The Wills Lane Gallery in St. Ives, Cornwall brings a breath of the West End to the South West. Artists and designers of national and international significance are exhibited alongside new talent. Click the medium to view the artists: Paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints, photography, sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, weaving, jewellery.
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. Artists selected by the gallery who have recently received national recognition include Drummond Masterton who will be showing his metalwork in the Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2008 Touring Exhibition, Katie Cuddon who has been awarded the Sainsbury Scholarship in Painting and Sculpture British School at Rome, Tavs Jørgensen who was a nominee for the Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award for his innovative glass, and Irene Lees selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize Exhibition 2007.
