MYAKIN by Matthew Fleming
13th to 25th January
Open View: Saturday 17th January 5-7pm

A curated edit of European decorative arts, furniture, lighting and objects —from early 20th-century artisans and studios to contemporary craftsmanship. MYAKIN focuses on sculptural form, material integrity and the quiet drama of well-made things. Pieces are sourced across Europe and the America’s, selected for their character, provenance and the way they sit in a room. Founded by Matthew Fleming, MYAKIN brings together design research, field sourcing and careful restoration to introduce singular works into contemporary interiors. Each item is individually photographed, catalogued and described with an emphasis on clarity, authorship and historical context. This exhibition stands as a distilled expression of the artist’s biography - compressing years of influences, encounters and internal shifts into a coherent visual language.

Through a Glass Darkly
by Will Teather
28th January to 8th February
Private View: Saturday 31st January 5-7pm

This exhibition brings together a number of Teather’s obsessions over the last 10 years. The works are both diverse and instantly recognisable through their theatricality and sense of spectacle. The artist is always attempting to take painting “on a walk,” somewhere unexpected. The most familiar work here may be Teather’s magical realist paintings, which see unusual characters caught in uncanny situations. A collection of luminescent reinterpretations of Rembrandt’s self portraits attempt to explode the “noisy brushwork in the originals.” These are juxtaposed with the sharp geometry of the artist’s fractal reinterpretations of Old Masters paintings, that reveal the underlying energy points in these compositions. The artist’s latest pivot has been to paint in diffused tones the sublime and childhood wonderment. His most radical works may be his painted globes, which create immersive worlds that reinvent traditional forms of perspective. “Very clever... and beautiful.” BBC News "Teather's works frequently wrenches us back and forth through time and style; As we are shifted between romanticism and classicism we are left entranced, entertained and certainly captivated by the uncertainties." Professor Neil Powell, writer for Wall Street International "Teather's work is arresting, heart-stopping and exquisitely executed." Laura Williams, Art historian, East Publishing / Art 1821 "A leading UK artist." Press and Journal, Scotland Will Teather is known for creating arresting images that reveal a unique imagination combined with a mastery of traditional skills. The artist's paintings often depict curious characters caught up in uncanny situations. He has had an international career which included a spell as Anteros Artist-in-Residence and later joining their board of directors, helping to secure the current Norwich venue. His studio is based in Tombland, Norwich.

Liz Vennard - A Solo Exhibition
27th January to 8th February

Liz Vennard is a musician and visual artist living and working in Norwich. She has been painting for nearly thirty years, exploring a wide range of media including glass painting, etching, oil, and watercolour. Her current practice focuses primarily on abstract acrylic works on canvas. Vennard embraces an intuitive approach to painting, finding freedom in the process itself and allowing each work to unfold without a predetermined outcome. Texture and colour play a central role in her practice, informed by a deep connection to the natural environment. The Norfolk coastline - its seas and beaches, along with the shifting light of sunrises and sunsets - provides ongoing inspiration for her work. Through her paintings, Vennard hopes to convey the passion and sense of discovery that drive her creative process, inviting viewers to connect emotionally with the works on display.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust - 2025 Nature Photography Competition
17th to 22nd February
Private View: 19th February 5-7pm

This exhibition showcases the winning and highly commended photos from our 2025 Nature Photography Competition, which saw over 1,100 photos showcasing Norfolk’s landscapes, wildlife and plants submitted. Taking on the task of narrowing down the entries was our panel of judges: photographers Megan James, Fiona Burrage and Jimmy King; graphic designer Hannah Moulton; and NWT Youth Forum member Josh Pepper. The top photos feature in our 2026 calendar, available to purchase from our visitor centres, with the highly commended photos also featuring in this exhibition. Our judges chose photos they thought best showed the beauty of Norfolk’s nature through the eyes of the people that love it. This year’s Overall Winner, Alan Dixon’s fox cubs, perfectly captured the characters of the cubs playing on a warm spring evening. The judges saw many impressive images by young photographers, with their favourite, 22-year-old Nathan Allen’s fox, winning them over with its skillful capturing of the fox’s inquisitiveness. This year we introduced a Mobile Phone Photography category, with winner Lori Coral captivating the judges with her photo of startled pigeons taking flight above Norwich Market – capturing a moment familiar to anyone walking through city! With thanks to world-leading optics manufacturer ZEISS for their sponsorship of our competition, along with brilliant local companies Lisa Angel, SOP, and WILD Sounds & Books. We hope this exhibition highlights the amazing range of wildlife, habitats and talented people to be found across our county, as well as inspiring you to get creative and have a go at wildlife photography yourself!
