Tim Pomeroy's first solo show at Agnew's is richly diverse in subject and style, including a range of different materials and techniques.

"It is, simply, a question of letting be; of realising a way of working in which all those previously seperate strands are enabled to come together in one, increasingly powerful, totality ... Consideration of his work must surely also reflect reflect the remarkable and engaging sense so many of these pieces convey, of being somehow like "found objects" rather than conventional sculptural forms, things that might somehow have been picked up walking on the beach or on the mountains of Arran with Tim Pomeroy our very uniquely Scottish guide and story teller inventing new histories of what it means to be human!"

Nicholas Usherwood, April 2009

The twelve lithographs are published in an edition of 150 each.

Christopher P Wood was born in Leeds in 1961 and studied at Leeds Polytechnic before completing an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea in 1986. He has had a series of solo shows in London, in Yorkshire and Australia. Nicholas Usherwood, editor of Galleries say of his work, "In recent years his work has taken on an increasingly visionary quality where he uses an intense, high-pitched colour and a virtuoso painterly technique in his paintings to create imagery that seems to describe some kind of earthly paradise of an almost Blakean strangeness and beauty".

Born in Rochester, Kent in 1942, John Holden studied first at the Medway College of Art and Design and then as a post-graduate student in the Royal Academy Schools in the mid-1960s. Influenced there by his tutors, William Scott, Derrick Greaves and Edward Bawden, and also the great Modernist exhibitions at the Whitechapel of that period, Holden's interest in the work of  Geometrical Abstractionists such as Albers and Mondrian soon began to find itself reflected in abstract paintings with a quite distinctive voice and  serenity of feeling.

Sarah trained at Chelsea and Hornsey Schools of Art, graduating in 1982 and working from the first as a landscape painter.  A commission from Arco British to go and work on a North Sea oil-rig in 1997 would seem to have had a decisive impact on the particular direction her landscape painting has taken over the last decade or so, in particular the desire to explore the few surviving pockets of 'wilderness' within the British landscape, both to make a record of them before they inevitably disappear and also to explore the nature of man's impact on them over long historical periods of time. One of her most recent projects was spent working in the Romney Marshes, "a strangely empty place - almost entirely created by man (the marsh being drained since Roman times) - which has given me a palimpsest of material to work on as it reveals its own layers of time, man and nature". At the same time she is very concious of the subtle line between the need to make a record and the need to make work which, if it is to have any worth, "must adhere to the rules and magic of paintings." (Nicholas Usherwood)

Opening hours:
Mon - Fri 9.30 - 5.30
Saturday by appointment only
