Rooted – Upcoming Exhibition at Circle Gallery
We are delighted to announce our next exhibition, Rooted, which will run from Saturday 4th October to Saturday 18th October at Circle Gallery.
The exhibition will open with a special drinks preview on Friday 3rd October from 5–7pm, giving guests the first opportunity to view this exciting new collection of work.
Bringing together the work of both accomplished and emerging artists. Rooted explores the connection between art and the natural world. Featuring a much anticipated new collection of work by Amanda Padfield. Alongside artists Simon Bailey, Nigel Smith, Leila Barton, Yharnna, Jo Starkey, Joe Galindo, and Sharon Goodenough – Rooted explores the many ways art can connect us to place, nature, and ourselves.
The exhibition title reflects themes that are central to each artist’s practice: grounding, memory, and a search for belonging in an ever-changing world. Through diverse mediums and approaches, the artists present work that is rich in narrative and layered with personal and collective meaning.
We wanted to create an exhibition that feels timely and resonant. Rooted is about finding stability and inspiration in the world around us – whether that’s through the natural landscape, personal history, or community. Each of the artists brings their own interpretation of what it means to be ‘rooted,’ and together, their work creates a fascinating dialogue
From the textured surfaces of contemporary painting to the delicate use of colour and form, the works on display highlight the breadth of creativity and innovation within the group. Visitors can expect a compelling mix of perspectives – from bold and expressive compositions to quiet, contemplative pieces that invite closer reflection.
The preview evening on Friday 3rd October promises to be a lively and welcoming occasion, with an opportunity to meet enjoy refreshments while viewing the collection in person.
Rooted will be on view at Circle Gallery from 4th – 18th October 2025. Entry is free, and all works will be available to purchase.
