My Bella is comprised of two distinct bodies of work that are connected by the central figure of Bella, the artist’s sister and muse. Bella has appeared in Broadhead’s images since her very first experiments with photography at the Royal College of Art over ten years ago. Since then, Bella has appeared in many different guises yet she always embodies a sense of quietude, elegance and poise. The artist comments that, ‘the intimacy of our relationship means we communicate with ease and for me, Bella’s beauty is gentle and touching. I see myself in her, and more importantly, she has a quality of openness and stillness when I am looking at her, which points to a more general human condition.’

Opening times by appointment: 11am - 4.30pm Tuesday - Friday.

Artwork, Objects & Curiosities at Paul Smith

For 2019, Paul Smith has invited a selection of his favourite artists, sculptors and designers to create pieces for a special exhibition at No. 9 Albemarle Street, London

New works are included in the show and its free to visit now.

Delighted to have works included in The Enchanted Interior, an exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery Newcastle and The Guildhall London.

The Enchanted Interior will explore the sinister implications of a popular theme in nineteenth-century painting: the depiction of the interior as a ‘gilded cage’ in which women are pictured as ornamental objects. Iconic Pre-Raphaelite paintings by artists such as Edward Burne-Jones and William Holman Hunt will be shown alongside works by their female peers such as Emma Sandys and Evelyn De Morgan, who challenge and subvert the idealisation of women as captive damsels or passive beauties. Meanwhile, installation and moving image work by contemporary artists such as Mona Hatoum and Fiona Tan highlight the duality inherent in the interior, as a site that can be a sanctuary or a threat.

This exhibition has been developed by the Laing Art Gallery and will tour nationally.

Commissioned by the National Trust, Gitta Gschwendtner has invited 5 fellow designers to create seating in response to 17th century Fenton House in Hampstead.

Gitta Gschwendtner, Carl Clerkin, Frith Kerr, Maisie Broadhead, Michael Marriott and Nina Tolstrup invite you to slow down, sit down and look again in this exciting collision of old and new.

 Please Sit runs from 12th September 2019 to Spring 2020.

 Normal entrance fees apply
