Stuart Redler

High Point Spring Market in North Carolina draws another week closer, time really does fly when you are having fun (or are super busy).

The highlight of last week’s High Point prep, for me, was finally seeing Stuart Redlers ‘Skiff’ Triptych hanging in the window of our Kings Road Gallery in London. It looks incredible and cannot fail to rival the sales of Stuart’s Turtle Triptych, which has been a best seller for TROWBRIDGE Gallery since the first day it went in to the gallery window. 

The piece has a really interesting story too, which adds to my love for the piece. When Stuart’s father passed away he spent lots of time going through his father’s belongings and organising his estate, and it was during this time he found this incredible boat that had been left in a shed for 50 plus years and was inspired to photograph it. 

I am really interested to see how this piece is received at the show, the team and I already think it’s a winner. 

Redler’s work is very popular at TROWBRIDGE, his photographs of architecture, people and animals feature heavily in our new Spring 2013 catalogue. 

A few examples of his work below: 

He has contributed greatly to our collection of new pieces for the home furnishings Market in April. 

Stuart’s great strength is capturing thought-provoking architectural shapes, sometimes in the most ordinary and mundane places. This is shown perfectly in his new triptych, entitled “Wheel”, a stunningly simple portrait of a large cart-wheel. 

His photograph of a peacock captures the extravagant eye-spotted tail of the male, beautiful detail even in sepia. As a triptych it is an extremely powerful image. 

Another thought-provoking triptych is entitled “Ummm”. Take a look for yourself as this is exactly the thought that comes to mind when looking at this piece. 

We have also taken his more established pieces and created something a little bit different with them. The Blue Turtle has been given new life in a lavender shade and we also see him now on a blue background in white, the contrast is brilliant. 

I wonder what else the team are going show me that will inspire me to write, we have such a packed week, it’s anyone’s guess!
