Private & Public Gallery

Opening on Friday 25th September for a preview evening and drinks reception from 5-7pm.

Quiet Reflections by Charlie Haydn Taylor showcases a mixture of recent paintings and limited edition prints which explore themes of contemplation and momentary isolation.

Moving between the fictional and autobiographical, his work is characterised by the deliberate absence of the human figure. This allows the viewer to enter each scene as a first-person participant, occupying a remembered space rather than observing it from a distance.

This show opens at the same time as Carmen Belean's solo exhibition - the first time Private & Public Gallery has opened two exhibitions on the same day - so we hope you will join us to enjoy the works of two very different but complimentary contemporary painters.

The exhibition will run until Saturday 10th October and our opening times are 12-6 weekdays and 11-2pm Saturdays.

Earlier in the week with the careful assistance of we made a short film with the artist and photographer .delvallee ahead of installing her debut solo exhibition at

This is a cut down 1 minute edit from the longer version of the film which is available to view by visiting privateandpublic.com

In it the artist reflects upon the origins of photography in this the bicentennial year since its invention in 1826 and also talks about the historical influences on her work and the techniques she deploys to produce such beautiful and fascinating imagery.

The exhibition opens on Friday 15th May from 5-8pm for a preview evening and drinks reception and everyone is welcome.

Did you know that 2026 is photography's 200th birthday?

In 1826 the French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first permanent photograph using a process known as Heliography with his image 'View from a Window at Le Gras' and this important milestone highlights how profoundly photography has shaped modern life, artistically, scientifically, culturally, politically and socially.

To celebrate this auspicious date l am delighted to present 17 new pieces by the outstanding contemporary French artist and photographer Isabelle Delvallée whose work uses traditional techniques through the use of Gum Bichromate printing - a very early process inherited from Pictorialism.

The exhibition is staged across 2 contrasting gallery spaces set into light and darkness using ultraviolet rays to create a stunning visual impression.

The exhibition also showcases works by the 20th century French surrealist photographer Claude Cahun and in stark contrast to previous exhibitions our focus is not on how she became a standard bearer for the LGBTQ+ community but how the technical printing processes she deployed place Cahun as a master of transformation.

Visually rich, dramatically presented and historically relevant this museum quality exhibition is a must see for anybody with an interest in the parallel and modern overlapping histories of art and photography.

Thanks to Jersey Heritage for the loan of the Claude Cahun prints and I sincerely hope you will save the date and join us for what promises to be a truly groundbreaking exhibition.
