Tanya Skeaping

Tanya Skeaping’s work is about shared spaces. Raised in rural England, she understood the land as co-habited terrain, moving with birds, farm animals, dogs, cats, rats, insects, and parasites as their paths crossed her own.

The Sculpture of Nicolas Moreton

Our Summer Sculpture finds a natural counterpart in paintings of the summer landscape. Works by Dominic Welch, Guy Taplin and Nicolas Moreton each carry a distinct voice: shaped, poised and rendered with luminous stillness.

CURATED Focus

Lilian Colbourn's (1897 - 1967) distinctiveness as a woman artist lies in how she bridged gendered expectations of expression with a raw, storm-driven visual language more often associated with her male contemporaries.

'Off Iquique, Chile' by Martyn R Mackrill, evokes the raw poetry of South America’s Pacific coast, a region as “possessed of a glamour which is all its own.” And so it is here: the distant town bleached by heat and dust, the air thick with history ...
