Jenna Burlingham Gallery

This Saturday is the opening of our Gordon House (1932-2004) exhibition of paintings, works on paper and prints. The Preview Day on Saturday, 16th November, 10am to 6pm, is a great opportunity to visit the gallery and see our set up, especially if you’ve not yet been. We’ll have plenty of works on view from £500 upwards and there’ll be coffee and drinks to keep you going. We’ll also have a wide selection of Modern British and Contemporary works on show and all gallery rooms, including our cottage and loft, will be open for a look around. Do come…. and bring friends!

Shown here are our Gordon House woodcuts ‘Series Tri’. See the exhibition page on our website for prices.

An early look…..we’re busy preparing for our Autumn exhibition of paintings, works on paper and prints by Gordon House (1932-2004) and couldn’t wait to try out these three early arrivals - three of the eight screen prints from his ‘After Powhatan Suite’. They look amazing in our gallery Pink room!

The Preview Day at our gallery, here in Kingsclere, will be Saturday 16th November - everyone is welcome. The exhibition will run until Saturday 7th December, with the gallery open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm. Prices are from £ 650 to £ 30,000 and all works will be on view. The exhibition will include examples of his oil paintings, works on paper and prints.

Further framed images and an online catalogue will be available in ten days time and we will be emailing full details to everyone on our mailing list - do sign up if you’re not already a subscriber. We send one monthly newsletter and very occasional additional exhibition and art fair announcements.

We are off to the fairs this week - the British Art Fair followed by the Battersea Decorative Fair. In preparation we have rehung the gallery as we will be open throughout, 10am-6pm as usual. The upstairs gallery looks brilliant with our new arrival, Robyn Denny's 'Line-Up I', 1962.

Do check the website for our current paintings, prints and ceramics. Tickets to the fairs can be downloaded from our exhibitions page and all available work can be seen online.

Provenance
Estate of the Artist


After leaving New York - and with a brief stop in St Ives - in 1958 Hubbard arrived in Rome, living and working there for two years. Before emigrating from the USA, Hubbard had studied at the Art Students League of New York, NYC, a school at the centre of the Abstract Expressionist movement that counted Jackson Po***ck, Roy Lichtenstein, Helen Frankenthaler and many other avant-garde artists as students. Hubbard's work from this period aligns to the painting theories associated with this group, with its focus on the physical qualities of paint, sensuous action and the picture surface, all of which stayed with him throughout his time in Italy.

'Soon after completing my military service in 1956, I enrolled at the Arts Students League on 57th Street. This was an institution modelled on the French system, basically run by its students, where one could study with the teacher of one's choice drawn from a wide range of disciplines, from portrait painting to abstract to anatomy. Beginning with Edwin Dickinson and George Grosz, I later switched to Morris Kantor, a modernist teacher of high repute. The custom in Kantor's class was for his students to work from a model positioned at one end of the large studio, or simply to work on their own at easels. It was very open and free. There was no thought of capturing individual poses or a realistic setting, but rather a free-wheeling evocation of the event itself.' ('John Hubbard, Remaking Landscape')

As well as our wide inventory of 20th Century 'Modern British' paintings, prints, sculpture and ceramics, the gallery also works directly with a number of contemporary artists: Jo Aylward, Richard Ballinger, Pamela Burns, Daisy Cook, Richard Fox, Tom Harford Thompson, Peter Joyce, Ffiona Lewis, jenny Lock, Emma Maiden, Christopher Marvel, Tessa Newcomb, David Pearce, Jon Probert, Keith Purser, Stephanie Richards, Rosa Roig-Fiol, Jane Skinglery, Nicholas Turner, Michael Vaughan and Lizzie Wheeler.

All available contemporary works be viewed on our website and all should also be priced online. Do check through our ‘contemporary’ section and/or our ‘under £ 5,000’ section. We also have a new website feature where a number of items can be bought online, although you are always welcome to ask questions, request photographs or come and visit!

Shown here in the ’studio’ gallery are paintings by Jenny Lock and Tess Newcomb, together with a vessel by Leslie McKinley Howell.
