We are excited to be showing at the Winter Show again this year. We have put together an exciting group of new acquisitions. Amongst our highlights are a beautiful, unfinished oil study by Joshua Reynolds which demonstrates his technical virtuosity. A group of remarkable works made by one of the most extraordinary outsider artists of the nineteenth century, John Bingley Garland. Garland, a leading figure in the trans-Atlantic salt-cod trade spent some years in Canada where he played a significant role in political and civic life before returning to England. In his retirement he createdhe created a sequence of exceptional collages, combining old master engravings, botanical prints and passages of spiritual poetry he then covered with drips of blood drawn in red India ink. But we are most excited to be bringing a remarkable bust of George Washington.
