Sitting atop the Square Gallery, Berkeley Square Hotel offers visitors a stunning and unique visual experience, immersing them in art for the duration of their stay. After entering the hotel, a glass door reveals the Square Gallery beyond. This ground floor room and basement below are permanent exhibition spaces that have played host to works by over fifty artists since 2007.
A large installation by the London video art gallery, Open is showcased in the lounge and bar which is revolutionizing moving imagery – the video painting.

The opening of each exhibition is marked by an evening private view, which offers art lovers across Bristol the chance to come and enjoy the Square experience and meet the artists whose work makes the space so special.

In 2006 he was elected to the Royal British Society of Sculptors for his carved wood and cast bronze pieces.

Kathy comes from Cork in the south of Ireland and moved to England 25 years ago.
“I like to capture a sense of light and the movement of nature in my paintings. By instinct rather than design I seem to have developed two main themes.
The “Irish” theme is inspired by the wild Atlantic coastline of West Cork, Kerry and Co. Clare and the ever changing light over the barren rocky landscape of the Burren.
Because of the systematic deforestation in Ireland the “English” theme if focussed on woodland areas
“I love sketching all aspects of trees from close up studies of the patterns in the bark of a trunk to the panoramic glory of autumn colours at Westonbirt Arboretum.”
Mary is a printmaker based in Bristol and currently a member of Spike Print Studio.
Many of her screen prints feature mathematical graphs or patterns. By conforming to the rigorous logic and rules, the end result, for the mathematician, will often be elegant, concise and beautiful, but to achieve that, she/he must conform to the conventions of their subject, using the corset as a metaphor for mental discipline. She was short listed for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in recognition of her work.
