The Heath Robinson Museum in Pinner opened its newest exhibition this month, celebrating the work of an acclaimed illustrator with a career spanning more than 60 years.
Visitors can explore internationally acclaimed illustrator Ralph Steadman’s work in the Ralph Steadman: INKling exhibition until Saturday, May 10.
The exhibition explores four key areas of Steadman’s work. This includes illustrations for literary classics including Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland and Animal Farm; children’s illustrations dating from 1963 through to his latest card game, The Ralphabet; and works from his decade-long collaboration with filmmaker and conservationist Ceri Levy, which has produced 300 original artworks featuring endangered birds and animals.
Finally, there is a substantial selection of works from his long-running collaboration with American writer Hunter S. Thompson.
Talking to the museum, Ralph said: “It’s great to see all these pieces on display after so long; some are more than 60 years old, and I cannot even remember drawing some of them.
“I have been lucky, I suppose, that I have been able to work in such a variety of areas. I have been able to travel all over the world for my work and that has been a great pleasure – lots of fun.”
