayon sketches and a charcoal drawing by his mother. All of them have a story to tell.
