WELCOME
Sumptuous Exhibition
25TH APRIL - 8TH JUNE 2026
Walking While Thinking by David Hayward
In celebration of the first anniversary at Church Street, KMA Gallery unveils Sumptuous, featuring the work of encaustic painter David Hayward and hyper-realist food sculptor Anna Barlow. Refocusing their work through this lens, the result is a bold exhibition that celebrates the rich tapestry of a vivid, contemporary experience.
Often recalling heavily laden banquets of opulent food, the term sumptuous implies an elaborate abundance of plenty. While this focuses on exquisite material excess, here a shimmering horizon line or a 99p soft serve are celebrated as wonders to behold. For it is in life’s simple pleasures, easily taken for granted, where true luxury lies.
Curated by Kellie Miller, Sumptuous invites you to take the opportunity to slow down and appreciate what is right in front of you; to find prosperity in our everyday experiences.
Introducing
Astrig akseralian
On Paw and Foot, by Astrig Akseralian
We are thrilled to welcome British painter Astrig Akseralian to KMA with a beautiful launching collection for the Summer.
Rooted in narrative, Astrig’s paintings capture the fleeting, intimate domestic moments of connection between humans and the animals who share their life. Her paintings are alive with movement, cleverly composed to give the viewer a feeling of time passing by.
New Collection
BARRY STEDMAN
Thrown Altered Vessel with Red, Yellow, Orange & Blue I
by Barry Stedman
April brings Spring into the foreground and in the gallery we are alive with a celebration of soft tones, splashed across Barry Stedman’s new collection of organic thrown and altered vessels.
We are so excited to share Barry’s latest dynamic body of work with his collectors and ceramic enthusiasts alike. A lively and playful use of colour and hand-built forms entice viewers to touch and explore.
We’ve no doubt that these beauties will find new homes quickly. If you’d like to see the whole collection and buy, please request a catalogue today for further information and prices.
