NOW ON AT MARSDEN WOO GALLERY: MIXED DISPLAY 2017 UNTIL 15 FEBRUARY

Spanning our main gallery and rear display area, this diverse and stimulating exhibition will feature new work as well as classic pieces by each gallery artist alongside contributions from a specially selected range of associated artists, reflecting the broad scope of Marsden Woo's unique creative network.

This show will be the last in our Charlotte Road premises as the gallery will be moving to a new space in the spring. More details of this exciting venture to come! To show our appreciation for Marsden Woo Gallery's long-term supporters ahead of our relocation we have reduced the retail prices of exhibited work, making this event an absolute must-see!

NEW DISPLAY OPENS AT THE ANTHONY SHAW COLLECTION AT CoCA, YORK

The new display of The Anthony Shaw Collection at the Centre of Ceramic Art in York Art Gallery has just opened. Curated by Tessa Peters, this exhibit features work by many Marsden Woo Gallery artists and associated artists, including Gordon Baldwin, Bryan Illsley, Kerry Jameson, Nao Matsunaga, Sara Radstone, Alida Sayer, Martin Smith and Emma Woffenden, amongst other significant figures in British art such as Ewen Henderson and Gillian Lowndes.

'When forming his collection Shaw has made no hierarchical distinction between art forms; for him matters of sensitivity to material and creative vision have clearly been paramount, so that paintings, sculptures, textiles and souvenirs will also be prominent features of the display' - Tessa Peters

NOW ON: PHILIP EGLIN, 'KICK THE BUCKET' UNTIL 8 OCTOBER

We have just opened his latest exhibition - Kick the Bucket by Marsden Woo Gallery artist Philip Eglin. The show runs until 8 October and sees the artist revisiting two familiar themes of his accomplished practice - a new series of large, vibrantly coloured bucket forms and a further investigation of the female nude.

This richly expressive series sees the artist continuing to explore and improvise with clay, while making work that both challenges and provokes the viewer.
