Overview

John Martin Gallery presents Moss Light, Painting the Atlantic Woods, an exhibition of paintings by Andrew Gifford, which extends across our two first-floor galleries and continues at 38 Albemarle Street. The result of a two-year journey into remote, ancient woodlands, the exhibition captures the vanishing temperate rainforests of Britain and Ireland through over 50 works, painted on-site in Southwest England, Wales, Cumbria, Scotland, and Ireland.
