Karen Nicol will be displaying a vast array of over 20 incredible new works at The Marylebone Hotel – Private View, Tuesday 7 February, 6.30 – 8.30pm. Make sure to come along and be amazed by Karen’s work!
Scotland is a land steeped in legend and lore. Within the intertwined stories of olden times, whiskey holds a key place – Colin Hampden-White has gained exclusive access to not only some of the greatest distilleries in Scotland but also their Cheiftains – the master distillers. At each one, the figurehead of the distillery uses his finely-honed skills to create a unique single malt whiskey of breath-taking quality.
A bar was set up by Diageo with the various (very fine) whiskies from the distilleries across Scotland, all visited by Colin. Visitors were encouraged to taste the correlating whiskey to the photographs adorning the gallery walls.

A splendid exhibition by the equally splendid, Colin Hampden-White.

The London Art Fair began last night at the Business Design Centre up in Islington.
The perfect pair of nudes? A Bromley and a Cronshaw.
Our lovely nature corner, featuring David Farrer, Iain Nutting and Rebecca Jewell.
The Holy Cow casually greets visitors from all points of the fair.
Iain Nutting’s brilliant new Gorilla!
We are at Stand G7, look for the David Farrer animal heads, The Holy Cow and the Waterbuck!
We are there all day Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
It truly is a something to marvel!
Monday 9 January saw the opening of Allyson’s fantastic new show at Charlotte street.
Alyson was over from Brisbane with her artist husband, Scott Whitaker, and their two children, Lilly and Ollie to sign copies of her limited edition book, from soil and stone - 50 copies are available and each comes with a one off ink drawing.
The exhibition combines two bodies of work, Moths and Score For Imagined Sound.
Reknowned art critic, Daniel Mafe, describes the series of works as “a richly contrasting body of work – a two part melody. As a whole and in its subtle and evocative way, it sings of joy, life and death, light and dark, abundance, difference and variegation; all is accepted.”
The show continues until Saturday 28 January.
Allyson Reynolds brilliant new book is the perfect reference for her brand new exhibition, Moth Song.
Allyson will be present at Charlotte Street on Monday 9 January to sign copies of the book and to open the exhibition. The show continues until Saturday 28 January.
Richard Lowe and Matthew brilliantly re-styled the interior of Charlotte street, to give the perfect Christmas vibe. Come and have a look! We are open until 2 o’ clock on 24 December and we have many a visual treat on display with bargain prices!

The Charlotte Cory Corner – everything from her infamous portraits, to bowls, mugs, tea-towels and even playing cards!
The beautiful front wall has something for everyone!
Come and have a look and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Sara & Inga – two of the best interns in the world!
Sadly, their three month spell came to an end – Rebecca and Matthew presented them with a print by their favourite artists, Peter Clark and Emma Haworth – a well deserved gift.
See you in Berlin.
Peter Clark taking China by storm!
Now, we just need a translator!
Peter Clark is an epically-talented collage artist who focuses much of his expertise on creating dog collage portraits. The workmanship evidenced in his pieces completely blows me away. Peter uses an extensive collection of found papers as his palette “which are colored, patterned or textured by their printed, written, or worn surfaces.” He uses this found media to “paint” his collages. And the results are completely stunning!
Peter uses print densities to shade his collage portraits, which give them depth and substance not typically found in collage art. He also uses lines from some of the old maps he uses to create beautiful movement in his art. I think the Scottie above is a breathtaking example of that.
I can’t imagine how brilliant these pieces must be in real life! I hope to come across one someday. Until then, I’ll definitely be adding Peter Clark’s Paperwork book
What a week we’ve had at the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery.
Not one, or even two, but three private views this week!
Rebecca flew to New York for Andew Taylor’s private view on Monday, caught a plane, first thing the next day and got back in time for David Whitaker’s opening night, then off for a NADFAS lecture on Wednesday, before making it back to attend Ken Butler’s private view!!
And there was re-organising Rebecca Jewell’s show in between all that!
Phew!
All shows have started brilliantly and all received an excited bunch of visitors, friends and family.
Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery continues to take the world by storm.
