Stewart Beckett Out of the Grey Solo exhibition

1st and 2nd March 

Saturday and Sunday

11am-4pm

Best known for his portrait work, Beckett also has a passion for landscapes and creating topical imagery that highlights issues of our time.

He regularly exhibits at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London and was recently elected an associate member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters after taking part in its prestigious annual exhibition over the last seven years.

Out of the Grey will feature a large body of work including many charcoal drawings, portrait paintings and colourful landscapes. Curated to reflect the passing of winter into spring, the show will bring together the full spectrum of Stewart’s practice into one place for the first time. The art work arrangement will take visitors on a visual journey, out of the grey to full colour through a range of paintings and drawings around the gallery.

Set in the on the banks of Beaulieu River, Palais des Vaches was created during the pandemic by Exbury Garden’s president Nick de Rothschild and his wife Caroline.

Once an agricultural milking parlour, the historic building has been lovingly transformed into a stunning exhibition space and private event venue which is open to the public most weekends. Admission is free with various pop-up dining options available.

The exhibition will then be open to the public during open weekends from Saturday 1st March.

On Saturday 8th Stewart will be hosting a two-hour Landscape in Oils demonstration session 11am-1pm. Entry is free. He will also be giving a 30-minute guided tour of Out of the Grey the same day from 2pm to 2.30pm. Entry to both is free.
