Nadeem In The Spotlight

Over the last few months we have increased our showing of artwork from Nadeem. The direct black and white images have really struck a cord with visitors to our gallery with a number of originals and limited editions now having a new home in the region.



Words from Nadeem..............

I have always been fascinated by light and the shadows, forms, mood and atmosphere it can create. During my time as a scenic artist I learnt so much from the artists I worked with, they have a vast knowledge of all aspects of art, light, perspective and colour. They are almost like modern day equivalents of the renaissance masters, taking on commissions and designs on a grand scale.



The characters I use could be each and every one of us at any time and they are large in order to represent the consumer society we live in. I choose to keep them anonymous by not showing their faces but give them their personality through body language and posture.



I like to keep an element of mystery about my paintings leaving them open to individual interpretation.


We will continue to increase our showing of Nadeem's work over the next few months. Please contact us for availability of original and limited edition work.

"Marilyn" Photography by Eve Arnold


In The Frame, The Misfits, 1960©Eve Arnold/Magnum Photos



We are delighted to present to you an exquisite collection of previously unpublished limited edition photographs by world renowned and award-winning Magnum photographer Eve Arnold.

These eight stunning photographs are all reproduced as limited edition giclées from the original negatives taken by Eve Arnold during her ten year friendship with Marilyn Monroe. The unique relationship between the two resulted in a body of work that portrays the Hollywood icon in a much more relaxed style, capturing her vulnerability as well as her luminous beauty.

This collection will be available to view in galleries from Saturday 14th August 2010.

Just as Marilyn’s iconic status is still popular today nearly 50 years after her death, these iconic limited editions will have an everlasting appeal on your walls for many years to come.

This is an exhibition NOT TO BE MISSED!
