Brocket Hall Unveils new modern art Exhibition

In a dynamic collaboration between the stately home - Brocket Hall and the Chelsea-based Cadogan Contemporary art gallery, an outstanding exhibition of paintings is on show in the naturally perfect setting for the leisurely contemplation of contemporary art.

The exhibition, which is held in the Watershyppes building in the heart of the Brocket Hall estate, signals the first of many such events that will feature the best contemporary British and international artists curated by the respected gallery.

The main contributors to the first exhibit are leading British landscape artists Louise Balaam and Janette Kerr, two of the most respected contemporary painters of the genre, and both members of the prestigious Royal West of England Academy. Their techniques and inspirations differ, but both artists create energetic and compelling works of art. Louise Balaam’s canvasses draw on the English landscape tradition exemplified by Turner and Constable. Intensely atmospheric and emotional, they are a fresh response to a quintessentially familiar environment. 

Founder of Cadogan Contemporary, Christopher Burness, says: 'The aesthetic sensibilities of our gallery are quite wide ranging - from representational landscape painting to abstraction. The first series we are presenting at Brocket Hall are landscape and figuratively based. We hope to introduce a wider range of the gallery's artists as time goes on.'
