Exploring Raul's journey from his home town of Guantanamo to his current home in a Welsh chapel in Pembrokeshire.  Works include oils, acrylics, watercolours, printed work and sculptures.  A mix of bright colours and monochrome works - see if you can guess which one's are influenced by which country and its culture.

October has rushed towards us and Retrato Cubano will open on 14th October at 6.30pm - you are welcome to come along - here is your virtual invitation.     For a preview contact  Brock Street Gallery for a catalogue.

August sees new and exciting work streaming forth in anticipation of forthcoming exhibition to be held at Bath's newest gallery Brock Street Gallery starting on 14th October 2008.  Exhibition is titled Retrato Cubano and gives glimpses of life in Cuba now and historically.  Come along and see it.    

It is June and finally the building works are nearly over - we have actually managed to partially re-open and given two more weeks will be completely there.   The energy seems to be very open too for paintings are flying out and our new venture 'Lavender Cafe' is attracting lots of people who like delicious food and a relaxing space to be.    We source as much of our produce from local suppliers and growers as we can  believing in supporting the local economy as well as restraining food miles! 

Panini, chocolate cake and a cappuccino please!!!

Open from 11am daily 

After Raul's return from an amazing trip to Peru he has taken the experience and turned it into an energetic and colorful burst of painting of small works.   These are centred around sand, sea, sun and sky and are being exhibited as a group they are oil on canvas and are in a size range from 4"x4" to 12" x 12".   See the  gallery in the Works section entitled "Small Works Exhibition" for a preview.

Raul and Heather are travelling extensively during 2006/2007 During the next year Heather and Raul will be travelling to Provence, Peru, Ladakh, Rajistan, Pushkar Mela, Goa, Morocco, France, Venice Carnival, Italy, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.  Any galleries or individuals interested in commissioning work or exhibitions in those countries or as a result of this travelling please email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The gallery will be open during these trips.

Limited Edition Prints are now available of most of the images in the 'Works' section of the webpage.  Please email the Gallery for further information and prices on/for individual pieces.

A double  library DVD of Raul's work and information about how he creates with images and music will be available from January 2007 - orders for this can be taken in advance £18.99 including postage.

Due to the number of tutorials Raul has been giving for people using his work for degree, GCSE and other studies (sometimes three a week) we have  decided to make a charge of £25.00 for sessions in future as these last at least two hours and Raul cannot deal with other visitors to the gallery during that time.
