Petleys

From Wednesday, the 7th of December to Monday, the 31st of January

The Directors and Staff of Petleys wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year. We would like to invite you to come and enjoy our Winter exhibition over the festive period, the ideal place to find the most discerning of Christmas Presents. A selection of over 80 works is on show from some of the most exciting artists in Europe.

From Thursday, the 17 of November to Friday, the 2 of December

We are proud to present to you an exhibition of recent works by T. W. Quinn, from Thursday the 17th of November to Friday the 2nd of December, 2011.

A life dedicated to art? Yes, and a heart and soul, too. As this exhibition opens he will have just reached the grand age of 93, but in his rambling, light-filled studio in the Dordogne, Tom Quinn continues to paint every day, “while the light lasts” - depicting in beautifully soft, chalky hues the world around him - busy cafés, bustling markets, intimate interiors, a game of boules, dappled sunlight in a summer garden and colour-splashed picnics by the river. Impressionist, personal observations of la France profonde, executed with his brushes but painted with his heart and soul.

In the late 1940s Tom attended the Camberwell School of Art, London and was fortunate to study under such tutors as Lawrence Gowing, as well as Victor Pasmore and William Coldstream, founders of the celebrated Euston Road School.

Given his special talent and with the benefit of such teaching, it is hardly surprising that Tom has worked all his life as a painter. Both he and his fellow artist and friend, Roy Petley, have certainly come a long way, though, since the days in the early '70s when they used to hang their work, while the daylight lasted, on the railings at Green Park. They have remained the closest of friends since those heady times: a wonderful testament to the enduring power of art.
