Treasures

    Treasures marks a significant point in the continuing development of Gladwell & Patterson's presence in Stamford, as the gallery reflects on its first year at No. 1 High Street.

    Over the past twelve months, the space has established itself as a centre for exhibitions, events and conversation, welcoming both longstanding collectors and new audiences. A varied programme has included seasonal workshops, the installation of Garden in the Gallery, and a major exhibition of works by Kenneth Webb, each contributing to the evolving identity of the gallery. Attention now turns to the forthcoming solo exhibition by Georgina Potter, which will further extend this programme.

  • This exhibition brings together a carefully selected group of paintings and sculptures, spanning a broad range of subjects, scales and approaches. Coastal scenes, still life compositions and landscape views from Britain and beyond are presented alongside more intimate studies, each offering a distinct engagement with observation and material. The selection moves between larger, more expansive works and smaller compositions that reward closer inspection, reflecting the varied interests of collectors and the diversity of the gallery’s holdings.

    At the centre of the presentation are Raymond Thibésart’s monumental panels Scène de Labour and Scène de Cueillette, which stand among the most ambitious works within his practice. Their scale and subject are balanced by more contained observations, where attention is directed towards quieter motifs and specific moments within the natural world. This range of subject and treatment contributes to the character of the collection as a whole.

  • Treasures reflects both continuity and development within the gallery’s programme, bringing together works by artists long associated with Gladwell & Patterson alongside more recent additions. It offers an opportunity to consider the breadth of material currently available, while maintaining a consistent emphasis on quality, context and the ongoing dialogue between artist, object and collector.
