Meakin + Parsons have opened a new gallery space in Oxford this month complementing their existing space. The new space will see the addition of a new partner to the gallery: Hannah Payne of The Art Five who will be presenting emerging contemporary artists as part of the Meakin + Parsons gallery programme of exhibitions.
Under the leadership of Lucy Meakin, the business will also continue their advisory service, helping private clients with building and managing their collections, and Ben Parsons will focus on the modern and contemporary programme alongside the gallery’s strong secondary market activity.
Meakin + Parsons Gallery has opened with a group exhibition, curated in collaboration with Hannah Payne and titled ‘Here We Go’ featuring artists: Carl Anderson, Dominic Beattie, Christopher Brooks, Ham Darroch, Ann-Marie James, Jillian Knipe, Anna Liber Lewis, Zanny Mellor, Barbara Nicholls, Charley Peters, Bridget Riley, Toby Twiss, Robin Walden, Eleanor May Watson, and Emily Wolfe.
This will be followed by a series of solo exhibitions, the first being a Bridget Riley print show in March 2022. In addition to the exhibition space the new gallery has an artist’s studio dedicated to a series of artist residencies. The first artist in the studio is Oxford-based Emily Wolfe
The new gallery is also located near Oxford’s leading arts and cultural institutions, The Ashmolean, Pitt Rivers Museum, and Modern Art Oxford.
