SUMMARY:Leonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary at Newlands House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:12 JULY 26 OCTOBER 2024 \nWednesday to Saturday 10am – 5pm \nSunday 11am – 4pm \n\n\n\nIn May 2024 Leonora Carrington became the most successful female artist in UK history\, in terms of sales: her painting Les Distractions de Dagobert (1945) was sold at Sotheby’s in New York for USD$28.5 million. \nHer legacy is now on a new footing.  Last year\, the Wall Street Journal predicted she would be the next Frida Kahlo.  Like Kahlo\, Carrington’s life was as surreal as her paintings; like Kahlo\, she drew heavily on her own extraordinary experiences in her work.\nFor many years\, this eventful life story – especially her love affair with Max Ernst\, and her spell in a Spanish asylum\, which fascinated others in her Surrealist circles – have been central to discussions of her work.  But Carrington was no muse.  As she said: “I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse… I was too busy rebelling against my family and learning to be an artist.” \n\n\n\nLeonora Carrington: Rebel Visionary (12 July – 26 October) will re-examine her work in the light of her posthumous success.  An artist who broke boundaries and created imaginative new worlds. Carrington was – like all the greats – a creator in many different directions.  As her long-time friend and patron Edward James said:  “She…never relinquished her love of experimentation; the results being that she [was] able to diversity and explore a hundred or more techniques for the expression of her creative powers.” \nThis summer\, Newlands House Gallery in Petworth\, Sussex brings together a wide range of Carrington’s work\, to show the span of her output across a wide range of media. Loans will include a wall of masks; a series of masks made for a theatrical production of The Tempest in the 1950s; original lithographs; tapestries; sketches; sculptures; jewellery – and of course paintings.  Together they will show the full range of Carrington’s prolific and original output\, across a career that spanned eight decades. \nAs the feminist art collective The Guerrilla Girls wryly commented\, being a woman artist comes with certain advantages: these include being able to work without the pressures of success\, and discovering your career picks up in your eighties. \nToday\, more than a decade after her death in May 2011\, Carrington’s time has come.  Newlands House Gallery will focus on the breadth\, the variety and the extraordinary imagination of work across her eight-decade career.   \n– Joanna Moorhead\, Exhibition Curator

SUMMARY:Town & Country Exhibition at Ottocento
DESCRIPTION:21 SEPTEMBER – 26 OCTOBER 2024 \nMonday: By appointment \nTuesday: 10am – 5pm \nWednesday: 10am – 5pm \nThursday: 10am – 5pm \nFriday: 10am – 5pm \nSaturday: 10am – 4pm \nSunday: Closed \nThis visual journey through time showcases a curated selection of works by various artists from the 17th to the 20th Century. The exhibition delves into the dynamic tension between urban life and rural landscapes\, capturing the essence of human experience in both bustling cities and tranquil countrysides. \nWe will curate the exhibition to highlight the contrast between old and new\, pairing a work by Claude Joseph Vernet\, the master of the Grand Tour\, with modern pieces\, including Bryan Ingham’s striking abstract collage. Both works are inspired by the Italian landscape but differ greatly in essence. The exhibition will also feature a collection of mid-century works by Phyllis Bray\, showcasing woodland and coastal scenes\, alongside three depictions of London by Gerald Rose\, focusing on The Regent’s Canal in the late 1950s. \nOur most recent acquisition is a significant piece by the surrealist artist and poet Bruno Capacci\, titled Comedia dell’Arte (1935)\, which depicts entertainers in an Italian square. Capacci\, who was married to Suzanne van Damme\, befriended and exhibited with many of the greatest artists of his time\, including Jules Breton\, Giacometti\, Cocteau\, Ernst\, Man Ray\, Calder\, Miró\, Marcel Duchamp\, Federico Fellini\, Gorky\, Picabia\, and Tanguy\, among others. This early work is one of his most important\, reflecting both his admiration for the perspective of Renaissance masters and his engagement with the modern avant-garde. \nThe exhibition will run until 26th October.  We look forward to welcoming you.
