Resident Artists
Laurence Yombwe
Lawrence Yombwe is the Godfather of art in Zambia. Sought after by all discerning art collectors, his work is steeped in Bemba folklore, spirits and people going about their every day business. He paints uniquely on hessian, building his colours and textures with mixed layers of oil and acrylics. His colours are earthy and softly vibrant and convey a real and yet etherial quality that is captivating and magical.
Radu Tesaro
Radu Tesaro is a Czech artist who has spent many years in Zambia where she developed a large and competitive base of ardent collectors. She has held a number of exhibitions both in Zambia and in Prague, and her works are in demand. Her ability to create motion; the unique brilliancy of African sunlight; the vibrancy and beauty of African colour makes her work exceptional.
Carl Longworth
Carl Longworth's work is one of the finest in brass sculpture you'll find in the UK. Its an enormous privilege to have his work in the gallery. His attention to detail without making the subject belaboured is sensitive, artistic with an expression of movement and pure character that epitomises the "jizz" of that bird.
Utter utter joy.
Mathew Edenbrow
Mathew Edenbrow is a well recognised sculptor specialising in wildlife. With a PhD in Animal Behaviour, he draws inspiration from this understanding and his works capture the small changes in expression and body form that confirm them as sentient and beautiful beings.
His sculptures have real presence.

Lawrence Yombwe
Yombwe is considered to be the Grandfather of modern Zambian artists. Much in demand and very collectable, his works are much sought after. He has established many Visual Arts centres both in Lusaka and regionally. Painting oils on hessian, his work is an expression on Bemba culture, ancestral and everyday issues.

Barn Owl 111 9/25
The attitude Carl has caught on this magnificent Barn Owl as it alights on a fence post is full of life and immediacy.

The fluidity and grace of this woodcock is captivating and is a superb example of Carl's consummate skill as a bronze sculptor.
Swift 10/25
The aerodynamics and speed of flight are very apparent in this beautiful sculpture of a swift.

About the pricing of art work
What makes a piece of art work worth the price asked for?
The answer in one word: Provenance! What is provenance? - it is documented history of ownership.
In the world of current artists, this in my view also includes demand for the artists work; number of solo exhibitions in recognised galleries; awards from reputable institutions and finally, the value the artist places on their own work .
So, the art work in the gallery priced over £500 ticks all those boxes. What about gallery commission you ask; the commission in my gallery is not what pushes prices above the £500 price mark for solo exhibitions.
The gallery guarantees provenance and offers the buyer not only a piece of artwork to enjoy but also a unique opportunity to invest in something of established value.
