It is included in The Jewel in the Town: The Ruby Years, from July 5-August 29, and features works by 20 contemporary artists who have a long-standing association with the gallery. Each presents two paintings in keeping with the ‘ruby anniversary’ theme, many incorporating a striking red element, such as the flowers in Edwards’ picture.
The business was launched in a Cotswold manor house in 1980 by Gerard O’Farrell and Brian Sinfield and later joined by Don Steyn. Sharon Wheaton, now the owner, joined as gallery assistant in 1997.
