Back to the Cave

The Full Spectrum

23rd May - 31st August 2025

Gallery Pangolin and Clearwell Caves will once again be taking sculpture underground this Spring.

The first ‘Back to the Cave’ sculpture exhibition referenced the origins of art and the role of caves as a primal shelter for humans and animals alike. Colour, the key focus for this second venture, is inspired by the artists’ pigments of yellow, brown, red and purple ochres mined since the neolithic period and still extracted today by John Wright free miner at Clearwell.

Artists include:

Monira Al Qadiri, Olivia Bax, Bruce Beasley, Hamish Black, Julie Brook, Jon Buck, Rachel Carter, Daniel Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick RA, Ann Christopher RA, Geoffrey Clarke RA, Michael Cooper, Terence Coventry, Ian Dawson, Rayvenn Shaleigha D’Clark, Paul de Monchaux, Steve Dilworth, Abigail Fallis, Sally Fawkes, Sue Freeborough, Antony Gormley OBE RA, Nigel Hall RA, Maggi Hambling CBE, Nicola Hicks MBE, Damien Hirst, John Hoskin, Steve Hurst, Richard Jackson, Jonathan Kingdon, Bryan Kneale MBE RA, Hannah Lim, Jeff Lowe, Sarah Lucas, Susie MacMurray, Anita Mandl, Briony Marshall, Charlotte Mayer, Polly Morgan, Daniel Nadler, Breon O’Casey, Eilis O’Connell RHA, Isaac Okwir, Peter Oloya, Angela Palmer, Pangolin Designs, Merete Rasmussen, Colin Reid, Lorraine Robbins, Conrad Shawcross RA, STIK, Tavares Strachan, Almuth Tebbenhoff, Lisa Traxler, William Tucker RA, Gavin Turk, Keith Tyson, Patricia Volk, Moritz Waldemeyer, Jason Wason and Liz West.
