We’ve been busy painting, sanding, building walls and will be hanging the first picture in our new Lynton Gallery imminently. We are opening on the 1st August with a Waistel Cooper studio pottery exhibition, running alongside our collection of paintings, prints and fine furniture.
Lynton is one half of the picturesque villages of Lynton & Lynmouth on the North Devon Coast, within the Exmoor National Park – an area noted for its outstanding beauty. Although not renowned for as a major centre of British art, Lynton & Lynmouth has an artistic heritage to rival the more well known coastal towns of Staithes, Newlyn and St. Ives. The natural beauty of the landscape has attracted artists to the area since the 18th century, including J.M.W. Turner, Samuel Palmer, Thomas Rowlandson, Albert Goodwin, Conrad Martens, Frederick John Widgery, Francis Nicholson, Sir Alfred Munnings, Harry Phelan Gibb, Ethelbert White, Ford Maddox Brown, John Anthony Park, Ann Le Bas, Waistel Cooper, Fred Hall and Damien Hirst. Our new Lynton gallery aims to explore that rich artistic heritage through exhibitions and publications.
As well as offering a wide selection of fine art, we also offer valuation services as well as advice on building and disposing of collections.
