Beaux Arts opened a new space in Maddox Street in February 2014 after two decades in Cork Street. Here it developed a reputation for exhibiting carefully selected Modern British and innovative, contemporary painters and sculptors.
The gallery's focus is evenly divided between nurturing talent among the current generation of emerging artists - selected for their original practice as much as the aesthetic qualities of their work - and showing the work of established artists such as John Bellany, Lynn Chadwick, Patrick Heron, Roger Hilton, John Hoyland, Peter Lanyon and John Piper.
Directors Reg and Patricia Singh opened their first gallery in St Ives in 1971 representing work by the St Ives School, before opening Beaux Arts Bath in 1979. Some of these earlier artists' work now forms the core of the gallery's substantial inventory of Modern British art. Beaux Arts also represents the Estates of Terry Frost, Elisabeth Frink and others.

Final fortnight of our David Bomberg exhibition showing until Saturday April 14th.
In 1942, David Bomberg was commissioned by the War Artists Advisory Committee to paint underground bomb stores during the Second World War. This is one of a series of works that he painted during his time in the bomb store.
Our David Bomberg show continues to draw in the crowds. This beautiful painting, 'Procession in Armenian Church' (1923) has been much admired. More works by Bomberg can also be viewed in Tate Britain's current show 'All too Human,' which brilliantly represents this modern masters place and influence on British painting.
