The New English Look

19 Ryder Street

A collaborative exhibition by Fine Art Commissions and Rountree Tryon
‘The New English Look’ (23 June – 4 July)

With their shared passion for traditional subject matter, the galleries combine specialisms to showcase the elegance and charm of a classic English hang seen today. Contemporary portraits, including Royal subjects, will feature alongside period sporting, maritime and wildlife paintings. Among the artists included are Howard Morgan (1949 – 2020), Nicky Philipps (b. 1964), Jamie Coreth (b. 1989), Simon Watkins (b. 1988), Sir Alfred James Munnings (1878 – 1959), Sir Herbert James Gunn (1893 – 1964), Archibald Thorburn (1860 – 1935), John Frederick Herring Snr. (1795 – 1865) and John Cleveley Snr. (c. 1712 – 1777).

The New English Look represents an eclectic mix of art and antiques, based on large English country houses that have been assembled over many generations and fitted together in a unique style. This is especially championed by design dealers such as Robert Kime, and is key to combining a collector’s passions with more aesthetic interior designs.

Thus, a contemporary family portrait fits nicely alongside a 18th century marine, emphasising warmth, character, and a timeless, lived-in feel to a home.
