Francesca Blomfield and Kit Trowbridge: Wild, Wild Wenches

and A-Muse-Ments for a Dis-Loyal Age

£315 (50% of the money raised through calendar and publication sales) was donated to Trussell Trust.
Organised by Ned Armstrong.

Francesca Dolor (b.1990, London) graduated with a BFA from Chelsea College of Art in 2012 and an MA in painting from the Royal College of Art. They have exhibited extensively across the U.K., as well as in group shows in Canada and Mexico. Solo and duo presentations include 'hello dust!', 2024, Ginny on Frederick hosting Lomex, New York (Condo London 2024), ‘Daisies’, 2020 at imlabor in Tokyo, Japan, and ‘Wild, Wild Wenches’, a zine and calendar for Middlesex Presents, 2020. Dolor received the Jerwood Painting Fellowship in 2015. Their paintings and drawings are formed of self-automated internal subject matter, which explore internal landscapes and architectures, ideas of subversion, as well as the subconscious.

Recent group exhibitions include Just Like That at Coleman Projects, London, 2023; Search Party at Tatjana Pieters, Gent, 2023; Soft Touch at Avalon Café, London, 2021; and Unorthodox Handshake at The Function Suite, London, 2020. Recent projects include DreamWorks 2 with Piccalilli / IKO in 2023 and Wild, Wild Wenches with Middlesex Presents in 2020 (co-produced with Francesca Blomfield and with support from Arts Council England).
