The Alchymical Garden of Michael Foy by Sean Jefferson () unfolds as a landscape where fairy lore, alchemy, Symbolism, and the unseen quietly converge. Inspired by the Splendor Solis, its paintings and texts invite us into a distinctly British visionary tradition—one in which images become portals, gardens become grimoires, and the familiar world reveals deeper, stranger currents beneath its surface.

Rich, haunted, and quietly luminous, this is a work for anyone who believes that art can still carry mystery.

Wake of Sargent – The de Glehn and Monod Painting Circle
Continues through June at David Messum Fine Art
--
This major exhibition of paintings, drawings, and studies traces an extraordinary shared working life shaped by Parisian training, Sargent’s example, and the sustained light of the south of France. Moving from early Paris formation to the interwar summers based in Cannes, we bring together landscapes, harbour scenes, portraits, figure studies, and still lifes made inside a close, transatlantic circle.

Jane de Glehn (1873-1961) Tenderra, St Anthony's, Cornwall, oil on board, 38 x 48 cm | £7,850

NOW OPEN
In Wake of Sargent
The de Glehn and Monod Painting Circle
—
John Singer Sargent’s influence on Wilfrid de Glehn, Jane de Glehn and their cousin Lucien Monod, lay less in subject matter than in a way of working: direct, mobile, and alert to the living structure of light. Through Sargent, they became part of a transatlantic circle in which painting was inseparable from travel, friendship, and repeated return. The habit of setting up easels together, moving from city to garden to coast, and treating each place as a temporary studio helped shape the rhythm of their lives.

CURATED : Jean-Marie Toulgouat ⁠(1927-2006)
Live Online at 10:00 today through our LINK BELOW
--⁠
Jean-Marie Toulgouat was the last remaining link with Claude Monet at Giverny.⁠
⁠
Always with an eye for colour and light, and the pursuit of the beauty of the natural world, his spontaneity and controlled fluency combine in his paintings. His is an Impressionism that stems from the ‘family business’ which is deeply intertwined in the complex history of Giverny.⁠
⁠
To coincide with RHS Chelsea Flower Show () this selection of 15 works, connects collectors and horticulturists, to witness the personal evolution of a unique artist whose true legacy has remained in the shadows, until now. ⁠
