City Girl by Simon Fleeman

Exhibition - Simon Fleeman: A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

In this small intimate exhibition Devon artist, Simon Fleeman, explores the infinite possibilities of digital art to present a very different perception of the visual interpretation of people’s views and attitudes towards sex, gender, nudity and indifference. Beautifully drawn, these artworks will challenge your own perceptions.

His raw, stripped-back Pop Art form, using only a limited amount of tools and colours to create simple, minimalistic abstract shapes and spaces, almost cartoonish or toylike in execution, helps make his subject matter visible and acceptable.

Anthony Amos - Sketch of Men Pulling in a Boat

Exhibition : Anthony Amos - SHIP TO SHORE

Although Anthony Amos is recognised for his wonderful seascapes and maritime paintings, which were inspired by over twenty years working at sea, he also had a strong affinity to the English countryside defined by his work as a farm labourer when he was not at sea.

His landscape paintings usually feature horses, trees and farm animals, often presenting a gentler view compared to the excitement and danger of life at sea. Still recognisable though is the way he captures the strength of the horses as they pull a plough or bring in a lifeboat, or the humour and endearing nature of cows...

Chasing the Light – Lympstone to Land’s End

Palace of Westminster by Jean Jones

Exhibition by Jean Jones - Beyond Dartmoor

The discovery of the work of Jean Jones (1927 – 2012) in a small cottage on Dartmoor has become something of a phenomenon.

Over the past three years we have been showing work by this extraordinary artist and helping to reclaim her rightful place in the History of Art. So far the gallery has focused primarily on her paintings of the expansive Dartmoor landscape she loved. This new exhibition introduces a collection of previously unseen paintings which were made beyond Dartmoor – in Oxford and London.

Jean Jones lived in Oxford for most of her adult life...

Julie Ellis - Velvet Vista

Exhibition by Julie Ellis - Chasing the Light

My work is all about the light. I love experimenting with dark and shade and seeing where each painting takes me. I feel this new collection has a light - almost summery - feel to it which I have really enjoyed creating.

Julie Ellis is an artistic powerhouse. Her work ethic and discipline must make her one of the hardest working artists in the country. Not only has she completed her Masters Degree at the University of Plymouth but she has also continued to create and produce a fantastic body of work to present to the public.

Julie never...

Exhibition by Joe Webster - Amongst the Bluebells

Mankind's relationship with the natural world is brought into focus with a beautiful and subtle depiction of the local Devon landscape, ultimately sounding a celebration of life.

Joe Webster's 2022 bluebell paintings are both a continuation of his two decades of experience and observation in nature while also marking an evolution in his unique landscape-graffiti style.
