Wills Lane Gallery

Just up the hill from the lifeboat station, the Wills Lane Gallery in St Ives exhibits artists and designers of national and international significance alongside new talent. Gallery director Petronilla Silver is a former director of the Contemporary Art Society and a respected expert on collecting. She has advised museums and major corporations on their acquisition policy, and now advises private individuals.

The gallery's exhibition policy is to show a mix of work - paintings, drawings, photographs, original prints, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, wood and metalwork - with occasional solo exhibitions. In this panorama, which shows the first floor gallery space, you can see the work of Tavs Jørgensen. Jørgensen is a member of Autonomatic, a research group based at University College Falmouth that explores the use of digital design and manufacturing technologies in the creative process of making 3D objects.

Other artists whose work appears in the gallery include Maggi Hambling, Ana Maria Pacheco, Michael Porter, Irene Lees, Sheila Oliner, Susan Derges, Drummond Masterton, Emmanuel Cooper, Janice Tchalenko, Marlene McKibbin and Ismini Samanidou. Prices start from £15.
