Bankside Gallery is drawing attention to Jione Choi Guest RWS’s ‘Summer in Turquoise’ as part of ‘Summer at Bankside Gallery 2026’, a current exhibition running from 31 July to 6 September 2026 at the London gallery. The work is listed as a handmade watercolour on paper, framed at 50 x 40 cm with an artwork size of 40 x 30 cm, and priced at £600 framed. The gallery’s exhibition page identifies the piece among the artworks in the summer presentation and shows it as available through the gallery’s online sales system.
The listing forms part of Bankside Gallery’s broader presentation of works by members of the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Society of Printmakers. On the gallery’s site, the exhibition is described as “Current exhibition” and the works page notes that it contains hundreds of artworks. The gallery also states that all framed watercolours and unique prints are available for instant online purchase, while unframed prints can also be bought online. In addition to the gallery visit, the material places the works within Bankside Gallery’s online store, reflecting the institution’s emphasis on direct sales alongside physical display.
Jione Choi Guest RWS’s ‘Summer in Turquoise’ appears in a summer-focused selection highlighted in the gallery’s newsletter, which describes “summery artworks” intended to “brighten your walls year round.” The newsletter rounds up six works from the current exhibition and pairs ‘Summer in Turquoise’ with other pieces by artists including Claire Denny RWS, Sarah Granville ARE, Liz Butler RWS, Katya Timoshenko RE and David Rees Davies ARWS. The email situates the work within a seasonal context without adding interpretive commentary beyond the gallery’s own presentation.
The artist credit on the Bankside page identifies Choi as a Guest RWS, indicating a connection with the Royal Watercolour Society. The work’s medium, a handmade watercolour on paper, aligns with the gallery’s focus on water-based media and printmaking. Bankside Gallery describes itself as a London gallery established in 1980 and says it sells affordable original artworks by elected members of the RWS and RE. Its location is given as Thames Riverside, 48 Hopton Street, London SE1 9JH, with opening hours listed as daily from 11am to 6pm during exhibitions.
The exhibition page also places ‘Summer in Turquoise’ within a numbered sequence of works in ‘Summer at Bankside Gallery 2026’, showing it as item 52 of 276 in the online exhibition listing. That numbering underlines the scale of the presentation and the extent of the gallery’s digital catalogue, which includes both sold and available works. The page for ‘Summer in Turquoise’ displays a “Sold” marker alongside the artwork entry, while the price and framing details remain visible on the listing.
Alongside the exhibition material, Bankside Gallery’s site promotes its wider online store, saying more than 800 artworks by RE and RWS members are available to purchase online. The gallery also notes that its full collection of unframed prints and paintings can be browsed and bought through the website. Within that framework, ‘Summer in Turquoise’ sits as one of the featured summer works in a presentation that runs through 6 September 2026 at Bankside Gallery in London.
