Louis Turpin with Anna Lambert - our recent selling show.
15th September - 14th October
Gallery 3
Louis Turpin returned to the gallery with his beautifully rendered landscapes.
This latest body of work was inspired by his recent travels. He wrote:
"This exhibition reflects three journeys I made last year. To Cornwall, to Edinburgh and finally to
Andalucia in Spain. It is completed this year by visits to gardens close at hand and travels through the landscapes surrounding Rye.
The exhibition comprises oil paintings on canvas and ink drawings on paper."
ANNA LAMBERT
Ceramicist Anna Lambert’s beautiful environmental forms accompanied the show.

'Tales From The After Life' - a selling show by Matt Hardman
20th October - 11th November
Gallery 3
Hardman’s visions of a world, just a degree or two away from the one you inhabit, gives the viewer much to consider. Arresting and thought provoking imagery, figures in landscapes are rendered in a wonderfully painterly way with a gothic sensibility.
By turns, strange and sublime, disturbing and beautiful - a world off kilter.
