Bright White by Anna Kirk Smith

Anna Kirk Smith has supplied The Land gallery with eight new pieces of recent work, completed around the British coast at varying altitudes and in many weathers.

I am currently working on an installation piece for a forthcoming muti-media exhibition entitled the 'Ghosts of Gone Birds', the brainchild of filmamker Ceri Levy that has gained the backing of Birdlife International and the RSPB. 100 species extinct in the last 400 years, 100 artists exploring their legacies and portents for the future - not only for the current bird population but for humans themselves.

I have the absolute pleasure to be working with the (ex) Spectacled Cormorant (pictured above) and am visiting the Tring branch of the Natural History Museum shortly to see 2 of the only 6 specimens worldwide. I'll let you know more about the piece and the exhibition details as it progresses. I'm really going to enjoy the physical challenge of this one.

I know it's a bit early - but have a great Christmas and New Year anyway.

We have just uploaded 6 new pieces from Hemlata Pradhan, which featured in her exhibition at the British Museum’s Indian themed exhibitions last Summer. A couple of the new paintings are shown below. Visit her collection to view the new works as well as her other pieces and note that a few are available as either watercolours or as prints.

In other news, we were delighted to see that Hemlata’s work featured in the national press toward the end of last year, with Kate Weinberg of the Daily Telegraph contrasting her endeavours with the brush to the difficulties of growing orchids. Well done Hemlata!

If you are following The Land Gallery’s news page, or if you are visiting for the first time, please note that we have archived all the news from 2009. However, it is still available by clicking the ‘2009’ link at the bottom of the list of categories to the left of this page.
