| Coombe Gallery is an exciting art gallery in Dartmouth selling art work by Devon artists. Run by Mark Riley, the Dartmouth based gallery is a showcase for much of the best work by contemporary British artists and makers from the South West of England - painting, sculptures, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, glass and wood. Coombe Gallery was originally set up by Paul and Tina Riley as part of the educational complex of Coombe Farm Studios dedicated to the teaching of Fine and Applied Arts and able to be viewed at www.coombefarmstudios.com. Coombe Farm Gallery is a showcase for much of the best work by contemporary artists and makers from the South West of England, an area rich in artistic tradition since the establishment of the St Ives School in Cornwall and Dartington Hall in Devon. |
We also aim to encourage new and exciting talent, not only from the UK but from around the world through such themed exhibitions as "Rising Stars"and "East meets West". This has enabled us to bring together such diverse work as the award winning Vietnamese photographer Long Than, the famous textile twins Sumiko and Yashiko Honda of Japan and stonecarvers of excellence from Zimbabwe. Coombe Gallery exhibits Paintings, Glass, Textiles, Ceramics, Jewellery, Wood, Sculpture and Photography. We represent artists and makers whose reputations have grown steadily both nationally and internationally such as painters Paul Riley, Gerry Dudgeon, Tom Rickman or Ceramicists Laurel Keeley, Christy Keeney and Jill Fanshawe Kato.
