To celebrate the arrival of spring and Mother’s Day on Sunday, we’ve some wonderful vases and vessels by painter and ceramicist, Peter Arscott, to tempt you. Each piece is unique in shape, and decorated in vibrant patterns and sweeps of colour. Much of Peter’s work is inspired by his travels, and by a love of jazz. He was born in Lima, Peru, and only came to the UK when he was thirteen. He studied at Bristol University, moving to Barcelona and then London for several years where he worked as a Blue Badge Guide. Peter’s work is featured in several UK galleries, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in London. Peter is also a co-founder and director of the Ledbury Poetry Festival. We love his work and hope you do too. See it this weekend at Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury Farm, Inchmery Lane, Exbury, Hampshire - open 11am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. #ceramics #studioceramics #mothersdaygift #uniqueart #artshow @peter_arscott_ceramics @palaisdesvaches @stewartmechem @trinahartart @kitkempdesignthread @willowkemp @coastmaguk @salixinteriordesign @countrylivinguk @ceramicreview

Our artwork collection includes vibrant framed drawings by leading artist, Aaron Kasmin, courtesy of collaboration with Sims Reed Gallery, London. Aaron studied at the Chelsea School of Art and comes from a family of illustrious figures in the arts. His father was John Kasmin, a renowned London gallerist who first championed David Hockney at the outset of his career. Aaron’s recent work is inspired by mid-twentieth century matchbooks. He breathes new life into these throw-away ephemeral objects with bold colourful pencil drawings. Each one reflects the rise of American consumer culture and offers a glimpse into the ‘American Dream’, espoused in the bygone world of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Humphrey Bogart. Visit us this weekend at our gallery now at Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury Farm, Inchmery Lane, Exbury, Hampshire, to enjoy and buy these unique pieces. #art #artwork #drawing #exhibition #collectart @simsreed_gallery @palaisdesvaches @stewartmechem @stbarbemuseum @kitkempdesignthread @aaronkasmin @theworldofinteriors @trinahartart

We were thrilled to take delivery yesterday of Chris Whittaker’s most recent exquisite painting. We still remember seeing Chris’s artwork for the first time, and were astounded by his eye for detail and the scale at which he works. Much of Chris’s work is inspired by ‘the messy bits of nature that go unnoticed or just get stepped over’ - from windblown hawthorn bushes on Lymington sea wall to daisies growing on Chris’s lawn. You can enjoy and buy Chris’s work this weekend at Coastal Gallery at Palais des Vaches - open on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. #art #artwork #artshow #artexhibition @palaisdesvaches @thecwhittaker @stewartmechem @salixinteriordesign @trinahartart

In 2012, Stewart Mechem and Bev Saunders became co-owners of Coastal Gallery, Lymington. Both with backgrounds in the fashion and design world, Stewart and Bev have always been particularly interested in featuring contemporary abstract artwork. The Coastal Gallery collection, now in two stunning galleries(see images above) at Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury Farm, Exbury, includes work by Martyn Brewster, Neil Canning, Gohar Goddard, Joanne Last, Stephen Powell and, most recently, renowned artist Felice Hodges. Born in New York, Felice first gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London and trained as a pianist. She then returned to America to study fine art at Cornell University. Felice now works from studios in London and Dorset, and her work is in private and public collections nationally and internationally. Felice’s wonderful colour combinations, unexpected compositions and subtle mark making are often inspired by her love of music, from Debussy and Ravel to jazz and Joni Mitchell. You can enjoy and buy Felice’s stunning work this weekend at Palais des Vaches, Lower Exbury Farm, Inchmery Lane, Exbury - open 11am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. #art #artwork #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartwork @felice_hodges @martynbrewster @neilcanningart @gohargoddard1 @joannelast @stephen_powell_art @palaisdesvaches @stewartmechem @trinahartart @stbarbemuseum @coastmaguk @limewoodhotel @stanwellhousehotel @chewtonglen @uni_southampton_wsa @elledecorationuk @theworldofinteriors @pad_studiouk @salixinteriordesign @jojomacnamarainteriordesign @kitkempdesignthread @sohohouse

Neil has an honorary degree from the University of Exeter in recognition of his contribution to contemporary art in Britain, and his work is in national and international collections. Here is a taste of Neil’s work, including details from larger paintings. To enjoy and buy Neil’s superb work, visit Coastal Gallery at Palais des Vaches today - open now until 4pm, and tomorrow 11am to 4pm.
