For this exhibition environmental artist Stanislav Shmelev has brought together three series of his work: Nature Reserves of the World, Sustainable Cities and Hommage à.

The Nature Reserve series includes a photographic print of Third View of Mountain X, taken in the Vanoise National Park in the French Alps. Here conifers frame the stark majesty of the mountain beyond. The series also includes Midnight Tatras, where his photograph captures the scale of this magnificent national park on the Slovakian-Polish border.

The Sustainable Cities series includes Shmelev’s photograph of Notre Dame de Paris, taken from across the Seine at dusk, when the fading daylight draws the eye to the illuminations that up-light the flying buttresses, providing them with an ethereal quality against a quietly diminishing background.

This photograph is an interesting contrast to the Notre Dame (above) in the Hommage à series. This positively celebrates the vibrant hues of earth and sky and bright light refracted off the cathedral’s stone.

The Hommage à series are all paintings, thus named as they pay homage to 19th-century artists, notably Pissarro, Signac, Monet and Van Gogh. All are executed in oil on canvas worked with a palette knife, enabling Shmelev to build up substantial bodies of colour, as in St Michael’s Mount, where he captures high tide and the tenacity of the fortified buildings that make up the mount, by using the blues of sea and sky to play around the island form, emphasising its isolation from the Cornish mainland.

The show celebrates the launch of Shmelev’s book on environmental thinking, Sustainability Analysis. It continues until January 27, daily from 10am to 4pm.
