STOW-on-the-Wold’s new contemporary gallery, Clarendon Fine Art, will celebrate its opening with an appearance by world-renowned figurative artist, Fabian Perez, on Wednesday, June 29.

The boutique gallery opened at Finials House, The Square, Stow-on-the-Wold in Spring 2016.

Like Clarendon's flagship gallery in Mayfair, it specialises in contemporary paintings and sculpture from some of the world's most talented emerging artists and from many important and influential names in recent history.

Figurative painter Fabian Perez's international status has been confirmed many times, most recently when he was awarded the prestigious trophy for being Artist of the Year 2014 by the Academy of Artists, Italy.

He was named as official artist to the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and has been acknowledged in his homeland of Argentina with a rare government funded public exhibition for the nation.

He is one of the world's most collected artists, with fans and celebrity admirers across the world.

Gallery manager Rachel Edmonds said: “Fabian will be unveiling his evocative new paintings and chatting to guests, which will be a wonderful way to introduce the Clarendon experience to local art lovers and collectors.”

Rachel, along with art consultant Alexander Lord, will also be on hand to greet guests and introduce them to the exciting array of artists in the Clarendon Fine Art portfolio.
