{ Presence }

About

As an artist run gallery we are very proud to represent Mark Dunford, Daniel Preece and David Wiseman - three current members of the prestigious artist collective The London Group. To coincide with the group's major exhibitions at the Penwith Gallery and Belgrave St Ives, Tregony Gallery are pleased to present the exhibition { Presence }, highlighting the work by three artists from this innovative organisation which holds an integral place in the culture of British art. Originally formed as a radical response to the constraining stipulations of the Royal Academy, The London Group elected it's members through democratic vote and organised it's exhibitions around the members's own choice of work. This ethos continues to this day, making The London Group the longest running democratic artist collective still in opperation. The title of the exhbition [ Presence } is the connecting theme we feel runs between the artists'works. Through their own distinctive approaches to painting- from structural compositions and deeply layered planes of colour to fluid ethereal watercolour- each artist quietly declares their experience of ' Presence ' in their surroundings and chosen subjects.
