SUMMARY:Permanent Exhibition: Julia Margaret Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Julia Margaret Cameron (1815 – 1879) was one of the most important early photographers and is now recognised the world over as a pioneer of photography as art. \nA woman ahead of her time\, she was ambitious and freethinking when most Victorian women were passive and demure. She took on the challenges of handling large cameras and dangerous chemicals at a time when photography was known as ‘The Black Art’. \nIgnoring conventions\, she experimented with composition and focus. Today she is credited with creating the first photographic close-up portraits and influencing the subsequent Pictorialism movement with her use of diffused focus. \nHer portraits of ‘famous men and fair women’\, reflect her time within the Freshwater Circle\, the birth of celebrity and her ambitions to be recognised as significant artist of her time. \nThe majority of her photographic work was created here at Dimbola. Her work is found in major archives the world over including our own growing Permanent Collection.

SUMMARY:Mini Iconic Bowie – Terry O’Neill
DESCRIPTION:Dimbola Museum & Galleries are honoured that Iconic Images have kindly agreed to loan us photographs of David Bowie taken by the late Terry O’Neil left over from our Iconic Bowie exhibition is 2019. \nOver a 20-year period\, O’Neill captured Bowie’s shapeshifting artistry better than just about anybody else. \nO’Neill’s photographs have left such a lasting impression because he was able to demystify some of the 20th century’s biggest icons. \nBy the time O’Neill started shooting Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust tour in 1973\, he was much a respected name in photography. \nCurrently exclusive to Dimbola in the UK\, the limited editions images are available to purchase. For more information please email admin@dimbola.co.uk

SUMMARY:CJ Nox: The Beauty Of...
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to currently have a display of beautiful prints by CJ Nox Photography in our shop. All for sale\, starting from £55. Come and take a look! \n\n“CJ Nox is a visual storyteller rooted in the natural rhythms and quiet beauty of the Isle of Wight. A lifelong creative with a background rich in varied experiences\, CJ returned to the Island in search of a slower\, more intentional way of seeing—and of living. Accompanied by his loyal dog Beans\, he roams coastlines\, forests\, historic towns\, and windswept cliffs\, capturing fleeting moments that many pass by unnoticed.\n\n\nHis exhibition\, The Beauty Of…\, reflects his core philosophy: that beauty is not a fixed destination\, but something shifting\, personal\, and ever-present in our daily surroundings. Whether through the geometry of local architecture\, the softness of evening light across the Solent\, or the wild stillness of a forgotten woodland path\, CJ’s work invites us to pause\, reframe\, and look again.\n\n\nAs a photographer and video creator\, CJ blends artistic observation with a deep sense of place. His vlogs explore not just locations\, but the stories\, atmospheres\, and emotions behind each frame. He encourages viewers and visitors alike to rediscover the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary—and to embrace the power of quiet moments.\n\n\nThrough both lens and life\, CJ Nox offers a gentle reminder: the world is always waiting to be seen anew.”\n\n\ncjnoxphotography.com

SUMMARY:Annabel Moeller - Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:During the latter part of 2024 Annabel joined Dr Bob Seely on several trips to Ukraine to take photographs for his book describing in detail the now 20 year campaign waged by Putin to bring Ukraine back under Russian control. \nTogether they met and interviewed the brave young men and women taking part in the country’s relentless war effort to prevent this from happening. \nThough many were military personnel before the war\, it was both fascinating and humbling to discover the varied professions that so many others had given up in order to defend the sovereignty of their country. Ordinary people living ordinary lives\, now joined together to protect their very way of life. \nAmongst those they met chefs\, city councillors\, film producers\, website designers\, teachers\, lawyers\, photographers\, musicians\, retired grandparents and so many more. \nA small selection of this striking photographers on our display in our back corridor\, behind our giftshop and is free to browse. \nWe plan to showcase a larger selection later in the year.

SUMMARY:Eavesdropping on the Otherworld - Syd Wytch
DESCRIPTION:14th March – 7th June \nEavesdropping on the Other World will be on display in the Studio Gallery and features new work by local photographer and artist Syd Buron. \n“I am honoured to once again be exhibiting in the room\, which was once Julia Margaret Cameron’s Studio\,” \nThe exhibition includes paintings\, most produced during his residency at Ventnor Botanic Garden — alongside works by other visionary artists that have inspired him. His focus is on psychedelic depictions of folklore\, creating a visual companion to today’s thriving “acid folk” contemporary music scene. \nReturning to the darkroom\, Buron has also produced photographic works on the backs of theatre light lenses. Mounted in circular wooden frames and illuminated from behind\, they appear like glowing portholes into another world. \nDimbola is delighted to welcome Syd back. He first exhibited at the gallery in 2014 in the tearoom and more recently in 2023 in the studio gallery. This latest exhibition showcases an exciting new body of work and the creative influences that shape it. \nThe work is for sale please enquire at the front desk\nwytch.co.uk

SUMMARY:Dreams - Yana Barabash
DESCRIPTION:14th March – 7th June \nThree and a half years ago\, Yana and her mother fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, leaving their home in Odesa and settled in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. \nOriginally from Odesa\, Yana received her formal training at the Kostandi Art School and the Grekov Odesa State Art College. Painting has been part of her life since childhood\, and oil remains her primary medium for its depth\, flexibility and capacity for refined detail. \nOver the years she has held numerous exhibitions in museums and galleries in Ukraine\, Spain\, London and on the Island. In 2025 she was a winner in the prestigious ‘UK Women in Art’ show at Roundhouse\, London in 2025. \nThis exhibition holds special significance for Yana. During her first visit to Dimbola\, encountering the photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron felt like a quiet dialogue across time. The mystical atmosphere and emotional depth of Cameron’s work resonate with Yana’s own search for inner presence and atmosphere. The light of Freshwater\, the sea and the landscape of the Isle of Wight form an environment that feels both intimate and powerful. \nThe exhibition brings together several groups of Yana’s works created in England. Some respond directly to the Island and its surroundings. Others continue her long-standing practice of portraiture and figurative scenes drawn from personal life. The central body of work explores minerals\, trees and flowers. \nIn recent years Yana has turned toward elemental forms — stone\, roots\, petals — as a way of seeking stability and harmony. Minerals inspire her through their structure and depth; old trees become symbols of endurance and grounding; flowers\, often intertwined with female figures\, suggest delicacy\, vulnerability and inner strength.Through these works\, she searches for balance\, stillness and a sense of rootedness in an unsettled world. \nThe work is for sale\, please enquire at the front desk. \nyanabarabash.com
