a room of small paintings The works in the exhibition date between 2010 to 2015 and focus on different locations across Britain. Included in the show will be oils from Uglow’s travels across Scotland, studies of the Great Ouse River and the sea of Lundy off the North Cornish Coast, as well as paintings from Cornwall, near to where the artist lives. He is also displaying a charming selection of works painted in Cambridgeshire, depicting the quintessential English landscape; a land of Constable and echos of Blake’s hymn. All the work in the exhibition was created in situ and are based on the artist’s direct response to the landscape in front of him. A particular highlight in this exhibition is the work which Uglow made during his epic voyage across the Scottish coast from Solway Firth to the Outer Hebrides; following the footsteps of William Daniell.
