Annabel Menheneott - 1-31 August 2021

Annabel’s talent and interest in paintings may have been inherited from her maternal great grandfather, Rowland Hill, a Royal Academician and founder member of the Staithes Group of Artists. The daughter of a Royal Marine, her fathers’ work enabled the family to travel widely and often live by the sea - an obvious influence of her work. rnHer works are in private collections internationally and following a successful exhibition in Monaco; the prestigious Monaco Yacht Club has purchased two of her paintings where they now hang in their permanent collection. rnMost of her works are abstract in nature, many of them contain sufficient hints of realism leaving the admirer the chance to delve deeper into each scene, filling in the blanks with their own favourite spots by the sea or perhaps conjuring up their own imagined hideaway. rnAnnabel’s paintings communicate an atmosphere; some convey a feeling of emptiness and vastness whilst others suggest a feeling of calm.

Kate Richardson - 1-30 June 2021

Kate, originally from Guildford, came to Cornwall 15 years ago and quickly fell in love with it. The county has a long history of art and the abundance of galleries in the area sparked a dormant creative desire, so she embarked on building a body of work in her own unique style.Working with oil and mixed media, Kate’s abstract collection is a unique expression of freedom bound by minimal use of colour, yet boundless in its imagination. Each original piece is uncompromised and unlimited. Complex, textured shades support geometry without borders. Shapes and colours emerge and fade with gentle subtlety, inspired by the infinite sub-conscious mind and providing compelling drama. Her work carries a strong emotional element and she describes painting as simultaneously cathartic, meditative, explorative and exhilarating.

Mike Bernard RI - 28th March to 11th April 2020

Mike is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour (RI) and has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. He uses mixed media, collage, acrylics and pastel in his beautiful and often complex paintings. As a base, these mediums allow him to create abstract structures that initially develop independently, before falling into place in the overall composition. This method allows pictures to evolve their own personality as they progress. The exhibition includes powerful and arresting studies of the Polruan and the Fowey Estuary and scenes taken from his wider travels. The exhibition will be displayed here in full from Sunday 8th March and will be able to purchase from that date.

John Brenton - 1st to 15th December 2018

Remarkably this will be the eighteenth successive year that we have hosted a solo exhibition with John. During that time he has established himself as a leading contemporary land and seascape artist and has exhibited at both the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and with the Royal Society of British Artists. Painting en plein air, John can often be found battling the elements on a Cornish cliff top or dodging the incoming tide as he works to capture a scene. Predominantly working in oils, he employs a technique that uses both palette knife and brush. This gives his work a richly textured, vibrant style, so full of energy that it transports you to these evocative locations.

Starting with sketches often drawn from his own photographs, each piece is hand cut. By presenting an image using two simple media, light birch and dark paint, your mind’s eye is free to create its own perspective. “Shapes become forms and spaces, taking us to familiar places.”
