nao matsunaga new art centre 2651835

The New Art Centre at Roche Court Sculpture Park in Wiltshire is presenting “Nao Matsunaga: A Year’s Thought,” a solo exhibition of the Japanese artist’s multidisciplinary work. The show features glazed porcelain sculptures and recent works made from timber sourced from the park itself, continuing a dialogue with the artist that began with his 2017 exhibition “Blue & White” at the same gallery. Matsunaga, who studied at the University of Brighton and the Royal College of Art, is known for his contemplative practice exploring form, material, and finish.

The article explores the trend of commercial art galleries expanding into rural locations, using Hauser & Wirth Somerset in Bruton, the New Art Centre at Roche Court, Messums West in Tisbury, and Thirsk Hall in North Yorkshire as key examples. These galleries have transformed former farms, historic barns, and country estates into exhibition spaces that combine contemporary art with pastoral settings, attracting significant visitor numbers and fostering local engagement.
