Art exhibitions in London: everything you need to see in April 2026

Roy Oxlade, who was taught by David Bomberg, emerged in the 1950s alongside other School of London artists including Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff – and was Rose Wylie’s husband; the studio that she paints in was once his. Their work shares a directness, a joyfulness, and an interest in capturing domesticity, ritual and daily life – and thanks to Alison Jacques, W1, we’re being given an opportunity to compare their output almost side by side (Rose’s show at RA will have closed by the time this opens, but if you can retain her vast paintings in your mind’s eye…) This exhibition spans 30 years of his practice – and coincides with the publication of the first monograph on the artist.
