Another Place

Dorothy Livingston 6/01/1948 – 22/11/2024

Another Place is both a celebration and a farewell. It gathers works from the collection of a private individual whose passion for art, and whose friendship with the gallery, spanned more than twenty-five years. Her passing in December 2024 left a profound absence, yet her spirit endures in the art she cherished and the relationships she nurtured.

Dot Wade’s Division in Davy’s Gray Reimagined in Cashmere by Alba Amicorum

Alba Amicorum has unveiled a new limited-edition cashmere scarf inspired by Dot Wade’s painting Division in Davy’s Gray. Wade’s instinctive approach to painting embodies structural compositions and a reductive palette, seeking places of stillness and meditation.

Withiel 2021 Open Day, this Sunday…join us!

A gentle stroll through the six-acre plot offers an eclectic journey of sculptural and spiritual delight. There’s something around every corner – along the paths and borders, on the formal lawns, and even among the fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs of the kitchen garden. This is our most successful year to date as this romantic and healing garden set within an ancient landscape has been enjoyed by an increasing number of our most discerning collectors.

An update from the gallery

After the longest hiatus since we opened 21 years ago, I wanted to let you know what has been going on behind the scenes at Lemon Street Gallery since we closed our doors for lockdown and let you know what we have been doing to enable a safe, grand re-opening.

Obituary: Barrie Cook

From the beginning of his career, he championed the technique of spray-painting, a working method with few notable adherents, and established this way of working as a legitimate and versatile mode of expression in a fine art context.

Barrie Cook was a man of great integrity and creative energy, dedicated to his work and whose abundant love for his wife, Mary, was ever-present.

Jazz night at Withiel House

“This is an encounter of generations, legendary German percussionist and free-jazz pioneer Sommer meets virtuoso Scottish saxophonist MacDonald…free jazz in all its glory…loose, intense, effervescent, celebratory and with ‘joie de vivre’…”

Günter ‘Baby’ Sommer & Raymond MacDonald performances are characterised as charismatic, energetic, free-wheeling, joyous, wondrous and spontaneous music-making that can electrify a room with subtle textures, fiery passion and glorious rhythms.

Our 2018 Winter Exhibition is now open
