The Moncrieff-Bray Gallery presents its Autumn Exhibition, which takes place in our converted barn and landscaped gardens with stunning views over the Rother Valley. Both the sculpture and the art respond and reflect the landscape. From the playful animal sculptures of Adam Binder to the sweeping sublimity of John Hitchens’ landscapes, Moncrieff-Bray’s artists have a relationship with the organic and the natural. Artists and sculptors are drawn from all corners of the British Isles and work is selected with a commitment to quality, integrity, and originality from both established and emerging artists.
We are showing some new pieces from some of our long-standing artists. Diana Tonnison’s ceramics, feature boxes filled with ceramic fruit, vegetables, and fish. We are also excited to be exhibiting a selection of John Hitchens’ Scottish work. Painted in the late 1960s and early 1970s, they demonstrate Hitchens’ earlier approach to landscape painting, with an emphasis on wide landscapes and dramatic skies.
The exhibition sees several exciting new artists to the gallery, among them West Country artists David Mankin,Paul Riley, Elizabeth Hough, and Sarah Bowman. The swing and flux of the Cornish landscape inform Mankin’s expressionistic abstract paintings. Inspired by the St Ives School, Sarah Bowman’s distant landscapes are viewed through foreground windows, framing the developing narrative of a distant view.
In the garden, work by leading British contemporary stone carvers Paul Vanstone, Dominic Welch, and Aly Brown – all successful participants at the prestigious ‘On Form’ exhibition at Astall Manor – will lead the way. Inside the gallery we will be featuring new work from Adam Binder, Emma Maiden and Jason Mulligan.
This is the end
