Details
Nestled at 8 Woodstock Road, the Carey Blyth Gallery, run by Jenny Blyth Fine Art, presents a welcoming space for art lovers in the heart of Oxford. This contemporary art gallery showcases a diverse range of artworks, including paintings, photography, and sculpture by local, national, and international artists. Visitors can expect to find both solo and mixed exhibitions, often with a focus on art grounded in the natural world, whether that be figurative or abstract. The gallery, noted for its great natural light and friendly atmosphere, provides an opportunity to discover beautiful contemporary art for your home or workplace. Jenny Blyth, with over twenty-five years of experience, including a significant period as a curator at the Saatchi Gallery (1990-2002), brings a depth of knowledge and passion to the curation of the gallery's collections and exhibitions.
The gallery has a history of compelling exhibitions, such as "Earth & Angels" and shows featuring artists like Day Bowman, whose work explores themes like the littoral shoreline, and Chloe Fremantle, known for her colourful and reflective compositions. Past exhibitions have also included "All The Pretty Horses" by Trish Wylie and "Pots of Plenty" which combined paintings by Anne Lynch with ceramics by Alan Berman. Jenny Blyth Fine Art also participates in broader art events, such as the Fresh Art Fair and Oxford Artweeks, showcasing artists like Susan Moxley. Though the physical Carey Blyth Gallery space closed in December 2023, Jenny Blyth Fine Art continues its mission as a "floating gallerist," curating exhibitions and advising artists, with ongoing projects and a newsletter to keep patrons informed.
