Current Exhibition

Andrew Roberts

IF NOT HERE, WHERE

18th March - 16th April 2023

Andrew Roberts is a British ‘plein air’ artist exploring paint, light, contemporary life and living. His rich and gestural paintings depict diverse landscapes across the UK and Europe.

Painted outdoors in situ, ‘en plein air’, and always in square format, the works take on the physicality of their subjects through rich impasto surfaces, dynamic glazing techniques, and romantic, opulent palettes. They are highly evocative of the atmosphere of the landscape, captivating viewers and transporting them to another place and time.

Andrew’s current paintings have been painted all over UK in parts of Cornwall, Sussex, Surrey and Somerset, also on his recent trips to Brittany in France and Morocco.

We are thrilled to be able to showcase another solo show from this wonderful artist who last exhibited with us here in 2018 with his solo show ‘If Not Now, Then When’.
