Info
How do you describe your Gallery?:
Visit us to enjoy world-class exhibitions, learn more about Sidney Nolan’s life and work, explore 17th Century Rodd Court and relax in our extensive gardens and grounds set in the beautiful Welsh Marches near Presteigne. The Sidney Nolan Trust is a registered charity, founded by the Australian artist Sir Sidney Nolan in 1985. Nolan was a leading artist of the 20th century, and his Ned Kelly paintings became iconic. Today the Trust’s work is inspired by his life-long experimentation, innovation and passion for creativity, as well as his love for the environment. We care for the world’s largest collection of his artwork, his extensive archives, as well as his former home The Rodd.
Our exhibitions present artwork from our collection, as well as exhibitions by contemporary artists. Our learning, events and residency programmes support children, young people, adults, and artists to learn, exchange ideas and create.
Do you specialise in any particular artform or craft?:
Contemporary art in all mediums including paint, print, sculpture, film etc.
What's important to you when you choose whose work to exhibit and sell?:
Quality, relevance.
What's coming up this year?:
PAINTING WITH LIGHT March 23, 2024 - May 11, 2024: Launched in 1981, Quantel’s computer graphics workstation, the ‘Paintbox’ marked the dawn of the digital image and changed the visual world forever. The exhibition reveals the first digital artwork ever created by Sidney Nolan as well as other important artists pioneering this technology.
KATE GREEN: AT THE WATER'S EDGE May 16, 2024 - July 13, 2024: Kate wanders and wonders in the local landscape, drawing from archaeological artefacts, social history and academic research. Exploring across disciplines, but with story at its heart, her work is shared with a playful touch. At the Water’s Edge presents a musical map of Glacial Lake Wigmore, inspired by a postcard Sidney Nolan sent from his 1964 journey to Antarctica.
DAISY DIXON: A PRESENCE, A HOME? May 16, 2024 - July 13, 2024: What is left behind? Where does someone’s presence reside? What remnants endure?: Daisy’s work seeks out concealed narratives within home spaces, employing speculation and personal experiences to unravel the past. Images created using drawing, print and photography will occupy the space in different ways to heighten the sense of what Daisy has discovered through her engagement with the environment of Rodd Court and its occupation.
HOGBACK HILLS July 18, 2024 - September 28, 2024: The picturesque Hogback Hills above Kington are Pre-Cambrian volcanoes and the oldest rocks in Wales. This exhibition presents new drawings, paintings, photography and sculpture by over 20 artists to reveal and illuminate the extraordinary geological, ecological and human story of Hanter Hill, Worsell Wood and Stanner Rocks.
