About this event

We are honoured to present The Fugitives, a solo exhibition celebrating the acclaimed British artist Jane Harris (1956–2022).

Titled The Fugitives, the exhibition explores Harris’s engagement with transience—of perception, time, and form. This body of work exemplifies her masterful sense of rhythm and visual showmanship. Set against the rural backdrop of Somerset, the exhibition expands on her distinctive visual language, featuring paintings that seem to flicker and shift as the viewer moves around them. These works evoke a sense of fugitivity—not only in subject matter, but in the very act of seeing.

📅 Private View: 2–4pm, 5 July 2025📍 Exhibition Dates: 5 July – 2 August 2025📍 By Appointment: Throughout August📍 Venue: CLOSE Gallery, Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset TA3 6AE

This exhibition is made possible by the Estate of Jane Harris and marks the first time her work will be shown and offered for sale under the stewardship of Freeny Yianni (founder of CLOSE Gallery) and Prue O’Day, on behalf of her husband Jiri Kratochvil and their son George Kratochvil.

We look forward to welcoming you to this remarkable exhibition.
