James Fotheringhame, Green Woodpecker, Willow', oil on linen, H 100 x 100 cm, £2000
James Fotheringhame | Nature painter
New works on showJames Fotheringhame's work is closely observed from nature, inspired by the landscape and wildlife near his home in Warwickshire. Drawing from hours of study in the field and hundreds of his photographs, his painting is the result of an intense curiosity in the natural world.
A strong interest in re-wilding the farmland that surrounds his house in the countryside has brought many rare species of birds close to his own garden. A new collection of James' work is on show in the main gallery and many of the paintings were born out of simply noting the wildlife just outside his studio window. Several feature an old pear tree and the compositions reflect the change in seasons and the birds and other creatures that inhabit it.

Lower Gallery | Amy Albright & Elly Wall
Landscape painting and ceramicsWe are delighted to present new collections from gallery artist Amy Albright, and ceramicist Elly Wall in our lower gallery. Both artists explore the natural, weathered textures or the mysterious romance of lost or abandoned dwelling places. Blurred edges and indistinct shapes are at the heart of both artists' individual works, exploring the mood, strength and silences of remote landscapes. Amy and Elly work in an intuitive way, starting with a gestural brushstroke, or a response to the material at hand.
Amy Albright joined the gallery earlier in 2021, showing a series of paintings inspired by the Cornish landscape where she lives and works. We’re delighted to welcome Elly Wall as she exhibits her ceramics here for the first time.
