Up-and-coming art exhibitions
Art lovers will be pleased to hear that there are lots of chances to view local exhibitions now or in the near future.
theartagency.co.uk are returning to The Landmark Arts Centre to host their Christmas show this weekend, 3rd to 5th December. This ‘rolling art gallery’ launched their business at this venue over the May Day bank holiday weekend earlier this year and were so impressed with the venue as a stunning backdrop for their art work that they have decided to make it a bi-annual event.
At this show there will be an even wider range of art work available to browse including land and seascapes from Nick Andrew, Felicity Keefe, Roy Avis and Katharine Le Hardy, award winning figurative work by Paul Lemmon and Rachel Mortimer, abstract art by Guymer and Esther Hartley, still lifes from Jane Askey and Tanja Moderscheim, varied photography work including an exclusive selection from New Zealand photographer Greg Miller-Hard, a selection of contemporary watercolours from Jake Winkle and much more.
Doors will be open from 10am to 5pm Friday and Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. Prices range from £150 to £3500 for original work. Admission is free and the cafe will be open at selected times. You can also apply for private view tickets to the exhibition on Friday here.

The Gallery at Hand Made Frames (Stanley Road) is currently displaying an exhibition called ‘Kandinsky To Moore’ – which includes an impressive collection of original lithographs and woodcuts by some of the biggest names in modern European art.
Gallery owner Daniel Gask: “My aim is to give local art lovers the opportunity to admire and acquire collectible exquisite originals at a reasonable prices. Normally art of this quality is only available in the West End. Great care has been taken to frame each print sympathetically using the latest conservation materials.. This is a lovely collection of images that must be seen.”
Artists work includes Kandinsky, Chagall, Miro, Calder, Ernst, Matisse, Moore and more! The exhibition runs from 25th November to 24th December.
The centrally-located Architects Gallery is currently exhibiting two talented artists in its unique and quirky space – Anne Pen Sweet and Marcella Cinkova.
Anne grew up in Australia where the power and scale of the landscape was a formative and lasting influence on her work. Her travels through her home country and then throughout Asia, England and America fed her fascination for remote and wild places. She describes herself as “drawn to the silence of the desert and the mountains” which is exemplified in her work which captures feelings of stillness, space and timelessness.
Marcella was born in a small town in the Czech Republic. She completed her Masters degree and creates glass items which include vases and bowls, as well as painting on flat glass, canvas and hard board.
