Art space gallery rental in Cork Street, London | Galleries for rent in London

The Richmond Hill Gallery is delighted to host a retrospective exhibition by the late Frederick Gore CBE RA, featuring a selection of paintings from his celebrated career. In addition, the show together with book launch gives insight into his teaching, his techniques and his love of colour.

Highlights include Gores classic landscapes - Greece, Majorca, France and his London home and a selection of highly regarded paintings that will be premiered in the gallery. Rare works including several female nudes, still lifes and landscapes hitherto unseen have been made available to this unique retrospective show.

These diverse works capture Gores formidable talent as an artist in his handling of paint, exuberant use of colour and strong compositional structure. His idiosyncratic palette lends an energy to his painted subjects that retains immediate vitality, and prevailing contemporanaeity.

Frederick John Pym Gore was born in 1913 in Richmond, the son of Spencer Gore, a leading post-impressionist affiliated with the Camden Town Group. Widely collected, Frederick Gore is celebrated for his distinctive and unrivalled contribution to British Art.

The exhibition is set to coincide with the launch of the book Frederick Gore: Retrospective III, which includes texts and poems from friends and family and extracts from his own essay Painting: some basic principles.

Gores work is held in collections including The Royal Academy of Arts, The Rutherston Collection and the London Transport Museum.

The exhibitionwill continue at The Richmond Hill Gallery, 26 Richmond Hill, London TW10 6QX. T: 020 8940 5152

The Bigger Picture - A.A. Gill and Tom Craig 5th - 10th March 2012

From Svalbard to Chad, photographer Tom Craig and writer A.A. Gill have travelled together on assignments across four continents in the last eight years. Flaere Gallery brings together 20 unseen photographs by Tom Craig with accompanying text by A.A. Gill.

On their travels, the two connect the dots between disparate worlds - from life on a North Sea trawler to the glaciers of Greenland; encountering Tasmanian devils, Haitian hotspots and cricket matches on the streets of St Pauls. Days are punctuated by conversations about experiences past and present: Why is that Eskimo so drunk? Is that marsupial carnivorous? Are countries at war more successful fuelled on a diet of wheat or rice? Is that a bat in your curry?

In his writing, A.A. Gill often alights on the modest object, fact or observation and through it unfolds a story that speaks volubly about that place in that time. Tom Craigs photographs create the visual counterpoint, exposing the essence of people and places they come across. This is a personal story told twice; a collaboration between a writer and a photographer that demonstrates how two perspectives and two media tell such a different story from the same scene - and how together they make the narrative so much the richer.

On 1st March, The Frontline Club, Paddington will host a discussion with Tom Craig and A.A. Gill as advocates for the collaboration of a photographer and writer and its importance for the future of photojournalism.

Brady & Clark is a collaboration between two artists, Oliver Brady and Carmel Clark.

This exhibition begins life as One large art piece - The Original Creation, which fragments and divides into new pieces of art, expressions and reflections. Expanding and evolving from the original nothing, the empty canvas.

.

"However out of 'no-thing' some-thing waits to be born, it is as yet unmanifest however it contains the every-thing" The Art mimics Creation, Evolution, Oneness.

"Just as our own seperateness is an illusion, our art is a reminder of this"

It offers the viewer a contemplation of where we came from, of who and what we are.

The art is created as a metaphor of that exploration; the Connectedness of Everything.

.

This will be Brady & Clark's first exhibition in the UK.

."In its own, quite distinct, and incomparable to anything else, Kays inner calligraphic-style of painterly graffiti vibrates on solid fields of colour, producing such an incredible, all-sensorial richness, that youd think it was plugged in to the electrics. Made up of fast-flowing waters and anticipated time lapses that foresee fleeting moments in time, as caught by the Impressionists palette through the adaption of light, space and time, they are very of the moment, as Kay hopes to change time into colour".

TRIBAL PERSPECTIVES 28th September - 1st October 2011

Daphne Stephenson, Nadia Waterfield, Zarina Stewart-Clark and Natalie Stewart-Clark, are four sisters with different and distinctive styles. Having grown up together with a love for painting and the arts, each artist has found her own individual style. This exhibition is the first viewing of their work together in what will be a highly varied collection of original work.

Daphne Stephenson, the eldest daughter is one of the foremost and most prolific Primitive- Naive Artists working in Britain today. As ambassador to Naive Art she is Chairman of the Association of British Naive Artists (www.dapnestephenson.com ). Aside from several one-man shows her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, ING gallery and she was a resident artist for Masterworks Museum in Bermuda. Well travelled and now settled in Cornwall, Daphnes work is a distillation of her visual experiences. Her oil paintings are exuberant worlds of fantasy, tropical islands, lush vegetation, birds, flowers, sun and sea and exactly the kind of pictures people like to hang on their walls to breath new life into a room. Daphnes works are much sought after and hang in collections around the world.

Zarina Stewart-Clark is a landscape painter whose striking recordings of Suffolk and Scotland are lasting impressions of the dramatic skies and transient light that so inspire her paintings. She works with the unique egg tempera and traditional gesso ground, grinding her own pigments and combining them with egg yolk. This versatile paint medium enables her to paint in large sweeps of transparent colour to capture the falling light on landscape. Having trained initially as a nurse, Zarina now concentrates fully on painting and raising a family in Berkshire, where she lives. She has exhibited professionally for several years and also undertakes landscape commissions.

Nadia Waterfield owns and runs Quiddity Fine Art (www.quiddityfineart.co.uk ) a business which plans art fairs in the UK promoting both established and up and coming artists. In between organising these successful fairs, Nadia runs a variety of art workshops at Art @ The Barn in Hampshire. She still finds time to practise her love of oil painting which she says is inspired by the work of so many of the artists she represents. Nadia describes her style as, lively expressions using lots of paint. I primarily focus on landscape and still life paintings- using texture and colour.

Natalie Stewart-Clark has drawn and painted since she was a child. Three years ago she started painting more seriously following a painting holiday. Nadia encouraged her to come on board with Quiddity Fine Art. Natalie was both surprised and delighted when she sold several of her paintings quickly. One of her paintings was accepted for the RA Summer Exhibition 2011. She paints principally in acrylic and oil and sometimes in watercolour. Her subject matter is always of the outdoors and she captures the atmosphere of a scene often as an abstract representation. She works full time as a PA and paints whenever she is able.

The idea of bringing the four artistic sisters together for an exhibition came from their father, Sir Jack Stewart-Clark, who says Ever since they were growing up at our home in Sussex, Daphne, Nadia, Zarina and Natalie were surrounded by creativity and colour. Drawing books, crayons and paint brushes were always at hand with frequent drawing competitions between the four. But I think also their ingrown talent has come from my wife Lydia who is a magical interior designer. I have always loved colour, shape and form, so maybe I contributed a little as well!

Sir Jack was Chief Executive of Philips Electrical, the consumer goods arm of Dutch giant Philips in the U.K. and afterwards Member of the European Parliament for East Sussex for 20 years. He then 'retired' to Scotland to restore his family home of Dundas Castle and to create a romantic wedding and exclusive special occasion venue. No prizes for the name of who made Dundas the best decorated and cosiest castle in Scotland. Of course the four daughters often come home and draw much of their inspiration from the surrounding beauty.

CAMILLA JACKSON "Untethered" 24-29 October 2011

Presented By Jenny Blyth Fine Art

There will be 40 paintings in the exhibition which include landscapes and portraits in oil and charcoal, with prices ranging from £500 to £5,000.

Presently, Camilla is living on a cargo boat moored at Battersea Pier under the Battersea Power Station. She has embraced living on the Thames with huge enthusiasm. As well as being an artist, Camilla is a competent coxswain and travels up and down the water by rib. She then heads to her studio in Parsons Green to translate what she has seen on the river. The exhibition is titled Untethered which reflects the artists lifestyle and her broad choice of subject. Prime focus of the exhibition are stunning portraits of Longhorn cattle and bulls. Her vignettes of Battersea Power Station and Tower Bridge, and the wildlife that surrounds her, are framed in steel porthole windows and encapsulate the spirit of her life on the river. Her travels abroad are captured in paintings of Balinese Monkey and sunsets. Her portraits reflect the people who have caught her imagination.

Prior to living on the houseboat, Camilla spent six years painting in the Cotswolds where she was introduced to gypsy caravanning by a legendary horse dealer, Mark Palmer who has been a great source of inspiration for Camillas depiction of rural life, particularly the paintings of cattle. Camillas exhibition also includes still lives, and a series of reclining and seated nudes. Her beautiful lilies are painted directly onto reclaimed floor boards. Born in 1978, Camilla attended Bournemouth Art College before spending two years in Florence at the Charles Cecil School.

Camilla comes from an artistic background, her maternal grandmother, Tonie Brignall trained under John Skeaping and exhibited two sculptures in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in the 1940s. Camillas father trained as an illustrator and cartoonist. Aside from her artistic talents Camilla remains passionate about the English countryside. She made international headlines in 2002 when she rode topless, Lady Godiva style, through Parliament Square in protest at the hunting ban.

Hours:Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm.

Family Passions: Paintings by Andrew Lawson, Sculpture by Briony Lawson 21 - 27 November 2011

To celebrate 40 creative years together, Andrew and Briony Lawson will be showing a collection of paintings and sculpture at The Gallery on Cork Street. The exhibition is a culmination of two very successful artistic careers and will be the first opportunity to see some of Andrew Lawsons recent paintings. Best known as a garden photographer and writer, these new works mark a return to his earlier career. Shown alongside Brionys stone, wood and bronze sculpture, the exhibition is a showcase for a multi-talented family. Known worldwide as a garden photographer, Andrew Lawson was trained as a painter. His painting has always informed his eye behind the camera. This show, his first for 30 years, is the latest flowering of a parallel, but until now private, career in painting. On the walls will be a number of new oil paintings by Andrew. This is a welcome return to the medium for Andrew who has drawn inspiration from both his favoured woodland landscapes and more formal man-made gardens. These new works reflect Andrews deep passion for the natural world and masterly eye for composition. Family passions will mark Briony Lawsons 70th birthday and bring together a display of her lifes work as a sculptor. For over five decades Briony has worked in wood, stone and clay and has drawn much of her inspiration from the wild landscape of her native North Devon coast. She continues to work on the organic forms that surround her in nature and especially in the beautiful garden created by her husband.

Andrew has been one of the UKs leading garden photographers for the last three decades. In 2010 he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Garden Media Guild in recognition of his distinguished work. He has contributed to over 70 books, hundreds of magazine articles and taken a number of lecture series around the world. His own books include The Gardeners Book of Colour, The English Garden with Ursula Buchan and Good Planting with Rosemary Verey. As a keen gardener himself, Andrew has brought to his work an in-depth knowledge of plants. Andrew and Briony regularly open their own garden under the National Gardens Scheme.
