Upcoming Events & Exhibitions
Blackmore Foster Exhibition
This exhibition brings together painters Nic Foster and Jane Blackmore, whose shared connection to the landscape is expressed through distinct yet complementary perspectives. Both artists explore how painting can evoke feeling, memory, and atmosphere, using colour and gesture to transport the viewer beyond the immediate scene.
Blackmore’s work opens outward into vast, expansive vistas, where light and scale create a sense of distance and quiet grandeur. In contrast, Foster’s paintings draw the viewer inward, offering more intimate, immersive encounters with the land. Together, their works form a dialogue between horizon and presence - inviting viewers to experience landscape as both something we look across, and something we are held within.
