Dutch artist Rob van Hoek returns to the gallery this Winter with a new headline exhibition.

Living in the centre of a busy city he says his work is in some part an attempt to compensate for his longing for the wild landscapes he loves. There is subsequently a restful, romantic quality to Rob’s paintings. With warm tones and careful composition he paints idealised pastoral scenes of interlocking fields and winding country lanes with birds flying though them on undisclosed journeys, and ultimately creates a view upon which we can rest our minds and day dream. Human presence is normally deliberately absent from his work.

We'll be opening Rob's new exhibition on Friday 24 November at our Winter Social - stay tuned for more details and reserve your spot below!
