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.

IAN WESTACOTT and RAYMOND ARNOLD
Double Vision 14 Mar - 18 Apr 2020 There is more than ‘double vision’ in the combined etchings of Raymond Arnold and Ian Westacott. There is a synergy in the work of the two long-time friends.

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? It’s always eye-poppingly detailed and enlightening: an over-crowded island after the flood, Daphne escaping Apollo’s advances by turning into a laurel, wildmen, a city of mirrors, an oligarch on tour, a vain architect. 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. Our huddle tries, and ultimately fails, to de-riddle Macdonald’s painterly fable of the absurd. They are also mesmerised by Macdonald’s mastery of Dutch and Renaissance painting,... Read more

ALLAN MACDONALD
transparency 24 Aug - 21 Sep 2019 In this wonderful new body of work Allan MacDonald furthers his exploration of untouched places and their closeness to an enduring and powerful presence.
