“I always want to find a space to house another work by one of Thackeray Gallery’s artists.
Their artists’ works on our walls delight us every day.”

FIONA McALPINE : 10 – 27 February 2026
We are delighted to announce Fiona McAlpine’s fifth solo show at Thackeray Gallery. With her instinctive and colourful palette, Fiona paints vibrant and decorative oils depicting the landscape that surrounds her, flowers from the garden and the general chaos on her kitchen table.
“When I’m painting, I love to dance across the canvas, with intensely colourful brush marks, creating an image of my feelings for the landscape and interiors where I live and work.”

SIMON POOLEY : 10 – 25 March 2026
We are delighted to announce Simon Pooley’s very first solo show at Thackeray Gallery. Simon Pooley is a British painter whose mixed-media landscapes are inspired by the rugged terrain and light of West Cornwall. His exhibition at Thackeray Gallery showcases a collection of paintings that unfold like visual journeys through land, sea, and sky.
“Then there’s the moment in the making of a painting which is like the lifting of a mist, and everything becomes clear. The path can be seen, and although it may twist and turn, it is well defined.”
