We warmly invite you to a preview evening on the 5th OF APRIL AT 6PM for our exhibition with works by local artist Adam De Ville.  

Lilford Gallery was one of the first places to exhibit Adam's work, since then he has exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently with Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and Royal Cambrian Academy of Art, as well as galleries in London, Dublin, and Paris. 

When reflecting on his work, Adam De Ville observes - ‘I paint to see how I’m looking at the world, to channel my raw reactions to the given subject’

Adam De Ville’s approach to painting is a deliberate one, always beginning with a strong idea, and yet in his work there is always an element of risk and chance. He does not limit himself on subject matter, he likes exploring recurring themes of displacement and belonging - storytelling is an essential part of his work.

During the show’s run you will have a wonderful opportunity to meet Adam and spend a few hours painting with him! On Sunday, the 14th of April we will be hosting an oil painting workshop with Adam! In the workshop you will spend a few hours in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere, while Adam guides you through painting a still life using oils, pencil and charcoal. As a self-taught painter Adam’s perspective is unique as he paints in an intuitive, yet deliberate way. The tickets for the workshop will be limited as we want to keep the numbers low, this way everyone will have enough time with Adam.

Keep an eye out for our emails and our social media for more information on the workshop.
