Gladstone House

Visit exhibitions and installations in the hotel and meet some of our resident artists in the Art Studio.

It Starts with a Photograph

Gladstone House features It Starts with a Photograph, four exhibitions and installations by six artists who use photographs as the starting point for experimentation and reinterpretation. Laura Butler pixelates a family photograph and recreates it in crochet. Nika Belianina and Laura Kay Keeling explore our relationship to nature in collaged and manipulated analogue and digital photographs. Heather Haynes layers paint, thread and rug hooking to create a textured and complex portrait incorporating Virginia Macdonald’s photograph. Jessica Thalmann creates architectural abstractions by folding, tearing and colouring  photographs.  

In the Art Studio, meet the hotel’s resident artists. Theodore Walker Robinson weaves on a heddle loom, Makhism creates large drawings inspired by Persian miniature painting and Ailin Dong combines textiles and technology.
