George Saumarez Smith is a classical architect working in the UK.
Having been shortlisted for the Young Architect of the Year Award 2011,
he took part in an exhibition at the Architecture Foundation in London
which opened on 3rd November 2011. This involved making a large drawing
in one day, which was filmed by Ben Moore of Art Below and compressed
into a 4-minute film. The drawing is a full size detail of a bas-relief
frieze by the sculptor Alexander Stoddart, which forms part of a new
building designed by George Saumarez Smith for the art dealer Richard
Green in New Bond Street, London. See the film here

‘The purpose of my time spent working in Watts’s Great Studio
during 2011 has been to explore the idea of magnitude in painting. Watts
painted some of his greatest works in this studio, a space built
specifically to work on paintings whose magnitude had outgrown his
London studio. Watts wasn’t afraid to tackle paintings whose size and
intent were massive. The knowledge that he had carried out such work in
this space gave me the idea that working in his shadow, so to speak,
would enable me to think on a much bolder scale than before.
The confines of my domestic working environment at home hadn’t
prevented me from painting some very big watercolours in the past, but
working in Watts’s studio would give me the opportunity to explore a
grander intent in a larger space. Magnitude was, for me, the word of the
year…’ Alexander Creswell
