FRANCIS HAMEL
‘Thirty Gardens’
From Levens Hall in winter to Great Dixter and the Trap Ground Allotments in summer, Francis Hamel’s new exhibition, Thirty Gardens, is the result of an eighteen-month painting odyssey taking the artist to some of the country’s most beautiful locations. Painting at dawn and dusk, when the light is low, the shadows are long and the gardens are at their most magical, Hamel’s paintings delight in unexpected views and the search for those perfect moments when emotion, light and structure combine.
