The Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery has always sought to upset conventions and break down barriers: between Western and non-Western art, between the contemporary and the timeless, and between fine art and craft.
Since its inception in 1988, the gallery has built an international reputation for its groundbreaking commitment to the ‘applied arts’, giving debut exhibitions to jewellers, ceramicists, dress designers and textile makers. Rebecca Hossack was the first gallerist in the UK to exhibit the woven-pandanus artefacts of aboriginal Australia, to show the embroidered textiles of the African Bushmen and the mud-drawings of the Bihari women of India.
During London Craft Week, the gallery is showcasing the range and diversity of cultural invention with a suite of decorated bark-cloths from the remote Omie people of PNG, an important historical collection of Guatemalan ‘hondas’ (ingeniously carved slingshots) and a display of Balinese textiles and jewellery by the acclaimed American-born artist-designer Lou Zeldis (1944–2012).
