Dorothy Rendell @ Abbot & Holder

Dorothy Rendell established herself in Mile End Place in the ’70s, and became in every way part of the fabric of the East End. Her wonderful account of painting in the East End – East End Vernacular – was going to press the week her work was ‘re-discovered’, and so the opportunity for her to be included there was missed. She enjoyed the overwhelming reponse to her work on the Spitalfields Life blog, but died soon after. This exhibition A Forgotten East London Artist, are all from her Estate, and the first solo show of her work, which is a fitting continuation to the Spitalfields Life articles, and the East End Vernacular publication.
