Gallery Pangolin opened in 1990, tucked away in the village of Chalford, near Stroud, on the slopes of the Cotswold escarpment. The gallery specialises in modern and contemporary bronze sculpture and sculptors’ drawings.
A changing selection of sculpture is always on show, including themed, group and solo exhibitions. The gallery revives the traditional association between foundry and gallery, selecting the best of contemporary sculpture cast in the workshops of leading art foundry Pangolin Editions.
The gallery works with a wide range of sculptors and is ideally placed to co-ordinate a broad spectrum of commissions in all sizes from monumental to intimate, for public bodies, private and corporate clients. More details can be found at www.gallery-pangolin.com.
