Current Exhibitions

We currently have two exhibitions showing at the gallery.Downstairs we have a large retrospective solo show of Albany Wiseman and in the upstairs space, a smaller group show from Derek, Lawrence and Gerald Mynott.

Albany Wiseman, showing downstairs, has a remarkable selection of work from his many years as a practising artist.Albany works from life in oil, print and watercolour taking inspiration from towns and countrysides in which he has lived ;  England, Portugal, Ireland and France.

The Mynotts are a family of lithographic printers;the father Derek and two brothers,Lawrence and Gerald.The prints show two generations of quite similar working habits, focusing on figurative scenes from the artist's extensive travels.Stylistically all three relatives are quite close to each other with Derek and Gerald making carefully observed scenes of parks, gardens and landmarks and Lawrence producing slightly poppier still lifes.
