JANE MACNEILL
The Silence of Mountains 15 Aug - 5 Sep 2020 These are the mountains of my childhood, the hills of home. They are ancient, weathered, and rounded by retreating ice; the colours they reflect are dictated by their geology, by the plants that manage to grow on them, by the quality of snow and ice, and by water. Although I have walked countless times amongst them, it is their distance that moves me. Read more

ANN ORAM
A Journey in Colour 14 Mar - 18 Apr 2020 There is a joy in Ann Oram’s work. Not just from her obvious skills. Indeed, few artists in Britain are as technically masterful as Oram.

ROBERT POWELL
Bound for other Isolations 28 Sep - 26 Oct 2019 You put the magnifying glass up to a Robert Powell etching and what do you see?

These... Read more

ALAN MACDONALD
Journeys into the Unknown 28 Sep - 26 Oct 2019 It is common to see a huddle of admirers in front of an Alan Macdonald painting; the on-lookers savouring the painting’s almost theatrical performance.
