Petronilla Silver, former Director of the Contemporary Art Society, London, runs the gallery and mounts exhibitions by her chosen artists. For years an influential figure in the London art world and a respected expert on collecting, she advised museums and major corporations on their acquisition policy, and is now available for the first time to advise private individuals on art collecting. The gallery's exhibition changes as works are sold and new works come in and from time to time there are solo exhibitions. Artists selected by the gallery who have received national recognition include Ismini Samanidou whose textiles have won her a place in the Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2009. New paintings, screenprints and etchings will be shown alongside prints selected from the last 10 years. Chambers is one of the most original painters of his generation.
