It’s definitely a day for the waterproofs - especially if you’re concert or match bound. Friday’s featured work from the the 196th RHA Annual Exhibition, in association with McCann FitzGerald, appropriately entitled Rain, is by Arthur Mathews (details in alt text).

A weathered stone marker with carved symbols stands next to an old stone wall. It is surrounded by dry orange leaves on the ground, suggesting autumn.

Carved into a weathered stone, a benchmark symbol appears with three lines below a horizontal line. Lush green grass and leaves surround the stone.

A tall, gothic-style church with a pointed spire and stone facade stands against a partly cloudy sky, casting a serene and majestic presence.

A gray brick wall displays a survey benchmark symbol engraved on one brick. The sidewalk in front casts a shadow, creating a calm urban atmosphere.
