Summer and Autumn Exhibition Programme at Sarah Myerscough Fine Art

Current – 26th June: International Turned Wood

We are exhibiting artists such as Marc Ricourt, Liam Flynn, Philip Moulthrop, Christian Burchard, Mark Hanvey John Jordan, and Malcolm Martin and Gaynor Dowling. The work has been featured at Collect 2010 and we are excited to be exhibiting new work by all the artists.




1st – 31st July: Andrew Mackenzie Still Surfacing

In this new body of work, Andrew Mackenzie confronts heterogeneous notions concerning the history of art, aesthetics, and man's relationship to his natural environment.



5th - 28th August: Barry Cawston

Barry Cawston's photographs visually declare accidental beauty produced by banal human constructs. His supreme eye for composition turns the detritus of society into images filled with optimism and beauty.




2nd September - 2nd October: Jenny Pockley

Jenny Pockley has been producing magnificent work for this new series on New York. Jenny has captured both the luminosity and iridescence of this famous city, whilst also making stunning visual statements which embody the iconic character of New York.




7th - 30th October: Paul Riley

Paul Riley has been producing a new body of work, painting still life on monochromatic backgrounds. The success of the work lies in the beauty of calm and stillness expressed on the canvas, crossed with the visual intensity of the chosen object.




4th - 27th November: Maisie Broadhead

Sarah Myerscough Fine Art is delighted to be exhibing new work by Maisie Broadhead. Maisie will continue the aesthetic of her series Jewellery Depicted, whilst also producing works which develop this series in a new direction.



Please do not hesitate to contact the gallery if you are interested in any of the exhibitions written about or works shown on this page, and we will be delighted to give you more details.

Sue Morgan - The Various Lives of Thought - The Voyage Continues!

After exhibiting Sue Morgan's installation at the recent London Art Fair Project Spaces we are now pleased to announce that her work has taken up residency in the gallery and will be shown until 22 February.

The Private View on 21 January 2010 was well attended and enjoyed by all. Sue Morgan's evocative and wonderfully animated talk opened up the depths and intricacies of the project and thoroughly enraptured all that were lucky enough to hear.

The installation comprises the relics of an expedition in search of a thought inside the head.
The black box of the mind has been opened by the invention of non-invasive brain-imaging technologies that have revolutionised the neurosciences. In this fictional expedition machines have been constructed to mimic this development, but here the contemporary materialism on which much of neuroscience is predicated is taken to an absurd conclusion: these instruments are able to freeze neural configurations in space and time and to display them optically as objects composed (contingently) of clay and wax.
These playful coalesced thoughts, in a further twist, also appear to find themselves, like little gods, taking on journeys of their own: the rebirth of the minds from which they have been extracted.
The second element of the voyage plays on the phenomenological turn in the philosophy of mind (the birth of consciousness studies) and employs the concept of mapping the mind from inside the skull, resulting in multiple maps and atlases of introspective geography, an absurd adventure, being an act of tracing in the points and lines of a non-spatial entity.
The concept of a voyage inside the head prompted the display of the instruments and specimens in, on & adjacent to shipping crates, unloaded in dry dock from the ship (the neural shipping news). The black insides of the crates gesture toward the fact that despite the transparency occasioned by neuroimaging, the phenomenological character of the mental remains opaque from the outside.

Electrical Work on Brooks Mews

Dear All,

Unfortunately due to EDF Energy digging up part of the street to work on the electrics the gallery will be closed this Saturady (28th November). Apologies for those of you who were going to come in for the last day of Julian Grater's exhibition.

Dear All,


We would like to wish James Lumsden a huge congratulations, as he has been awarded a Royal Scottish Academy Residencies for Scotland Award - and will be undertaking a one month residency at An Talla Solais, Ullapool in March.

Also, he will have a solo show at the Paul Kuhn Gallery in Calgary, Canada: 24th April - 15 May 2010 http://www.paulkuhngallery.com/

James Lumsden, Liquid Light Study 1 09, 25 x 20 cm

Dear All,

Julian Grater's fabulous new show The Lichen Factor is opening tonight. To give you a taster of what it's all about, please read on:

Julian Grater’s new work opens a painterly dialogue with the uncertainty and delicacy of the Arctic’s natural phenomena, and through contemplative and elegiac reflection, he physically and psychologically constructs his landscapes. Grater’s work sits on the border of a figurative and abstract style, representing mountainous scenes, weather stations, and the presence of man in the seemingly infinite white landscapes of the Sub Arctic and Arctic North. Grater’s work subtly blends the borders between contemporary science, art and politics. The exhibition presents not the conclusion of a body of work but the genesis of a project that will develop for many years to come.

The show looks wonderful so please come down to the gallery to see it for yourself!

In other gallery news, we are very much looking forward to Sue Morgan's project space at London Art Fair, Islington, in January (13th -17th). The project space will be a development of her ongoing project into fictional machines and their ability to work through language and catch immaterial thoughts, transforming them into material sculptures. With absolutely fascinating theoretical dexterity and vulnerable artistic maneouvering, this will be a mixed media installation not to be missed.

Anthony Francis, whose first London solo show we have just had, is off to Frankfurt at the moment, visiting the German galleries who represent him. We are incredibly excited about the international career ahead of this young and inspiring artist.
