25 / 30

Our 25 / 30 exhibition is  a celebration of 25 and 30 years of our two galleries, Curwen Gallery and New Academy Gallery, being on Windmill Street. To commemorate the occassion we have asked each of our gallery artists to make one piece for this show, making this exhibition a good representative of the gallery as a whole.
Michele Noach The Last Flake, lenticular, £1500

Over 50 different artists are included in the exhibition, with a total of 78 different works on display.It is also worth remembering that in most cases we will have a larger selection of each artists work below stairs in the gallery storage.If you see a particular piece you like, feel free to ask to see other work that we hold by that artist.

 From my own observations one of the most popular paintings in the show would be John Brokenshire's Red Pike. It is one of John's most impressive paintings to date and now sits in our window, luring people in from the street.Another very popular piece is Disc (pictured below) by president of the Royal British Society of Sculptors; Johannes von Stumm .This piece is an exceptional piece of work, joining five very different materials into a segmented disc.It is a technically accomplished sculpture with a real presence in the room.

Johannes von Stumm, Disc,
stainless steel, bronze, glass, granite & limestone, £5800
