Introducing the latest stunning originals from DAVID JAMES. Dramatic skies and beautiful reflections are a feature of this landscape and seascape artist. David currently lives in Sussex on the coast, within reach of the South Downs, so being local we can all relate to the atmospheric coastal scenes he creates.

Introducing a completely new style from SUZY GEE, influenced by Viveros, these originals are simply spellbinding. Suzy is a local artist based in Worthing. Although she has drawn and painted all her life it wasn't until she had a mental breakdown about 5 years ago and started going to a wonderful place for counselling where art was used as therapy, that she started learning to paint seriously. She found that she could use her paintings as her voice and that she has a lot to say!
"I like painting lots of different things as I have a million ideas in my head at any one time. From funny to controversial, anything that can provoke a reaction is what I like most!"
Suzy is definitely one to watch, her style is constantly growing and evolving....
We are delighted to introduce some lovely nostalgic sketches of children form KEITH PROCTOR. He puts the children and youngsters very much at the centre of his works of art, displaying a knack for framing his joyful subjects in timelessly innocent, playful, adventurous poses. They more often than not feature his son Jack and a family friend's daughter Lily but of course we in turn relate to them as our children or grand children up to mischief.
We look forward to seeing you in the gallery soon or please continue to get in touch by phone, e-mail, Facebook or Instagram.

Gary Walton

Introducing the latest limited editions from GARY WALTON featuring his quirky boats and houses. He says: "After being given an opportunity to explore and pursue my artistic skills I wanted to be different from all the other artists so started to develop my own unique personal style. It's very whimsical, romantic and happy; quirky, two-dimensional with a slight intriguing air of fantasy combined with a twist of reality within." They certainly make us smile and we hope you enjoy them too.

Tom Butler

Tom Butlers technique and style have evolved enormously over the years. Especially when he began introducing mixed media into work with a method of transferring photocopied material onto any surface. This technique is integral for Tom to create his show stopping collages using a whole range of materials; in his imaginative hands a section of a crossword puzzle may become a block of flats, a wine bottle, or a church spire, and this unique approach adds intrigue, resonance and a touch of humour to every scene. Please visit the website to view the range of his work that we have available.

We look forward to seeing you in the gallery soon or please continue to get in touch by phone, e-mail, Facebook or Instagram.

The much awaited Tutankhamun from EDGE SCULPTURE has now arrived in the gallery, it really is a striking piece for the great price of £230. During lockdown Matt Buckley has been isolating in his shed and has shown some work in progress teasers of the next releases, we can't wait to see how they turn out......
We are delighted to present a magnificent trio of wildlife portraits from DARRYN EGGLETON These high-impact statement pieces place their subjects against a distinctive single colour backdrop to create a hypnotic and lifelike presence. The only hint of their environment is seen through the reflections in their eyes and this almost cinematic effect makes each animal seem to project beyond the plane of the canvas, bringing them into sharp and immediate relief - dramatic examples of photo-realism with a contemporary twist.
We look forward to seeing you in the gallery soon but in the meantime please get in touch by phone, e-mail, Facebook or Instagram.

We are proud to present a breath taking experience of 'art in the danger zone' from PHILIP GRAY extreme artist and explorer. This magnificent new collection of limited editions and original paintings features some of Philip's most exotic and exciting adventures, as well as some beautiful reflective pieces portraying the shoreline of his Irish home.
Philip's powerful and eloquent oil paintings and pastels have captivated a generation of art lovers and won him an impressive range of awards, media coverage and celebrity collectors, from Bono and Dolly Parton to Bill Clinton. As his reputation has grown, his original work has become increasingly sought after, and his status as one of the UK's most collectable artists has been confirmed.
"As an artist I travel the world looking for new locations and new inspiration. I want to visit places where people seldom venture, but also where an artist has never painted. New life challenges provide the impetus for my work and are an essential element of my painting process"
10% of all sales from this collection will be donated to the NHS Charities Together Covid 19 Urgent Appeal.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase any of these awe inspiring works as allocations are selling fast.....
