It’s very hard to pick a favourite from the collection of pieces Tricia Crowther delivered for the current exhibition, but if you had to twist my arm it would be this one ☝️- no matter your knowledge base, when it comes to picking your favourites there is an intangible pull to certain pieces when you walk into a space. I can ask anyone who comes in to pick a favourite and without fail they will give you (at least) one even if they can’t explain why. It’s an absolute pleasure and privilege sharing those conversations.

Another blockbuster, this time by Marian Hyland - I found Marian’s work through our annual open competition and knew immediately her work would fit perfectly in the gallery. This piece was the first I placed when curating the current ‘Surface and Form’ exhibition… essentially curating everything else around this painting… something that I’d absolutely recommend doing with your own spaces.

- part of the current ‘Surface and Form’ exhibition which continues until the 17th October.

Layers 1 by Simon Hawkes - Raised using reclaimed copper. One of those pieces that made me audibly wow when the photo landed in my inbox and then a few Oohs and Aahs when I unwrapped it after delivery ….and I’m still in Awe of this stunning piece of work a few weeks later.

A few more installation shots from the current ‘Surface and Form’ exhibition. Which I’m pleased to say has now been extended- it now closes on the 17th October so still a few weeks to catch it! For those of you who are too far away for a visit, all of the work from the show is on the website.

A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along to support the launch of our latest exhibition, It’s always so rewarding to see the gallery so full of life after weeks of work behind the scenes to get the gallery ready! I’m absolutely delighted to share that the full catalogue of works from the current ‘Surface and Form’ show have now been uploaded to the website.

We’re now back open as usual now…. Thursday - Sunday 10-5pm. Looking forward to showing more of you around tomorrow!

As well as a quite a few new artists in the upcoming show- we also have a few gallery regulars including 5 new, modestly sized but perfectly formed paintings by the brilliant Nina Archer - it’s always such a pleasure seeing Nina’s work in the gallery. I’ve started to get work on the walls now and the exhibition is coming together really nicely. The launch event is this Saturday 29th August 2-4pm and we hope you can join us for the celebrations🎉🥂

There are 10 new artists (and 5 gallery regulars) exhibiting in the upcoming ‘Surface and Form’ exhibition which opens this Saturday 2-4pm. All were chosen to take part in this year’s exhibition programme as part of last year’s open call, including last year’s winner - Ruth has produced 6 beautiful paintings for the show which is now starting to take shape and looking super exciting. I hope you can join us this weekend for the launch event which is a brilliant chance to meet the artists and chat about their work in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Hope to see you there!
