We are delighted to have had some stunning new original paintings by Iranian artist Shirin Tabeshfar for our Summer Exhibition.

Shirin’s paintings explore images of the past, a painter whose canvases are often divided; fascination with the relationship between order and chaos. Her work combines elements of symbolism, spirituality and a sense of time.

The results are stunning, deeply intuitive compositions that possess a remarkable sense of balance. They seem to change with the light and with their surroundings, becoming part of the rhythm of a room.

Shirin was born in Tehran and studied at the Behzad School of Fine Art. When she was eighteen she moved to the UK, where she studied art in Bristol and later at the Bath Academy of Art. Her work is highly collected and featured in several publications.

We are incredibly proud of our gallery artist Stephanie Rogers, what an extraordinary couple of years she has had.

Her paintings were recently exhibited at the 17th /18th ARC Contemporary Realism: Important 21st Century Works at Sowerby’s, Madison Avenue, New York.

Not only were her works selected for the exhibition, but she also received three awards for ‘Gathering Petals’ and ‘Garden Hush’. The competition attracted over 8500 entries from 87 countries, making it the largest, most influential, and far -reaching competition for contemporary realism in the world.

This follows her Honourable Mention at the Almenara Art Prize, presented at the magnificent Real Circulo de la Amistad in Cordoba, Spain.

Adding to these remarkable achievements, Gathering Petals has also been selected for the Polaris Collection of the Lunar Codex - a time capsule of humanity’s creativity that will be preserved on the surface of the Moon.

What exceptional recognition of Stephanie’s talent, dedication and artistry. We couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations, Stephanie, on these truly outstanding achievements ⭐ 🍃

We are always delighted to receive a new painting by award-winning artist Shaun Ferguson, and ‘Moths’ certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Through his wonderful layering of colour and masterful use of light, Shaun creates a scene that feels both intimate and mysterious. As always there is an unfolding narrative at the heart of his paintings.

The tiny flame becomes a beacon in the darkness, drawing both the moths and the viewer towards it. The painting seems to explore themes of attraction, curiosity and vulnerability- the irresistible pull of the flame , even when it may lead to danger.

Shaun is a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools, and has gained many awards over his esteemed career, his artwork is included in major global, private and public collections.

Our annual Summer Exhibition is now underway and will continue throughout July and August. The exhibition is a carefully curated selection of new paintings and sculpture by some of the gallery favourites.

We are delighted , as part of this year’s show to have new work by exciting award-winning figurative artist Lee Madgwick, who grew up in Norfolk.

In 2015, he was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and has also been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. He was invited by Banksy to exhibit alongside internationally acclaimed artists in the landmark temporary art project Dismaland. His painting ‘Shroud’ was selected for the Derwent Art Prize in 2018, and he was later commissioned by Kaiser Chiefs to create a painting for their album ‘Duck’. Most recently he was awarded the Landscape Prize at the 2024 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.

Lee’s mysterious and emotive paintings explore scenes of abandonment, seclusion and dereliction. His urban and rural landscapes focus on overlooked or forgotten places, occasionally incorporating subtle elements of surrealism.

Lee describes his approach as ‘imagined realism’ using atmospheric lighting and brooding skies to create a compelling range of moods. His careful handling of light, architectural detail and landscapes transforms familiar surroundings into scenes that feel haunting, contemplative and strangely extraordinary.

The gallery looks glorious in the sunshine for the opening of Alice Scrutton’s new exhibition, ‘Drifting Tides’.

We are delighted to share this exceptional new collection of paintings, in which Alice’s distinctive palette and skilful use of light evoke a quiet sense of harmony and balance.

Whether placed in a Swiss boardroom, a London townhouse, Caribbean villa or a country cottage, Alice’s paintings have a wonderful ability to transform a room, bringing light, calm and space.

Alice has always drawn inspiration from the sea, going back to her days at St Martins School of Art and has gone on to have numerous successful solo exhibitions in London, across the UK and internationally.

A major exhibition ‘A Potted History’ is now on at Holkham Hall, celebrating 75 years since the founding of Holkham Pottery.

Established by my grandmother in 1950s, at its peak it employed nearly 100 local people including local artists, specialists from Stoke on Trent and students from around the world, a real artistic hub. The ceramics, made using estate clay, were exported worldwide, quite an industry in the 1950s.

There are some wonderful archive photos of my mother, Carey Basset (Née Coke) and her sister Anne Glenconner (Née Coke) painting the pottery.

I think I inherited my love of art from my mother and grandmother, who were both keen collectors and painters, becoming great friends with some well known artists along the way.

I found this wonderful photograph of when my mother worked at the Crane Kalman gallery, Brompton Road London, in the 1950s. She was lucky enough to be there at a time when the gallery was exhibiting , amongst others, some of the leading artists of the 20th century, including Ben Nicholson, Lucian Freud and L.S Lowry.

The exhibition at Holkham Hall continues until October and well worth a visit.

We are delighted to have some new paintings by renowned Scottish Colourist Alison McWhirter, as part of our current exhibition.

Alison’s still life paintings are created in rich, thick oils, using texture and form to stunning effect. For Alison, colour is never purely decorative - it conveys deep emotions and poetic beauty.

Through the symbolism of flowers and her exuberant use of colour, each painting becomes more than a still life: it is an expression of deep emotions and the quiet power of nature.

Born in Dumfries, Scotland Alison studied Fine art at Bath Academy of art. Since then she has exhibited widely in the UK including the Royal Academy Summer exhibition and the Royal Glasgow Institute as well overseas at international art fairs.

Now available to view in our Burnham Market gallery. Or to view more of her available work please visit our website www.fairfaxgallery.com

The gallery is bursting with colour, energy and inspiration for our mixed still life exhibition!

We are delighted to be showing these beautiful impressionist paintings by award-winning artist Richard Colson. Full of atmosphere and feeling, Richard’s work is less about precise description and more about capturing the mood of his subject and the emotions it evokes.

Born in Edinburgh, Richard went on to study painting at Goldsmiths college, graduating with First Class Honours in Fine Art 1977.

✨The exhibition continues until the 9th May ✨

We are delighted to have some stunning new work by still life artist Paul Stone available to view from today.

Since graduating in Fine Art in 2008, Stone has established himself as a highly accomplished contemporary still life painter, working in oils with exceptional precision and sensitivity.

Rooted in the tradition of classical realism, his carefully composed paintings bring together everyday objects, fruit, vegetables, glass, silver, and found items. Through his refined handling of light, tone, and reflection, Stone gives each object a quiet intensity and heightened sense of presence.

Stone was named Artists & Illustrators Magazine Still Life Artist of the Year in 2010, and was later shortlisted again for the award, further recognising his standing within the genre.

We have had the pleasure of exhibiting Paul Stone’s paintings for over fifteen years, including at London and international art fairs, as well as through a series of solo exhibitions.
