In our autumn exhibition dedicated to Modern British and European art, we are delighted to centre the show around the Scottish painter William Gear RA (1915 to 1997). A collection of this artist’s original paintings featured in the exhibition range from 1940s through to the 1970s, alongside works by contemporaries he met and exhibited with in post-war Europe. In 1948 William Gear became a significant figure of the CoBrA art movement, the same year in which he held a two-man exhibition with Jackson Pollock in New York.
As a contemporary accompaniment to the show, the latest paintings by Heath Hearn
(b. 1966 - ) are also featured. Heath Hearn, based in south east Cornwall is inspired by his local landscape and coastal position. Often inspired by painters from the British art movement, his influences can be noted as he creates images with his own unique and distinctive approach.
