The Gallery

The Art Gallery on the top floor of the Granary building is a vibrant new space featuring changing exhibitions throughout the year.

Russell Gilder - Throughout March

Weston Park welcomes Russell Gilder throughout March for a selling exhibition of his recent works.

Devon-based Russell has a strong link to the heart of England with many of his paintings inspired by the woodland areas of Shropshire. His large scale, hauntingly beautiful landscapes will fill the gallery with scenes of light flooding through the trees, reflections on sylvan pools of water with the poetic romanticism of ruined structures seen between the trees. The effect will perhaps create the illusion that the gallery itself is a woodland clearing. 

Russell's exhibition will not only bring him back to the county which inspired him but also close to the town where he received some of his artistic training at Shrewsbury College of Art and Technology in 1993. His works reflect the diversity of his training in being on oil and board or canvas, steel plate etchings and works on charcoal and paper. 

The sale of Russell's works offer an outstanding opportunity for collectors of contemporary works. 

The Bookish Bradfords 

A variety of books from the Library will be exhibited in the Gallery, including the unique copy of Palladio's First Book of Architecture which contains detailed notes by Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham, from which she based her design of Weston in 1671. The exhibition will change monthly, allowing visitors to see the varying treasures from the House's Library and will run alongside the selling exhibitions.
