Gallery Pangolin

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.
Quenington Old Rectory – only every two years
Posted by Culture Vulture in Art, Events on May 11th, 2009
We’re already getting excited at the thought of June’s FRESH AIR 09 set in the riverside gardens of Quenington Old Rectory, near Cirencester. It’s a mash up of traditional posh Cotswolds house and outdoor sculptures by 90 artists. The event only happens every two years and is a brilliant excuse for a weekend in the Cotswolds. In spite of there now being a vast range of gardens and parks showing contemporary work, FRESH AIR OFFERS one of the broadest range of ideas in a smallish space. Work is for sale too – from £50 up to £12,000 with one or two more expensive pieces up to £35,000.
Just taking this year’s entry on materials alone there is cement, bronze, mosaic, glass, resin, steel, wood, mixed media installation, textiles, buon fresco, ironwork, ceramic, rubber, brick, lettering, water, perspex, willow, slate, astro turf, scrap metal and sound,.
FRESH AIR is very different from an urban gallery or public art. Visitors love the chance to wander free – physically, intellectually and visually. It’s a kind of freedom and some of the sculpture is breathtaking.
