Gallery exhibitions
The Exhibition Gallery at HCA is known as Bloomsbury Design and was established in 2006 by Christiane ten Hoopen and Hugh Cullum.
Current Exhibition
Lino cuts by Sophie Lewisohn
Sophie lives in the historic Jordaan district of Amsterdam and many of her lively prints show everyday scenes of bicycles, markets and canals of the area. Most of the prints are single colour, giving a dense patterned collage of scenes and object which encourage the viewer to look more closely and discover the multiple subjects depicted.
This is the third exhibition Sophie has shown at Bloomsbury Design.
Bloomsbury Design is a window gallery, open for sales on weekdays during office hours, and open to view 24 hours a day from the street.
Our exhibitions are chosen simply on the basis of appeal and design merit. They range from interior design and ethnic craft (textiles, furniture, ceramics) to the work of painters, sculptors and other artists. We have a catholic approach and welcome interest from potential exhibitors. A free-form exhibition opportunity like this contributes to an area already defined by the tradition of literary Bloomsbury and the nearby British Museum and British Library.
Recent Exhibition
Block-printed Textiles at Stodmarsh Studio
Working in Stodmarsh Studio, East Kent, Matthew Meadows uses a direct hand block-printing method which has evolved on the Asian subcontinent over many centuries. Together with resist and discharge processes, hand block textile printing activity continues to thrive there despite competition from the screen, rotary and other modern textile printing which dominate the global textile industry.
