“We are incredibly excited to be rescheduling exhibitions put on hold during 2020, making 2021 really a year to look forward to,” Sasha Gibb said.
Here are some of the highlights from CCA’s 2021 calendar…
Sir Peter Blake: Paintings, prints and pop
The gallery will be exhibiting a large collection of Blake’s work, including early prints, album covers and paintings. There will also be a Q&A with the gallery’s long time friend, collaborator, Gillian Duke, the Managing Director of Worton Hall Studios.
Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham, Sir Terry Frost and Sandra Blow
This joint exhibition will present paintings and prints from three artists from the St. Ives School. CCA Galleries has been working with the Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham Trust in Edinburgh to bring together the first selling retrospective of these highly regarded artists.
The exhibition will include paintings, prints and collage, as well as talks and insight into their lives by Rob Airy, Wilhelmina Barnes-Graham Trust and Gillian Duke, CCA who worked with Frost and Blow throughout their career.

Paul Huxley – Exhibition of prints and paintings
Acknowledged globally for his large scale bold and dynamic works, Paul Huxley explores implied perspectives, combining stretched and distorted ellipsis, shapes with flat blocks of colour.
The exhibition will showcase both prints and paintings and will include ‘The Accidental Printmaker’, a candid discussion by Paul Huxley RA. He will discuss his long career as an artist, exhibiting alongside artists such as Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney, John Hoyland and Bridget Riley, as well as his role in educating the next generation of YBA’s including Tracey Emin and Chris Ofili.

2020: a year in vision

A book on the exhibition is also available for sale, with all proceeds going to Jersey Hospice.
