New paintings by Nicholas Herbert
7th November - 3rd December
This is Nick Herbert's second solo exhibition in the gallery following his very successful one in 2016. The new paintings feature Italian and English landscapes. Art historian and author David Boyd Haycock says in his catalogue introduction that these paintings remind him of Turner's late watercolours, in which his landscape moves towards almost complete abstraction. This is a wonderful description of these small intricate beautifully painted pictures, which it gives us great pleasure to be exhibiting in the gallery.

Arguably the most famous portrait in the world is Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ and a very large proportion of the most important works of art in museums and prominent art collections are ‘portraits’.
In the current list of the most expensive paintings sold at auction, the majority of the top twenty are all paintings of people, or what we might loosely call portraits, including number one, Leonardo’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ sold for $450 million in November last year.
Portraits are one of the most enduring forms
of artistic expression and the practice of
___
____
commissioning portraits of important
personages or loved ones continues much the same as it has down the ages, proving that there is no real substitute for an image made by a professional artist, even in our digital ‘selfie’ twenty first century.
They are also the only piece of art likely to remain in the collection of a family or institution long after other works have found other homes. The practice of creating painted, drawn or sculpted portraits has never had such a variety of exceptional artists and this exhibition aims to showcase the work of a small group of these very fine practitioners.

This is Christoph Drexler’s second solo exhibition at Alan Kluckow Fine Art, the first having taken place in 2013.
Christoph lives and works in Munich, and is a member of the Münchener Secession, an organisation that was the first of the Secession movements in Europe to “secede” or break-away from the conventions of nineteenth century salon painting and salon-style exhibitions. It was quickly followed by the Berlin Secession and the Vienna Secession.
Drexler’s work has been widely exhibited in Europe
in galleries and at art fairs and is represented in many private and corporate collections.

Jean-Franck Baudoin (1870 - 1961)
Paintings from a private collection
November 11th to December 6th
Place cursor over image to view exhibition
____
Jean-Franck Baudoin (1870 -1961) was one of
the last great French post impressionist painters. His career began in the Île de Ré, an island off
La Rochelle where he was born. During the war
of 1870, his family took refuge there and in this period Baudoin produced some of his most vibrant work.
___
____
One of his most acclaimed exhibitions took place
at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris in 1927, where the work Le Pont St Michel et Notre Dame was bought by the State for the nation. Baudoin's paintings are represented in the public collections of a number of regional museums in France. In 2009, Frost and Reed in St James's London showed the artist's work in an important exhibition entitled The Impressionist Effect; Paintings from 20th Century France and Beyond.
This collection of works demonstrate Baudoin's uncomplicated vision of the world, summed up by his characteristic easy brushstroke, flirtation with light and colour and mastery of composition.
