Jonathan Cooper: 30 Years

To mark the 30th Anniversary of the opening of the gallery in Park Walk, we are delighted to announce Jonathan Cooper: 30 Years, a group exhibition celebrating the best of contemporary figurative painting, drawing and sculpture.

This milestone exhibition, which includes 31 international artists represented by the gallery, highlights Jonathan Cooper’s continued passion to discover and promote artists demonstrating a new viewpoint within the genres of wildlife, botanical, landscape and still life.

I am driven by a continued desire to nurture today’s contemporary figurative masters and discover those of tomorrow.
