Christmas Exhibition - Featuring Chris Tate's - ROME

15 November 2009 - Exhibition continues until January 2010

The Lander Gallery celebrates its seventh birthday with more wonderful pictures from Christopher Tate. This year he has been to Rome, where warm sunshine on mellow old buildings has provided inspiration for seven stunning images. As so often with Tate, the views are from unpredicted vantage points. For example, who but he would go to the Trevi Fountain and concentrate on the palazzo behind it? He shows St. Peters of course, along with some classic Roman vistas, all in the quirky style and palette that make his work so distinctive... and collected.
Miguel Ruiz, another who has been showing with the Lander since the early days, has provided some characteristic trompe l’oeuil paintings of high quality. Particularly intriguing are two bananas which appear to dance away from the canvases.
Tom Holland’s large picture of Truro shows his unique style at its best, with clean simple lines evoking a detailed vision.
Jeanne Emery’s still lifes are bright and cheerfully colourful.
Anne Beeching was in the gallery’s opening show; this time she follows country paths towards the sunshine.
There is more sunshine from Liz Cleves; in this case the landscapes evoke the exotic land of Muscat. David Axtell’s paintings show the coast back home in Cornwall.
Carline Atkinson has more beach scenes, while the enamel paints of Alan Arthurs imbue the landscape with almost surreal atmosphere.
Roger Porter-Butler’s watercolours shimmer with light and vitality - the richly painted TREBAH is subtly embellished with gold leaf.
Pam Slater’s landscapes have the moody light of afternoon.
Richard Lannowe Hall is another artist who is never far from the sea; once again his atmospheric paintings show his love for the unpredictable waves.

Ceramics are well represented, with Michele Cowmeadow, Victoria Heard, Sarah Perry, Shelagh Spear, Hugh West, Kate Winfrey. Sue Wallis has some of those jolly little boats.

Reece Ingram returns with large sculpted stone pieces. These impressive works would look good indoors or in a garden.

As always there is an abundance of books and jewellery to choose from too.

There is a Gallery Night on the evening of Wednesday November 25th - our seventh birthday. There will be live music and a festive feeling in the air - Santa will be in the town with his reindeer too!

The Lander Gallery is open 9 a.m til 9 p.m on Wednesdays before Christmas, with Truro Late Night Shopping. We are also open on Sundays 10.30 am til 4.30 pm.

Usual hours of business are: Monday to Saturday - 9 a.m - 5.30 p.m.

Autumn Exhibition - Newlyn and St. Ives - Then and Now

12 September - January 2010

The fishing communities of Newlyn and St. Ives have been attractions for artists for centuries and are still so today. This special exhibition shows historic works by traditional and modernist artists who worked in those towns, along with contemporary pieces by artists who live and paint there now. Artists have been inspired by the classic painters of the past to make new works of Newlyn and St. Ives with a fresh perspective.

The picture shown is a detail of a painting by Richard Lannowe Hall.

Lander Gallery, Lemon Street Market, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PN.

Usual hours of business are: Monday to Saturday - 9 a.m - 5.30 p.m.
