Renew, Revive And Reset At Hamilton Gallery
‘Flower Room’ , by Pierre Botha
Coming out of the happy haze of holidays and back to ‘reality’, we are feeling refreshed, renewed and inspired to showcase art that reflects this sentiment. The start of a new year holds much anticipation mixed with unfinished business from the previous year, hence a need to re-organize, declutter (both in our minds and our homes/spaces).
Hamilton gallery is eager to create a less full, yet more meaningful space this season. While still finding inspiration in bold and vibrant pieces, Hamilton gallery will be introducing a series of structured, carefully faceted and composed works – simultaneously focusing attention on more elemental compositions with a minimalist feel and a serene colour palette.
The trend in the gallery is tending towards abstracts that are quirky and fun, artworks including texture to arouse the senses, and classic themes done in a new way: Still-lifes, flowers in vases, portraits- all with a twist.
We are anticipating more textural artworks, sculptural works that can be both functional and decorative, as well as a touch of neon to break us out of our trance, when the toned down and minimalism needs a contrasting change of mood.
We are aware that summer can’t last forever and so to make the most of the warmth and sunshine, the works on display aim to brighten, lighten and soothe. The works are chosen to uplift a space, add to an airy and light-filled interior or to stand alone as a composition or colour scheme which will draw focus and bring a room together. Sometimes all a room needs is a central point – Hamilton Gallery has a great variety of works large and small – to compliment existing décor.
‘Sunshine and Shade’, by Paloma
Paloma never fails to imagine and create new shape and colour combinations. Her art is always fun, fearless and never dull. The works are often bright yet never overbearing, and one could picture them hung next to classical pieces, as part of a wall collage or on their own. They would suit many styles of interiors, and would be equally potent displayed individually. We envision this new work displayed in a conservatory or sunroom surrounded by indoor plants and perhaps a contrasting earthenware vessel or two.
Pierre Botha is a keen observer , with an eye for colour and composition. His ‘Flower Room’ and ‘Arum lily’ paintings are both decorative and intriguing. He breaks the traditional still-life up into segments, carefully creating various ‘planes’ which result in an exciting mix of colour , line, shape and perspective. Although busy, these works have a serenity and peace about them, making them a perfect choice for an artwork that will remain timeless in a home interior.

Julian Mazery has spent many years perfecting his technique, making original art pieces out of paper (cut and torn), using almost Japanese/graffiti style abstract line and brushwork. His work is unique with a striking, bold, yet simple style. For those that are not yet ready for serene colour schemes and quiet tones, Mazery’s punchy works shout out that Summer is not yet gone!
