THE SHAPE OF WATER, THE MEMORY OF LAND
Luba Arnold, Antonella Scarpa- Isles and Ewen Hyde
20 - 26 May 2026
Open daily 10am - 5pm
(Final Tuesday 10am - 1pm)Luba Arnold
Luba is a contemporary landscape artist based in Gloucestershire, UK. Her work explores the essence of memory, capturing light, atmosphere, and emotion rather than specific places. Inspired by countryside walks and the Cornish coast, she creates textured paintings using acrylic, oil, and charcoal. Built through layered, intuitive mark-making, her pieces feel both spontaneous and intentional, inviting personal interpretation.
Antonella Scarpa- Isles
Water fascinates me; its constant movement, shifting between revealing and concealing, beauty and danger. In my paintings, I explore its light, depth, and unpredictability through layered colour and texture. Drawn to it yet wary of its depths, I capture water as both a physical force and an emotional space, inviting a shared sense of wonder and unease.
Ewen Hyde
My work evolves through experimentation, using mainly salvaged materials and found objects, often scrap metal. The materials themselves inspire each piece, which I handcraft to ensure every sculpture is unique. Though sometimes playful in appearance, the work often carries a deeper, more serious message. -

SEA
Jaci Hogan
27 May - 2 June 2026
Opening daily day 10am - 5pm
(Final Tuesday 10am - 1pm)Preview evening Friday 29th May 5-7pm. Everyone welcome!
Come and have a drink, peruse the artwork and have a chat.
Jaci Hogan is a pastel artist who’s journey over the past three years has been devoted to exploring the dynamic beauty of seas and oceans. This passion is rooted in her childhood growing up in Australia, where early life spent swimming and watching the waves left a lasting imprint on her imagination. The rhythm and sounds of the ocean have become a part of her inner landscape, shaping her creative vision.In this body of work, she seeks to capture the visual patterns of both waves and sea foam, by studying the tides and the interplay of water as it retreats and crashes onto the shore. Her aim is to evoke a sense of motion, whether it be the crashing of waves or the pull of the tide. Her hope is that each piece invites viewers to reconnect with their own experiences of the coast, to be immersed in the presence of the sea.

SEA LONGING
Addy Gardner
3 - 16 June 2026Opening Hours: 10.30 - 5.00 Daily
Closed Mon, June 8
Closing 1pm Tues, June 16,Sea longing presents a series of semi-abstract mixed media paintings based on a small cove in Cornwall. The works explore the emotional weight of place and the way memory returns to it over time. The sea functions here not simply as a subject, but as a recurring point of orientation - a place continually revisited through recollection, longing, and sensation.
“My latest work is about longing, belonging, identity and familial attachment. The daily repetition of days away from something you long for.
I went to a beach with family on a beautiful four day trip to the sea. Three generations together for four days. I paid many visits to the little cove nearby. It seemed to hug me and it was like walking down into the arms of family. The large rocky outcrop being the mother (parent figure) and the sea being the child- always coming back and forth but never staying. The parent rock always longing.
When I returned I thought lots about that little beach, I thought of being alone on it in the early morning and I thought of being on it with my sister and between us, our five children. I thought of the joy of being there with our parents and our kids, some of which are getting to the age where they will leave home. I’ve been thinking lots about the cycle of love and warmth and then loss but also the constant returning.”
In the work of Addy Gardner, place is never fixed. It is layered, eroded, and reassembled through time, much like a shoreline shaped by repeated tides. These paintings are built through accumulation and removal: surfaces are worked, obscured, and reopened, allowing earlier gestures to remain visible beneath later ones. This process mirrors the way memories of place persist; not as clear images, but as overlapping impressions that shift with distance and age.
Whether you are an emerging or established artist looking to exhibit your work, or a designer or craftsperson looking to launch new products or ideas to public, we want to help.
The 430 sq ft sensitively restored space offers a fantastic ground floor frontage with a direct entrance onto a pretty street in the centre of attractive Montpellier; well known for its bars, restaurants, specialist shops and galleries.
Housed in an immaculately presented grade II listed building , built over 170 years ago, the space is bright, intimate and full of character.
If you would like to join our stable of artists and designers, all you have to register your work in order for it to be reviewed by our team. The reason for doing this is while we are keen to maintain an eclectic mix of styles, we also want to make sure it is the right fit for the space.
The minimum hire period is one week starting at £400, but you may also book for longer periods when available, and we ask for no commission on any of your sales.
As well as hiring out the space to artists and creative businesses, we will also arrange a programme of selected group and solo shows where we will invite people to submit their work for inclusion.
