SUMMARY:Shorelines and Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Shorelines and Horizons brings together large-scale prints by three significant figures in British art: Trevor Price\, Barbara Rae and Donald Hamilton Fraser. The exhibition focuses on landscape as structure and sensation rather than description. Trevor Price’s woodcuts and engravings build dense surfaces through repeated line\, capturing water\, woodland\, vegetation and reflection with quiet intensity. Barbara Rae’s prints use colour and compression to hold coast\, sea and sky in dynamic balance. Donald Hamilton Fraser’s work centres on horizon and division\, using strong colour relationships to create tension\, depth and rhythm. \nThese are substantial works on paper\, selected for their scale and visual weight. Shorelines and Horizons offers a focused encounter with how three artists approach landscape through print\, each using different means to address light\, distance and movement. The exhibition rewards sustained looking and will appeal to collectors seeking confident\, collectable prints with strong physical presence. Shown together\, the works reveal both contrast and shared ground\, reinforcing printmaking as a medium capable of ambition\, impact and lasting relevance.

SUMMARY:Christina Taylor-Smith: Zen Garden
DESCRIPTION:Christina Taylor-Smith is a British printmaker whose work uses line\, texture and colour to map the pull between natural rhythms and human-made structures. This exhibition focuses on her new Oxford body of work. Expect layered prints with a strong sense of surface and light\, built through drawn marks\, embossing and\, in some pieces\, metal leaf. \nThe starting point is a crane motif\, chosen for its associations with wisdom\, longevity\, and renewal. Christina developed the work while researching Waterperry Gardens and the ideas behind The Printed Garden\, tracing links between observation\, philosophy\, and the love of wisdom. In a time that can feel loud and uncertain\, the work holds space for attention\, clarity\, and quiet strength. \nChristina studied fine art in Brussels and at the Surrey Institute in Farnham and was Head of Printmaking and Artist in Residence at South Hill Park Arts Centre.

SUMMARY:Makila Nsika (M.Kala): Pattern\, Texture\, Ornament
DESCRIPTION:New Ashgate Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Makila Nsika (M.Kala)\, winner of the Rising Stars 2025 Award. The exhibition brings together new jewellery and object-based work shaped by Makila’s ongoing research into pattern\, repetition\, and surface\, developed through careful making and collaboration. \nMakila is a London-based teacher\, designer and jeweller whose practice connects contemporary jewellery with cultural heritage and responsible material choices. Her use of stones is now focused within a single collection\, using lab-grown diamonds and potentially other lab-grown stones. Alongside this collection\, Makila has developed a series of rings with hand-textured surfaces made in collaboration with an artisan\, where tactile pattern becomes the main visual and conceptual language. \nThe exhibition also introduces a larger-scale work in development using raffia\, drawing on histories of body ornament. This new piece considers ornament as a social and cultural structure that can frame\, reveal\, or obscure the body\, informed by Makila’s dual cultural inheritance\, African and European. A selection of work will be available to buy\, offering collectors the chance to acquire pieces from an emerging practice at a key stage of growth.

Their rich sound features Fiddle\, Claw Hammer Banjo\, Double Bass\, Guitar\, Wooden Flute and some glorious close vocal harmonies. Wayward’s live shows have a joyful energy\, expressing the fine musicianship and playful chemistry of the four long-time friends.

SUMMARY:Shorelines and Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Shorelines and Horizons brings together large-scale prints by three significant figures in British art: Trevor Price\, Barbara Rae and Donald Hamilton Fraser. The exhibition focuses on landscape as structure and sensation rather than description. Trevor Price’s woodcuts and engravings build dense surfaces through repeated line\, capturing water\, woodland\, vegetation and reflection with quiet intensity. Barbara Rae’s prints use colour and compression to hold coast\, sea and sky in dynamic balance. Donald Hamilton Fraser’s work centres on horizon and division\, using strong colour relationships to create tension\, depth and rhythm. \nThese are substantial works on paper\, selected for their scale and visual weight. Shorelines and Horizons offers a focused encounter with how three artists approach landscape through print\, each using different means to address light\, distance and movement. The exhibition rewards sustained looking and will appeal to collectors seeking confident\, collectable prints with strong physical presence. Shown together\, the works reveal both contrast and shared ground\, reinforcing printmaking as a medium capable of ambition\, impact and lasting relevance.

SUMMARY:Christina Taylor-Smith: Zen Garden
DESCRIPTION:Christina Taylor-Smith is a British printmaker whose work uses line\, texture and colour to map the pull between natural rhythms and human-made structures. This exhibition focuses on her new Oxford body of work. Expect layered prints with a strong sense of surface and light\, built through drawn marks\, embossing and\, in some pieces\, metal leaf. \nThe starting point is a crane motif\, chosen for its associations with wisdom\, longevity\, and renewal. Christina developed the work while researching Waterperry Gardens and the ideas behind The Printed Garden\, tracing links between observation\, philosophy\, and the love of wisdom. In a time that can feel loud and uncertain\, the work holds space for attention\, clarity\, and quiet strength. \nChristina studied fine art in Brussels and at the Surrey Institute in Farnham and was Head of Printmaking and Artist in Residence at South Hill Park Arts Centre.

SUMMARY:Makila Nsika (M.Kala): Pattern\, Texture\, Ornament
DESCRIPTION:New Ashgate Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Makila Nsika (M.Kala)\, winner of the Rising Stars 2025 Award. The exhibition brings together new jewellery and object-based work shaped by Makila’s ongoing research into pattern\, repetition\, and surface\, developed through careful making and collaboration. \nMakila is a London-based teacher\, designer and jeweller whose practice connects contemporary jewellery with cultural heritage and responsible material choices. Her use of stones is now focused within a single collection\, using lab-grown diamonds and potentially other lab-grown stones. Alongside this collection\, Makila has developed a series of rings with hand-textured surfaces made in collaboration with an artisan\, where tactile pattern becomes the main visual and conceptual language. \nThe exhibition also introduces a larger-scale work in development using raffia\, drawing on histories of body ornament. This new piece considers ornament as a social and cultural structure that can frame\, reveal\, or obscure the body\, informed by Makila’s dual cultural inheritance\, African and European. A selection of work will be available to buy\, offering collectors the chance to acquire pieces from an emerging practice at a key stage of growth.
