Tidal Ground: new paintings by Ilse Marandi
Ilse Marandi spent two winters painting one stretch of estuary at low tide, and Tidal Ground brings fourteen of those canvases together for the first time. The paintings drift between mud, water and sky until the line separating them almost disappears.
Every work in the show is for sale. The smaller studies can be bought below, while the large canvases are sold by enquiry so that a viewing, delivery and hanging can be arranged around you.
- On the walls until 14 December
- Artist talk on Saturday 22 November at 15:00
- Fourteen paintings and six oil studies
Works for sale
Prints are signed and numbered in editions of fifty or fewer, and every original comes with a certificate signed by the artist. Works above $2,500 are sold by enquiry.

Inside the gallery
Opening nights, the print room and the people who pack and hang the work.
Collectors and visitors (example reviews)
The director spent an hour with us in front of two paintings and never once pushed. The one we chose arrived crated, and the technicians hung it at exactly the right height.
A first print, bought online, framed in oak and delivered within the week. It still looks better than anything else on that wall.
Openings here are relaxed, and nobody minds if you come only to look. Every show is properly hung and properly lit.
Buying, shipping and visiting
Is there a charge to visit the gallery?
No. Exhibitions are open to everyone during opening hours, and no ticket or booking is needed.
How are the prints signed and numbered?
Each print is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist, and the edition size is stated beside it. When an edition sells out it is never printed again.
Can a work be reserved?
Yes, for 48 hours while you decide, by message or by phone. After that it goes back on sale.
Where do you ship to?
Prints go to most countries by tracked post, and originals travel crated and insured. Delivery is charged at checkout for anything with a price and quoted separately for larger pieces, and import duties, which vary by country, are paid on arrival.
Can a larger work be paid for over time?
For originals above $2,500 the gallery can agree up to ten monthly payments, arranged directly with us. The work stays in the gallery until the final payment.
Do you look at work from new artists?
Twice a year, in March and September. Send a short email with a link to your work and a few lines about how you make it.
Ask about a work
