Past Exhibitions
Featuring his latest compositions of bustling Italian towns and markets, serene Venetian canals and his favourite fishing harbours and coastal scenes of Cornwall. Mike’s paintings, in mixed media with collage, in his familiar style are accompanied by scenes of Bath in pen, ink and wash.
A strong sense of familiarity with Clive's paintings is shared through the ambiguity of subject, time and place, which often strikes an emotional connection with its audience. First solo exhibition with Bath Contemporary runs 4th - 17th February 2012.
Throughout December and January we shall be showing new work by Sally Stafford, Malcolm Ashman, Paul Greenwood, as well as introducing painters Edward Bell, Pascale Reymond and Jackie Philip and ceramicist Ros Perton.
During the Bath Art Affair, Bath Contemporary is showing work by renowned Scottish artist Michael G. Clark focusing on the relationship between the artist, France and Scotland.
New paintings by Jane Cooper, Mike Service and Endre Roder, and introducing sculpture by Ben Dearnley alongside other gallery artists, sculptors and ceramicists. After unveiling his latest sculpture of of Oscar Pistorius as part of his series of Olympic athletes in Trafalgar Square, Ben, Official BT Olympic Artist for 2012, is showing a selection of sculptures in bronze and stone.
We celebrate our relaunch as bath contemporary commencing with a solo exhibition of paintings by Cornish artist Neil Pinkett. 'To the Edge' begins 10th September.
Introducing the work of two artists new to the gallery, whose work is strongly influenced and inspired by the landscape surrounding each painter, with refreshing and contrasting approaches.
Mike Bernard’s distinctive style makes him one of the country’s most respected contemporary landscape painters, for which he has won many prestigious awards. Born in 1957, he trained at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, followed by postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools. He has exhibited widely in London and throughout the UK, including the Royal Institute of Painters - where he was elected a member in 1997 – the Mall Galleries, the Royal Academy Summer Show and leading galleries nationwide.
Inspired by our desire to understand who we are, we showcase an exciting mix of paintings, fashion photography, and sculpture. Introducing London artist Paul Lemmon whose large-scale seductive canvases capture the colour and culture of city life with a cinematic dynamism. Accompanied by Richard Twose whose edgy yet ethereal paintings are inspired by his successful career in the fashion industry. Brian Denington brings his vibrant and dynamic oil studies of the female figure. Anouk Mercier has been exploring fantastical landscapes encorporating imagery from period etchings and modern fashion iconography. Guest fashion photographer Marko Dutka joins us from 23rd to 27th March with his latest collection, referencing past and present influences. A larger 3D perspective is provided by new sculptures from Sara Ingleby-Mackenzie and Rick Kirby. Expect a few surprises!
This intimate exhibition by Marko Dutka, specially for Bath in Fashion, breaks any boundaries between photography and fine art. For Marko, the lens is as effective a means of capturing the play of light on his subject as a painter would find a brush and palette.
We are proud to celebrate the most talented artists in the West of England. This beautiful and diverse exhibition includes new paintings, ceramics and bronzes that capture the spirit of the artist. Works range from the figurative to abstract, from ethereal landscapes to evocative and tantalising female form.
From September 4th – 18th we will be showcasing new, limited edition bronzes by wildlife sculptor Ian Edwards and figurative sculptor Sara Ingleby-Mackenzie. Also, introducing the works of South West artist Mike Hindle, whose evocative twilight beach scenes contrast brilliantly with his bright and beautiful abstracts.

From the serene shores of Treen Beach, to one of the world's most famous landmarks, "From Sand to Sandstone" introduces new paintings by Cornish artist Neil Pinkett, encapsulating the splendour of Cornwall and Bath.
The show will exhibit 30 acrylic paintings, a distinctive medium used by the artist, allowing him to explore different ideas, colour palettes and perspectives. We expect this varied body of work to be of particular interest to collectors and Endre Roder devotees, as well as a delightful introduction to Roder's intoxicating work.
