Current Exhibition:
Vose Galleries is pleased to present the exhibition The Hidden Hand: New Works by John Whalley, featuring over a dozen recently created still lifes. The artist muses, “the idea behind The Hidden Hand was to highlight both the hidden hand behind the making of the painting itself, as well as the hands that made the objects in the paintings and used them, adding the patinas and signs of use embedded on their surfaces."
(Featured painting: Colman's, by John Whalley (b. 1954))
