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.”
