This September marks one momentous year since we opened the doors to No. 1 High Street, our gallery in the heart of Stamford. Over the past twelve months, we’ve welcomed new faces and old friends alike, sharing in the joy of discovery, conversation and creativity. From festive wreath workshops, Garden in the Gallery and the unforgettable solo exhibition of Kenneth Webb, the year has been filled with moments to celebrate. We now look ahead with excitement to Georgina Potter’s first solo exhibition this October, a milestone that reflects her way of seeing, capturing both the British landscape and views from abroad.

This catalogue brings together a carefully curated selection of paintings and sculptures, from the monumental to the miniature, from the sun-warmed shores of the Mediterranean to the cool, quiet fields of Suffolk. There is something here for every collector: dramatic seascapes, romantic still lifes and intimate views of the natural world. Some works command with scale and drama, others invite with quiet detail. All are united by excellence, atmosphere and the artist’s hand.

We are especially proud to present Raymond Thibésart’s monumental diptych Scène de Labour and Scène de Cueillette, among the most ambitious works of his career. Alongside them sit moments of gentle observation: a scattering of puppies, a pomegranate split just so, a sluice gate caught in winter light. It is this range of scale, subject and emotional register, that gives the collection its vitality.

As ever, this catalogue is a reflection of our eye as curators and our passion as art dealers. It honours the legacy of those we have long championed and welcomes new voices into the fold. Above all, it is a celebration of the enduring power of art to move, to inspire and to connect.

We look forward to welcoming you to our galleries in London and Stamford, and to sharing our latest acquisitions with you in person in the months to come.
