British landscape painter David Atkins now showing at The Rutland Gallery

Still life painting once considered a quiet corner of art history is now at the centre of a powerful resurgence. No longer confined to traditional collectors or heritage homes, still lifes are becoming a defining visual language in contemporary interiors, boutique spaces, and curated personal collections.

In the Rutland town of Uppingham, where history meets contemporary creativity, The Rutland Gallery has stood as a vibrant space to visit for art lovers near and far. Known for its eclectic mix of contemporary artwork — the gallery now enters a bold new chapter in digital engagement. Today, art browsing just got a whole lot more intuitive, and personalised with the launch of Fiona — The Rutland Gallery’s AI online gallery assistant.

Amander Meade, well known local arts writer and commentator, recently visited The Rutland Gallery to explore its latest exhibition and meet with the team behind its growing reputation. Impressed by the quality of work and the gallery’s commitment to showcasing stunning artwork, Amander produced a two page feature on the gallery.

An exhibition of still life paintings by renowned British artist Jane Hooper that explore everyday domestic life. Her paintings featuring jugs, vases, and flowers that draw inspiration from her immediate surroundings. Working with a muted palette, Jane Hooper creates tonal subtlety that enhances the calm purity of her compositions.
