Fine artist and former architect Neave Brown is exhibiting his life drawings at Jugglers Gallery, Hoxton in December.

As an architect, Neave headed up the Camden Town Department of Architecture, where he nurtured talent like Gordon Benson and Alan Forsyth, and was responsible for the Alexandra Road housing scheme, just off Abbey Road.

“I particularly love the simple clean lines of the flats; the sense of airy space despite their small size and low ceilings. I’ve seen interiors as diverse as Laura Ashley busy to Bauhaus austere, working equally well in these flats — they are well suited to transformation to personal taste. The walls are so thick that neighbors’ noise rarely penetrates. One of the very best features, in my opinion, is the ingenious heating system - no icy corners and draughty hallways, and no ugly radiators in sight.”
