FAR WEST: Our July show at the Summerhouse

Far West sees a collective of exciting new artists explore the magic of West Cornwall. For centuries, the beauty and myth of the area has inspired artists to create in homage to the wild green moorland, which rolls down to the rugged coastline and the calm lap of waves on the shoreline, or tempestuous stormy oceans. All set against that magical light which can only be found here.

Featuring Kit Johns, Helen Jones, Jack Davis and Jade Bowmer, with sculpture by Tom Leaper and ceramic work by Jake Boex the show will comprise of an array of mediums, techniques and voices; juxtaposing to create a bright, dynamic and magical celebration of this beautiful place we call home.

The show opens with a private view on Thursday 12th July and will run from the 13th-26th, our online catalogue will be available soon.

Kate Richardson debuts a new, abstract style at The Summerhouse

New Directions

We are excited to launch 'The Lower Deck' at The Summerhouse, a new, intimate and beautiful space at the rear of the gallery. To celebrate this we are holding a show for Kate Richardson.

'New Directions' focuses on Kates journey into the abstract. The work is a unique expression of freedom bound by minimal use of colour but boundless in its imagination. Through blending a limited yet dramatic pallette of bold colour and ethereal light with dynamic texture; Kates work takes you on a journey into the realms of the celestial.

"I’m now working with new textures and layers, rusts and patinas. The freedom to experiment and create from the heart without constraint is truly liberating. I’ve never been more excited as an artist'

The show will be held in our 'lower deck' and will begin on Sunday the 10th of June at 2pm, with drinks and nibbles and a chance to meet Kate and hear firsthand the inspirations behind this stunning new body of work.
