A RIOT OF COLOUR
SUMMER EXHIBITION 2026
Gallery opens 6 June until 5 July 2026
Our Summer Exhibition here at Talos is a popular annual event, renowned for the quality and diversity of the artwork on display.
Showcasing bronze sculptures, paintings and wall installations from internationally acclaimed artists in the unpretentious rustic beauty of our gallery buildings, and the intimate seclusion of its breath-taking gardens.
2026 will be the year of colour and we intend to have a riot.
With many more artists to be announced, this year’s exhibition features sculpture by Patricia Volk, Anya Beaumont, Sandra Camargo, Nicola Godden and Philip Booth, alongside paintings by Sebastian Ward Turner, Lucy Milne, Tom Bates and Romany Mark Bruce and digital artist Anthony Dike.
We are also delighted to welcome back Roy Evans, Amanda Hillier, Nettie Baskcomb Brown, Claire Leach and Paul Harvey.
Summer Exhibition 2026 runs from 6 June to 5 July, with new opening times of 10:30am – 4:30pm.
Save the dates in your diary, and sign up to our newsletter, Tales of Talos, to discover more about the artists and works featured in this year’s exhibition.
FEATURED ARTIST
Lucy Milne is best known for her celebrated portraits of horses and dogs and is a regular exhibitor at Badminton Horse Trials.
After more than thirty years working in pastels, she has recently begun exploring oil painting, producing bold, colourful portraits of friends, fellow artists from the Heatherley School of Art in London, and private commissions.
Drawing on her deep observational experience, Lucy’s new oil works introduce a vibrant palette that pushes her practice into exciting new territory — and perfectly embodies our theme of COLOUR.

FEATURED SCULPTOR
Patricia Volk
Patricia works directly with clay, using coiling and slab-building techniques to create one-off sculptures that are fired and finished with acrylic paint.
Challenging the misconception that classical sculpture was colourless, she uses colour to enhance simple forms and lines, often exploring contrasts such as strength and fragility, stability and precariousness.
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors (FRSS), West of England Academician (RWA), and a member of the Bath Society of Artists, her work balances stillness and movement, inviting viewers to discover their own interpretations and the individual character of each piece.
OWNER & RESIDENT ARTIST
The fusion of art and nature...
So much sculpture finds its final home in a garden it seems almost like its natural habitat; whether it’s a small piece acting as a feature amongst planting, or a huge statement creating a grand vista in parkland, sculpture has been placed in landscapes small and large for millennia.
All the senses are indulged in our gardens, planned and curated throughout the year to be on point for our Summer Exhibition.
Particularly pleased with the colour of our lupins and aromatic roses which were captured brilliantly in our Gallery Garden series of paintings commissioned from artist Valérie Pirlot.
THE GLIMMER TWINS
To celebrate our connection with Talos Art Foundry we are showcasing one of the UK's rising artists, Amy Goodman, who has been casting with us for some years now and has commissions for life-size figures stretching well into 2026.
To bring the casting process to life for our visitors we will be taking the plaster casts from two of Amy's life-size figures of Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards "The Glimmers Twins'. Accompanied by the figures in wax, the moulds and Amy's original concept drawings, additional archive photos will be on display of them being cast in bronze at the Foundry and will walk the visitor through the many steps in the bronze casting process.
The bronze statues were unveiled in Aug 2023 and are fast becoming a well loved feature of Dartford Town centre — Mick and Keith met there and the rest, as they say, is rock and roll history!

PETRIFIED SURVIVORS
Increasingly through her sculpture, Rebecca is working on projects that highlight humanitarian issues which celebrate the strength of the human spirit, and the importance of freedom to thrive.
Follow to see her latest work 'Petrified Survivors' unveiled at The Hague in June. Cast at Talos Art Foundry, Petrified Survivors is the first global memorial for survivors of sexual violence in conflict and has been designed and created with support from over 35 different organisations and in collaboration survivors from over 30 different countries.
TALOS FOUNDRY
Talos Gallery is only one part of our story. Richard established Talos Art Foundry in Andover, Hampshire, in 1998 for professional and amateur artists to cast, restore and repair bronze and silver sculptures. With over seventy established sculptors coming to Talos Foundry it has gained a reputation for specialising in casting and patination and the Foundry's work is featured in public locations and private homes all over the globe.
See Judy Boyt's 'Golden Miller' and Phillip Blacker's 'Best Mate' at Cheltenham Festival.

TALOS & THE REPAIR SHOP
Talos Art Foundry was recently featured in The Repair Shop: On the Road.
Our talented chasers, John Bull and Paul Stocks, undertook the significant task of restoring two vandalised WWI memorial plaques. This project not only required intricate craftsmanship but also honoured the memories of brave individuals who served during the First World War.
The restored plaques were presented to the Kent church community, creating a heartfelt moment for family members of the fallen. A special thank you to presenter Will Kirk and the production team for including us in this important project!
