Knight Webb Gallery is now located in Battersea, opposite The Royal College of Art.

Our new address is: 58 Battersea Bridge Rd, London SW11 3AG
Our contact details will remain the same (Tel: 07939 530326 / Email: info@knightwebbgallery.com )

Our opening event and exhibition will be ‘IN A SILENT WAY 2018’, a duo show with artists Anders Knutsson and Lesley Hilling. It will run from 31st May – 26th June 2018

Private view: Wednesday, 6 June 6-9pm

Gallery opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 11am – 6pm



Some of you will have noticed that a jeweller called Chez Veronique is currently installed in my Brixton gallery. Veronique will work out of our Atlantic Road space for at least 6 months, allowing me freedom to concentrate on Battersea.

 I am looking forward to a breath of fresh Thames air, new friends, new collectors and a proper commute by bicycle.

In A Silent Way | 2018 Battersea

Tuesday, June 5th, 2018

Knight Webb Gallery’s opening exhibition at our new space in Battersea is a revival of In a Silent Way with artists Anders Knutsson and Lesley Hilling. The combination of organic wooden structures and gentle monochrome painting demonstrates a natural connection between artistic styles, both visibly and conceptually.

 

Knutsson’s paintings are a synthesis of Nordic and American culture, combining Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, and Northern Romanticism. Equilibrium and understatement are the foundation of everything Knutsson creates.

Hilling’s wall sculptures instantly recognisable for their organic, architectural forms and understated elegance. In her practice there is a system of scouring the streets for materials, and sometimes destroying them before their transformation into sculpture. Lesley values nostalgia. Her house and her sculpture practice are testament to a strong attachment to the past. The recycling of materials has grown out of her core values.
