Turbocharged neoclassicism

“The Three Classicists” – Ben Pentreath, George Saumarez Smith and Francis Terry – have been having a good month of it, what with their well-received exhibition at the RIBA and a sold-out lecture chaired by RIBAJ editor Hugh Pearman. 

But they had one more trick up their well-tailored sleeves: rolling those sleeves up and making a giant collaborative wall drawing over the course of just one day.

Ben Moore of the ArtBelow initiative filmed the entire day, then cut it all into one five-minute superfast movie. Here it is – we think it’s brilliant, as did the audience at the RIBA. Enjoy!
