Selected!...for the Winter Group Show

Linden Hall Studio, Deal

5 December 2026 - 30 January 2027

“The Winter Group Show captures the spirit of Linden Hall Studio at its most expansive: individual artistic voices brought together in a celebration of contemporary art.”

The Winter Group Show is the centrepiece of Linden Hall Studio’s annual programme and our largest and most ambitious exhibition of the year.

Bringing together painting, sculpture, print, photography and mixed media, the exhibition presents an expansive celebration of contemporary visual art. Works by artists from the Linden Hall Studio Collection and invited contributors are shown alongside a major selection drawn from our increasingly wide-reaching annual open call.

Established names sit beside emerging talent, with each artist contributing an individual voice to a rich and varied exhibition. Together, the works create a lively conversation across the gallery, offering moments of joy, humour, reflection and discovery.

Growing in scale and reputation each year, the Winter Group Show has become a much-anticipated occasion for artists, collectors and visitors alike, embodying the gallery’s commitment to presenting ambitious, accessible and genuinely diverse contemporary art.

Pioneer Succession

A new exhibition on Vortic

9 March - 9 June 2026

Pioneer Succession takes its title from a foundational concept in ecology: the process by which pioneer organisms — the first to colonise bare, disturbed, or apparently lifeless ground — transform their environment sufficiently to allow more complex communities to follow. Among the most remarkable of these pioneers are lichens, composite organisms formed from the symbiotic union of fungi and algae, capable of surviving prolonged desiccation, of metabolising rock into soil, and of persisting in conditions that defeat almost every other living thing. For Deborah Nagan, lichens are not merely subject matter but a governing metaphor — for resilience, for interdependence, and for the slow, patient work of repair. This exhibition brings together a series of abstract paintings in acrylic that trace a journey from ecological systems to emotional states, with lichen and rose as both material presence and conceptual thread.
