A Natural Perspective
‘A Natural Perspective’ is the space to find Forkner’s detailed and intricate drawings of all-things wildlife. Exquisitely rendered and lifelike, his drawings of animals and birds are observed in their natural habitat, this is a natural fit for WOA’s beautiful light surroundings situated in the heart of Bampton. |

Curvilinear
Tracy and Sally began collaborating with their exhibitions because they recognised the way their art forms complement one another. The straightness of photographic architecture, both internal and external and the way ceramics introduces us to natural textures, shapes and lines. It is a collaboration that takes your senses on a journey and soothes us into Autumn. |

Pip Shuckburgh: A painter’s life after Downton
More than 40 paintings by Pip Shuckburgh, before and after the phenomenon that is Downton Abbey made her paintings known worldwide. Her brilliantly composed paintings feature stately homes, factories, oil refineries, donkey and topiary. |

UNDERPINNING
The word 'underpinning' is evocative of many things from the history and archaeology of a city to personal concepts that signify and generate practice. For this exhibition each artist has taken her own ideas to make a collection of textile related work. When all six are put together they show a fascinating variety of form, methodology and inspiration. |

ArtWeeks
Oxfordshire’s C21 Group is one of the county’s longest-established creative art groups. Painting exclusively in oil, the group’s members share a passion for colour, tone and composition, giving their diversity of style a sense of harmony. The members gather at Stanton St John once a week to paint and to exchange ideas, while supporting and encouraging one another in their endeavours. Eleven artists are showing their paintings in our gallery during Artweeks. |

BEYOND OBSERVATION: Exposing Nature and Self
Two very passionate artists whose work powerfully expresses as much about themselves as it does about their chosen landscapes. Nicki’s intricate surfaces are built up in oil and cold wax; Sally’s paintings are often a web of overlayed colour and mark. Both artists express deep understanding of their chosen subjects. This exhibition develops time-honoured themes about nature and atmosphere in new and exciting ways that are both universal and deeply personal. |

URBAN: Six Photographers
Six professional photographers are showing their documentary and fine art images of urban scenes from locations ranging from Oxford to New York City to the West Bank in Israel/Palestine. Some stark and emotional, some warm and romantic, some almost abstract in their composition, the range of photographic techniques and vision is fascinating. This exhibition clearly underlines the confident position photography holds in the world of art, and it's importance to reportage. |
