This summer, discover St Ives at The Redfern, a celebration of one of Britain’s most influential artistic communities.
St Ives at The Redfern brings together artists whose work has been shaped by Cornwall across nearly one hundred years. Alongside historic figures including Alfred Wallis, Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Roger Hilton CBE, Patrick Heron CBE, Peter Lanyon, Terry Frost RA, Margaret Mellis, Paul Feiler, Keith Vaughan, Catharine Armitage, and John Tunnard, the exhibition presents a contemporary generation of artists—Leigh Davis, Samuel Bassett, Ben Sanderson, Felicity Mara, Naomi Frears and Linder Sterling—whose practices have engaged with the Cornish landscape, atmosphere, and creative legacy of the region.
To coincide with the exhibition, The Redfern Gallery will host a Panel Discussion on Thursday 30 July, exploring the history, legacy and continuing influence of St Ives on British art.
Exhibiting artists Naomi Frears and Samuel Bassett will be joined by Ian Massey (Art Historian, Curator, and Author of Q***r St Ives and Other Stories, 2022), and Laura Smith (Artistic Director of The Hepworth Wakefield and former Curator at Tate St Ives).
