Medway Swimming Club
A raw and visceral oil on linen painting by Billy Childish depicting the Medway Swimming Club, rendered in his characteristically bold, expressionistic brushwork. Childish's unfussy, direct approach brings an intimate and nostalgic quality to the scene, evoking the gritty yet tender memories of working-class English life. The painting pulses with emotional authenticity, reflecting Childish's deeply personal connection to his hometown of Medway in Kent.
