Kate Westbrook - Writing the Song

Exhibition by Kate Westbrook - Writing The Song

Kate has had a distinguished career both as an artist and as a singer with her husband, international jazz composer and musician, Mike Westbrook . Together they have travelled the world and recently completed a stint at Ronnie Scott's in London but Kate says this new exhibition is more nerve-...

Barry Kelly - Satori Sky

Exhibition by Barry Kelly - Satori Skies

The Brownston Gallery is celebrating it's 10th anniversary this year with a series of special exibitions and Barry Kelly who has been with them from the beginning is one of their most successful young artists.

Barry's new collection of work portrays his love and appreciation of nature, and in particular the healing properties of the ocean. This is reflected in his use of a softer palette of colour, misty pinks and gentle blues, revealing huge pastel skies that seem to go on forever, blurring the line between sky and sea, between the present and the future. Each painting is full of...

Anthony Amos - Through The Surf

Exhibition of Paintings by Anthony Amos - Far Horizons

Influenced by Rembrandt and Turner, Anthony Amos's paintings have a unique raw power that is impossible to ignore. It takes someone very special to take an old rusting hull and turn it into a thing of beauty. And yet that is exactly what the late marine artist Anthony Amos (1950-2010) did in his stunning paintings. Drawing on his vast experience of life at sea, Amos created beautiful paintings that bring to life scenes from a bygone era. Anthony Amos was born in Bristol in 1950. At the age of 16 he joined the Merchant Navy and spent the next twenty five years at sea working on trawlers,...

Teresa Pemberton : Aeonium Lake

Exhibition: Teresa Pemberton - Echoes of Colour & Light

There is a very good reason Teresa Pemberton is one of our most popular artists and you only have to look at this collection of new work to see why. Her colours are simply beautiful. Soft hues of pastel blues and pinks shimmer alongside glistening turquoise and purples. A splash of neon pink, or zinging orange brings the impressionist landscape into focus, allowing the viewer to capture shapes and colours hitherto unseen.

Teresa is masterful in her approach to applying paint to canvas; her strokes are confident and sure as she draws you into her world of cool lily ponds, sparkling...

Buttercups at Ide by Joe Webster

Marks of Nature Exhibition

Our first Exhibition of the year brings together three very different artists from the south west, John Grice , Joe Webster and Ellie Verrecchia , who each have a true love of the natural world which they celebrate in their paintings. Their landscapes and seascapes of the local coastline and countryside are exceptional. John has produced some fantastic new work. Joe likes to mix things up with a bit of street art giving an edge to his paintings, and Ellie's gentle works on paper are breathtakingly beautiful.
