Exhibitions:

Cupola has four gallery spaces, one of which is a dedicated temporary exhibition space. We hold approximately ten exhibitions per year. These are either solo or themed shows covering a large variety of styles and media. Work is selected via open submission and invitation which guarantees a regular influx of new work and artists to the gallery.

Please feel free to view archive photos of some of our previous exhibitions PLUS the current schedule of what is coming up.

SCHEDULE 2009:

'Forward to the Past'

Solo Photographic Exhibition by Richard Heeps

Exhibition Runs: Friday 10th July - Saturday 8th August 2009
Open Evening: Friday 10th July. 7.30pm onwards

'Time and Place'
"In my latest work I have been capturing a sense of Englishness and aiming to create images at odds with modernity."

Richard Heeps 2009.

After the success of 'Man's Ruin' in 2007, Cupola welcomes back Richard to exhibit his timeless evocative photographs.

Richard has been a top class professional photographer for over 20 years. His work reflects a strong relationship and empathy towards his subject matter and close surroundings. In an age where digital processes have become commonplace in creative media Richard remains stalwart and focused on highlighting the virtues of hand printed 'C' type color photography.

His use of color and composition enables a clear and captivating opportunity to sense artistic expression, transported by quality photographic imagery.

"In my work, I find beauty in ordinary things. I am inspired by traces of individuality, timelessness and composition to create extraordinary images with a sense of enduring values. My work aims to capture the feel of the subject; I record rather than glamorize."

Richard Heeps 2009.

'Tapis Volants' (Flying Carpets)

Solo Painting Exhibition by Francis Berthault

Exhibition Runs: Friday 29th May - Saturday 4th July 2009
Open Evening: Friday 29th May. 7.30pm onwards

'Time and Place'
"I am working on integration of animals in the landscape. (I am trying to get out Jojo le Bobo and his friends for a little walk in the landscape...)"
Francis Berthault 2009.

Paris based artist Francis Berthault is welcomed back for his second solo exhibition at Cupola. His richly coloured paintings of twisted pastoral or urban landscapes, magical or folktale like scenes, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals and highly stylised figures bursting with wit and humour and occasionally whimsy (often in the titles of the work), are a delight to experience.
