About
The Moncrieff-Bray Gallery presents it's Summer Exhibition – which takes place in our converted barn and landscaped gardens with stunning views over the Rother Valley. Artists and sculptors are drawn from all corners of the British Isles–from Land’s End to the Isle of Arran–and work is selected with a commitment to quality, integrity and originality from both established and emerging artists. Sculpture ranges from small-scale intimate works for interiors, to large pieces for the garden by artists such as Will Carr and Paul Vanstone.
We are showing fresh work by some of the artists who have supported us since we first opened 16 years ago including; John Hitchens, Jilly Sutton, and Oona Campbell. This show also sees several exciting new artists to the gallery, among them Scottish artists Jean B Martin and Ann Oram who both follow in the tradition of the Colourists with their brilliant palettes.
Landscape plays a large part including David Atkins' vivid renditions of West Wittering Beach, Sarah Warley-Cummings' sweeping views of the South Downs and Oona Campbell's stunning sunsets looking across the Yorkshire moors. The selection also includes abstract works by Cornish artist Marianne Nichols and JJ Cavanagh-Butler. For the first time, the gallery showcases the work of David Cass which uses recycled objects to explore ideas of climate change.
In the garden, work by leading British contemporary stone carvers Paul Vanstone, Dominic Welch and Aly Brown - all successful participants at the prestigious biannual 'On Form' exhibition at Asthall Manor - will lead the way. Alongside these are Will Carr's mesmerising kinetic wind sculptures, Jilly Sutton's astonishing heads carved in wood and cast in bronze and Mike Savage's vessels of beaten copper.
Open Thursdays and Fridays 10 am - 4 pm. Other times and days strictly by appointment only.
Just over an hour’s drive from central London, the gallery is located in the heart of the South Downs National Park, enjoying spectacular views over the Rother Valley and up to the South Downs. It is ten minutes from Petworth with its wealth of galleries and antique shops.
