Starting in 1969, David Hepher was to spend five years painting suburban house fronts in south London. Number 22 is one of a row of Edwardian semi-detached houses in Townley Road, East Dulwich. Its front garden, panelled door, stained glass and bay windows are typical of a nostalgic kind of architecture that mushroomed in the interwar period around British towns and cities, alongside expanding transport networks. Born in Redhill, a commuter town in Surrey, Hepher studied at south London’s Camberwell School of Art, then the Slade, where he recalls the prevailing principle was that what you painted didn’t matter so much as how it was done. When he left, he immediately started painting the view from where he was living, and made subject and style inseparable.
