It's Friday! What do you have planned for the weekend? Want a suggestion?

Well, how about a visit to a superb gallery, which is spread over TWO FLOORS? You can really take your time, too. Spend as long as you like fully absorbing the creations of our artists. Here is a random selection of the artwork available on both floors to whet your appetite.

Hope to see you at the weekend!

A few weeks ago (where does the time go?!), we published a post 'small & beautiful'. Well, there are still many more small and beautiful things at our gallery so this is 'part 2'. And, expect many more parts to this theme 😁

We have everything from jewellery, trinket dishes, sculptures and miniature paintings which fit this category, and also make...oh, wait a minute, I almost mentioned the 'C' word 😳What about the 'X' word? Is that acceptable? Yes - these would make excellent Xmas gifts, too 😇

Today, we showcase the work of one of our fabulous artists, Jude Lowery, also known as EweToo Art by JudeLowery.

Jude’s artistic journey has come full circle, from a childhood love of painting, through a career spanning almost 30 years teaching Art & Design, to developing her own artistic voice after retiring from school teaching.

Inspired by the natural world, Jude’s paintings explore not only the places and animals she encounters, but also the emotions and connections they evoke. Working primarily in watercolour and acrylic, she captures the character, colour and beauty of the world around her.

Jude's work is fabulously eclectic and if you would like to know more about her style, or experience it for yourself, you could always sign up to Jude's painting classes, which she runs from the gallery. Ask in the gallery for more details.

Quite often, our stewards get asked 'are you open on Sunday', or 'are you open tomorrow?' when it's a bank holiday. The answer is always YES 😁

We are open seven days a week, 10.30 - 4.30pm so you can wake up any morning and think 'yes, today is the day I will visit the gallery in Frogmore Street' without wondering if anyone will be there to let you in.

Currently, there are roadworks right outside the gallery, which isn't helping but rest assured, we are there!

Today, we are showcasing the work of artist, Keith Foster.

For as long as Keith can remember, painting has been his passion. He cannot remember a time when he has not painted.

Keith studied fine art at Newport College of Art, and received the National Diploma in Art and Design, following which he was awarded The David Murray Landscape Scholarship for Painting – which financed his early years as a painter.

Completing the postgraduate teaching degree in Cardiff University, enabled Keith to teach fine art, life drawing, and ceramics in various educational establishments in both England and Wales. He taught students to A-level, as well as adults in Further Education and evening classes.

Following his retirement from teaching, Keith has enjoyed being able to paint full-time from his studio at home in South Wales. His work has been exhibited in many galleries throughout Wales and the South of England, and in many open exhibitions including The John Moore’s Exhibition in Liverpool, the Royal Academy Summer Show, the National Eisteddfod, and Chapter Arts Centre, to name but a few.

Keith's stunning work can be found on the ground floor of our gallery.

There is something really wonderful about black in art. Of course, colours are lovely but black makes a real statement.

🖤In terms of science, black isn't actually a colour at all - it's what you get when there's a complete lack, or absorption of visible light.
🖤The colour black is achromatic, just like white and grey. This means that it has no hue.
🖤It is linked to prestige and elegance, which is why it dominates luxury branding and formal wear.

Black is definitely a statement and all these examples in our gallery show how wonderfully versatile it can be in art.

With the new season just started, the nights are drawing in and it's time to get cosy! Guess what? We have you covered.

What could be more cosy than a lit candle? We have candlesticks, tea light holders, beautiful match pots to light your candles and even some lovely candle snuffers to put them out again.

Gotta love a candle!

Today is the first day of the Abergavenny Food Festival. Now, obviously, the clue is in the title and it's all about food but as you're in Abergavenny anyway, why not take a little detour into our lovely gallery and cleanse your palette with some gorgeous artwork?

This is just a very small selection of what's there over our two floors - yes, TWO FLOORS! And we also have the beautiful exhibition of felting from our visiting artists. This is too good to miss; you can always go and stuff yourself with cake afterwards 😁

This coming weekend is the Abergavenny Food Festival. As always, our expert ceramicist and window-dresser, Jane, does a terrific job of making the window link to the theme of the food festival. This year, she's taken the theme of 'Al-fresco'. Think picnics, birds clearing up the stray crumbs from a magnificent Victoria Sponge Cake - you get the idea.

Now, I took some photos of the windows in order to show you how brilliant they were but you know what happens when you photograph windows? That's right, you get a reflection of everything else in the street, too: there was a nice reflection of the italian restaurant across the street, and also a queue of cars waiting to pull out of the opposite road. Neither of those things helped my photos.

So, I have managed to salvage two of the pictures which don't do the window justice! What's the answer to this dilemma? Go and see it for yourself 😉

Today, we'd like to showcase the work of woodturner, Peter Dixon.

Peter originally turned to wood urning to destress from an intense job. He has since retired from that job and now spends his time creating wood art.

Woodturning is the foundation to all of his pieces but over the years he has developed skills in a range of other techniques and materials to enhance and build on the initial turned item. Peter considers himself lucky to have access to locally sourced woods of unusual character and colour. Sometimes this is enough in its own right, sometimes he may add carved and pierced features, apply texturing, scorching and pyrography techniques, stains and acrylics to achieve the final piece of “woodart”.

You can see a small collection of his work in this photo - including his very popular (and super-cute) nutmeg grinder. If you want to see more, you can find his work in our upstairs gallery.
