Brocket Hall Unveils
its Spring 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.
And in further contrast there is a singular selection of the work of Israeli artist Itzchak Tarkay in a piece titled, ‘The Fiancée’ - a delicately drawn study evoking contemplation and serenity, striking yet another chord within this lively experience.
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.'
