David Quinn
Stookeen 16 September - 9 October 2021 Purdy Hicks is pleased to present a new exhibition of paintings by Irish artist David Quinn.

Leila Jeffreys
HIgh Society 4 - 26 June 2021 High Society is the result of more than five years of planning and commitment; a pledge to making the impossible possible.

Jonathan Delafield Cook

The Dürer of the lump of coal, via his chosen medium you look into the soul of animate... Read more

Diana Matar

Takashi Arai
1000 Days / 1000 Mirrors 21 October - 8 December 2020 In a world rapidly turning towards the digital in every aspect, Takashi Arai is one of the world’s few remaining photographers who choose to express their artistic vision with the daguerreotype silver plate photographic process.

Rebooting Nature
9 July - 2 September 2020 For years artists, along with scientists, have been showing us the world is changing.
