NIGEL BUXTON – Angels, Folds & Shadows – 24 March – 17 April, 2026

Nigel Buxton presents an exhibition of illusory draped fabric – curvaceous, full and lush – emerging from deep shadows with a chiaroscuro glow. In smaller painting angels, as solid as statues, appear in landscapes or, in another, an angel from an Leonardo’s Virgin in the Rocks is extracted from the grotto and reframed. Although we may at first be persuaded by the illusionary nature of these works, on closer inspection we see lively brush marks and deft gestures which reminds us that we are indeed looking at the physicality of oil paint.
