10.00am – 5.00pm

We are delighted to welcome you to the opening of our new exhibition, European Visions: Art in Transition, this Saturday, 7th February, running through to 18th April. A new year brings fresh perspectives: the gallery is brimming with eclectic works from 20th-century Europe, reflecting the shifting currents and creative experimentation, perfectly echoing the exhibition’s title.

Among the highlights, we have a number of Nafir Boaba’s works, dazzling with strong, bright colour and a confident, Picasso-esque sense of design. Yves Ganne’s paintings, spanning the 1940s to 1970s, range from vibrant figurative studies to still lifes, rendered in a wide variety of hues and tones to suit the mood.

The exhibition also features works on paper, including a signed and numbered etching by Max Ernst, several signed prints by Salvador Dalí, and two pastel abstracts by Bernhard Brodda, all of which add a lively, eclectic energy to the collection.
Join us for the opening on Saturday, 12–2pm, where drinks will be served as you explore the exhibition.
