Susan Bonham – Serendipity |
 |
| Artist and Photographer Susan
Bonham displays her recent collection of Contemporary Abstract
Photographic prints in the O3 Gallery. These form part of
a larger series of contemporary abstract composite images
that were inspired by her long-term fascination with texture
and colour found in the built environment. The images are
a natural progression from the large abstract canvasses Bonham
has painted previously, drawing on grid structures. Bonham
is particularly interested in the relationships that are
formed between the individual 'cells' within a grid and how
these elements affect a whole composition. |

Stephen Gray – Treescapes
and Skylines |
 |
An exhibition of Stephen
Gray's current expressive series of ink and watercolour
paintings, exploring the countryside and waterways where
he lives in Oxfordshire.
Stephen studied at the West Sussex College of Design and
has a background in graphic design and illustration, working
for design consultancies and advertising agencies in the
UK and overseas. His paintings reflect aspects of his training
and experience, showing a keen eye for graphic content, surface
texture and detail, all tied to a strong use of colour. |

Christ
Church Collection |
 |
Christ Church
is unique among the Oxford and Cambridge colleges in possessing
an important collection of Old Master paintings and drawings
- some 300 paintings and almost 2000 drawings.
The collection is strong in Italian art, from the 14th to
the 18th century:
there are paintings by early, often anonymous masters, and
works by Fillippino Lippi, Tintoretto, Veronese and Annibale
Carracci, to name but a few, as well as works by notable
northern painters such as Van Dyck, Frans Hals and Hugo van
der Goes.
The Picture Gallery at Christ Church represents one of the
most important private collections of drawings in the country,
including works by renowned masters such as Leonardo, Michelangelo,
Durer, Raphael and Rubens. However, for reasons of conservation
these works cannot be on permanent display. |

Still one of Oxford’s
Best Kept Secrets - 40 years of Christ Church Picture Gallery |
 |
| Forty years ago, on the 2nd
May 1968, Christ Church Picture Gallery was opened by the
Her Majesty the Queen. Christ Church’s art collection
was now housed in a purpose-built, prize-winning gallery
by the architect team Powell & Moya. With this act Christ
Church opened its famous collection of Old Master paintings
and drawings to the public. The Picture Gallery has since
then become a fixture for every art lover within and outside
of Oxford. |

Paintings |

‘The Doors are
perfect paintings; a relief from the picture world I’ve
created for myself.’ Gary
Hume
Twenty years after Gary Hume emerged onto the British
art scene with his Door Paintings, we present the first-ever
survey of this rich body of work.
Large-scale, monochrome canvases painted with gloss house
paint and based on the institutional doors of hospitals,
