Crashing into view, this thunderous bull elephant by award-winning artist Karen Laurence-Rowe formally invites you to our 2025 summer exhibition which opens on 12th July. It is a powerful painting, as is her entire collection of watercolours and oils, available now to view here.
“Burning Bright” is a large and vivid show of impressive sculptures and paintings as well as soft textiles, muted glass, vibrant ceramics, functional baskets and unusual jewellery. The common link is every piece is original and created by our selected artists, each with a link to Africa.
Nature and conservation are a constant theme in the gallery with many of the artists committed environmentalists. Wildlife, birds, and flora feature in much of the work, and organic materials such as wood, clay, cotton, stone and silver all add to the tactile essence of the work on show.
Anyone who loves beautiful, authentic art and craft is welcome, and we encourage you to forward this email and bring your friends. You can also peruse our website at your leisure and online purchases are welcome at any time.
