Boaz Vaadia’s stunning sculpture, Yo’ah with Dog can be seen in the August issue of Art + Auction magazine. The work features in an article about the collector Jorge Perez, and is pictured in situ within the grounds of his magnificent home. As a board member of the new Miami Art Museum, Perez’s collection has become more international in recent years, focusing increasingly on emerging and contemporary artists such as Vaadia.

Connaught Brown is pleased to announce a special evening at the gallery with award winning contemporary artist Shani Rhys James. Rhys James will be giving an engaging talk on her work to date, as well as providing an insight into her exciting year and forthcoming projects. There will be an opportunity to meet the artist and ask questions over a glass of wine.
Shani Rhys James came to prominence in the early 1990’s and is considered a Welsh national treasure. She won the Jerwood painting prize in 2003 and was awarded an M.B.E. in the New Years Honours List in 2006. Her works are held in major national collections in England and Wales, and many private collections both in the UK and internationally.
Please contact the gallery for tickets.
Connaught Brown is delighted to present an exceptional selection of works for the gallery’s Summer Exhibition.
Concentrating on post impressionist and modern master works, this beautiful collection includes an outstanding racecourse painting by Dufy, a vibrant seascape by Louis Valtat, a stunning sculpture by Henry Moore, and a selection of exciting contemporary works.

William Daniell, "Dunsky Castle, near Port Patrick, Wigtonshire" in "A Voyage round the Coasts of Scotland and the adjacent Isles" 1816
Geoff Uglow, "2Nos", 2008
The award comprises £10,000 for a project of his choosing and a solo Exhibition at Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh. It is one of the most prestigious awards in Scotland.
Following in the footsteps of 19th century artist and engraver William Daniell, Uglow will recreate his extensive journeys around Scotland’s coastline. Sketching 150 sites from Gretna and Orkney to North Berwick, Uglow will produce paintings and prints which form a visual record of the coast, in emulation of Daniell’s book of illustrations and engravings, published in 1814.
