Gallery show: Summer Exhibition 2026

This year’s Summer Exhibition in the Gallery is on the theme of ‘Metamorphosis: Life cycles, decay, transformation and change in nature’. The show is a curated collection of paintings, sketches, jewellery, sculptures, photographs and basketry. The pieces have been created specifically for this show by Valentines Mansion’s resident artists – and each represents a very different interpretation of the subject matter. The featured pieces are the work of Jason Rose, Gepher Louis, Anne Eggebert, Louise Moore, Paul Good and Kirsty Wood, Amanda Seljubac, Tara Fleur and Julian Walker.
