For 2025, The Drang Gallery hopes to present something new, unique and focused on the natural world and the fragility of our planet. Artworks that comment and open conversation to contemporary issues close to our hearts and are fitting for the decadent setting and glorious atmosphere.
Representing James Lewin as a rapidly emerging and award winning contemporary photographic wildlife artist; black and white photography shot entirely naturally, up close and personal, in the bush, first hand with as little technology as possible. The images are breathtaking and compelling moments that are unlikely to repeat or withstand the tides of time. Lewin’s work has raised substantial support for wildlife, with 20% of all sales directly going to various charities and projects across Africa.
Tess Chodan creates sublime and poetic works using antique insect specimens from historical collections: butterflies, moths, beetles and bees. Her work celebrates the tradition of collecting, reflects on memory and preservation, fragility and time, and is inspired by the fleeting lives of the natural world.
The Charles Hollywood pseudonym was born as a psychological fusion of the regal history of England, and the glitz and glam of America. This emerging artist duo are based in the North East of England. Hailing from a background in psychology the brothers behind Charles Hollywood have combined their minds to create artwork that is both stimulating and engaging. The artists put heavy emphasis onto the title of the works and the messages they convey, with each canvas being entirely worked by hand through a combination of techniques. This latest collection is an evolutional graduation of the early artwork covers that founded the brothers’ artistic career.
