This month in the main gallery we are showing an exhibition of the landscapes
and seascapes of three established artists; Jane Corsellis, Richard Pikesley
and David Poole. Each artist has been chosen for this exhibition because of an
outstanding ability to capture the essence of a natural environment in
traditional mediums, including oil on canvas, watercolour and pastel drawing.
David Poole is particularly well known for his portraits, having undertaken portrait commissions for many members of the Royal Family including The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Queen Mother. His landscapes are rarely seen but much admired by those few who have been lucky enough to view them in his home. This exhibition is one of the rare occasions that this aspect of his work has been displayed in a gallery setting.

Jane Corsellis had many solo exhibitions with the New
Academy Gallery between 1985 and 2004. Many of these were hugely successful and
she acquired countless admirers and collectors of her paintings. Jane shares
her time between London and Pembrokeshire, where she has had a house and a
studio for many years. Many of her new landscapes in this show are based on
scenes from around her studios in Pembrokeshire and London.

Richard Pikesley exhibited at the Curwen/New Academy
Gallery many years ago and it is with great pleasure that we welcome him back. His
stunning oil paintings capture the beauty of sunlit coastlines of various UK
locations, including Dorset and Cornwall.He is an active member of the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club.
