We are delighted to present a special exhibition of selected works from The Art of Imagination, a captivating new collection by Sussex-based artist Vincent Matthews, now gracing the elegant Dining Room at Bannatyne Hotel. Strongly influenced by surrealism, these paintings offer a glimpse into Vincent’s richly imaginative world, where wit, curiosity, and visual storytelling intertwine to transform the everyday into something extraordinary.

Drawing on his distinguished career as an Interior Architect, Vincent brings a masterful command of colour, form, and design to each canvas. These works celebrate the intersection of his architectural sensibilities and artistic expression, creating an engaging dialogue between space, structure, and emotion—perfectly suited to the ambience of this unique setting.

We invite you to explore this thoughtfully curated selection during your visit. Each piece offers its own narrative, inviting reflection, conversation, and a moment of escape. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to experience Vincent Matthews’ creative spirit up close—and perhaps even discover a piece that resonates with your own imagination.
