Arabella Shand, Steve Henderson & Lucy Lutyens

Renowned painter Arabella Shand creates exciting depictions of people, still lives and landscapes through bright colours and wild patterns. The beautiful wooden sculptures of Stephen Henderson capture the playful and dazzling elegance of birds. Tying them together was the presence of Lucy Lutyens’ abstract bronze sculptural forms, sharply minimalist but following the same free flowing lines and shapes of both Shand and Henderson.

Numberless Points by Charlotte Bernays
22nd August - 13th September
Installation artist Charlotte Bernays' work is concerned with form in motion and with motion within form. She works in an experimental and exploratory manner to find materials and ways of making with which to express her preoccupation with mass and energy, configuration and reconfiguration, referencing natures ‘dramas’, on both the microcosmic and the macrocosmic scale. She pushes the boundaries of her practice in order to produce emotive, abstract works of art.
