10 Artists & Makers
Weiss Gallery, Jermyn St, London
10 - 18 March 2023
We are a group of 10 artists and makers who have come together for this show. We use a broad, inclusive mix of methods and materials and are all very happy to be showing in this important central London gallery. The Weiss Gallery have given us the unique opportunity to curate and present our work in their space.
For us this is an exciting and unusual opportunity to share opinion and perspective across traditionally separated disciplines. This is rare for visitors too as they are offered direct access to the artists as well as their work in the same space.
The Weiss Gallery is an internationally respected gallery dealing in Tudor, Stuart and North European old master portraiture. For over 50 years they have sourced, identified, catalogued, conserved and restored important parts of our shared painting history. The informed specialist expertise of galleries like The Weiss Gallery are just as important to working artists as they are to collectors of old masters.
