PRESS RELEASE
World’s greatest landscape photographer launches gallery in Tunbridge Wells
TROWBRIDGE GALLERY LAUNCHES FIRST FRANCHISED SHOWROOM
TUNBRIDGE WELLS, KENT, UK – At 5pm on November 29th, globally renowned Charlie Waite landscape photographer – recently named as the ‘world’s greatest living landscape photographer of his generation’ by Hewlett Packard – will be signing photographs to celebrate the official launch of Trowbridge Gallery in Ely Court at the Royal Victoria Place Shopping Centre. At the launch, Waite will be talking about his work and answering questions from visitors. The Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, councillor Barbara Cobbold, will also be attending the event.
Charlie Waite, who is today revered as a leading figure in the global renaissance of landscape photography, with past exhibitions held in London, Tokyo, New York and Melbourne, says: “I’m delighted to be at the launch of the new gallery and have the opportunity to talk to the people of Kent about my images. A landscape image cuts across all political and national boundaries, and transcends the constraints of language and culture, which is why I enjoy evangelsing on the subject so much.”
Trowbridge Gallery, which opened its first outlet on Kings Road London in 1992, and which has had a longstanding affinity with Waite, chose Tunbridge Wells as its second location because of the inherent natural beauty of the area, along with its deep historical and cultural heritage.
Says Trowbridge’s Managing Director, Rob Cork: “Tunbridge Wells really is the perfect location for our second gallery; it’s close to our head office in East Sussex, and the surrounding areas also proffer wonderful, quintessentially English landscapes that echo throughout much of the work we exhibit and sell – including Charlie Waite's landscape photography. Also, because Ely Court is populated with a number of high quality boutique-style outlets, our new gallery is situated in an ideal location.”
Visitors to the gallery on the evening of the launch will receive a warm welcomed, and be served with light refreshments. As well as meeting and speaking with Charlie Waite and Mayor Barbara Cobbold, visitors will also be able to view and purchase the very finest examples of reproduction fine art prints, antique prints, black and white photography, textiles and original works of art all in exquisite handmade frames.
