We’re delighted to present a new collection from acclaimed artist Alison Pullen, painting Oxford’s Christ Church Cathedral & French restaurant Pompette. Working in-situ, Alison’s strength is to seek out a place in a room, building the collage of the interior to achieve the maximum depth and light of the space.
Alison brings Christ Church Cathedral to life in her semi-abstract style, resurrecting its historical presence. She depicts the vibrancy of the stained-glass windows and the beaming sunlight that seaps through them, the repetition in the of the black and white tile flooring contrasting with the upholstery of the red chairs.
Pompette is beautifully designed and decorated by owner Laura Wiedemann, whom has a background in fashion and textile design. The room blends a contemporary feel seamlessly with Laura’s vintage furniture finds, creating a comfortable, yet stylish dining experience. Alison Pullen has captured the rich pallet of navy, gold and green perfectly, the daylight glinting against the potted palms and glassware.
We're pleased to show a new collection of Emma Baldwin ceramics at the gallery.
In her debut collection at Sarah Wiseman Gallery, we see slender necked vases glazed in shimmering bronze, with nods to traditional Cobalt Blue and Turquoise, and oxides in the kiln that bubble into gas forming earthy textures. Emma says ‘If the kiln gods have been kind, when I lift the lid, I see magic, alchemy! I love seeing the reactions where one glaze has melded into another or run over an underlying oxide to create subtle blends or big bursts of colour.’
We are delighted to present a new Spring collection by Emily Powell. Emily has created for us a series of joyful still life motifs in her vibrant colour palette and free brush strokes.
Emily’s paintings have a sense of nostalgia about them combined with a freedom of spirit, giving a new lease of life to everyday surroundings. She has a cheerful approach to her work:
Emily says ‘I’m all about colour, letting go and having fun. I don’t believe art has to be super serious.’
In ‘New Chapter’, we see a lively floral arrangement bursting from a bird-illustrated vase. Vibrant reds, blues, and greens mark the candy pink background and the vase sits on a checkered blue tablecloth. ‘Owls & Cinnamon Buns’ invites the viewer into a charming scene of grinning owls serving fresh cinnamon buns and hot coffee, the spread accompanied with a bouquet of spring flowers.
Emily’s animated scenes are heart warming daily moments, gentle reminders to seek pleasure in simple things. Her fresh perspective energises and uplifts.
Emily’s new collection is currently hung in the lower gallery.
