John Brenton
FEATURED ARTIST
30th July to 18th August 2026
John’s new collection explores the landscapes around Rock, Porthilly, Polzeath and Daymer Bay, in a palette that radiates the blue and gold tones of North Cornwall at the height of summer, when the beach grass is high and sailboats grace the waters of the Camel. His richly textured artworks accentuate the shimmer of sunlight on tidal sands, the yellows of beach gorse, and the touch of a warm ocean breeze on the water.
