Presents:  States of Resolution  at PAD London 2026  13 - 18 October, Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London

Following the opening of its new permanent Mayfair gallery, Charles Burnand Gallery presents States of Resolution at PAD London 2026, a tightly curated presentation of monumental new works by leading international artists working across Art Furniture, Illuminated Sculpture, collectable design and sculpture.  Located just moments from Berkeley Square, PAD London forms the next chapter in Charles Burnand Gallery’s Autumn 2026 programme, extending the curatorial dialogue established by Under Wraps, the inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new Mayfair home. Together, the two presentations invite visitors to move between fair and gallery, experiencing a programme that explores not only how exceptional works are first encountered, but how they come to be lived with.  For PAD London, Charles Burnand Gallery presents major new works by Niamh Barry, Peter Lane, David Clarke, Myungtaek Jung, Kyeok Kim, Yanxiong Lin, Ian Milnes, and Jan Waterston. Monumental ceramics, cast bronze, hand-carved timber, illuminated sculpture, and sculptural furniture are brought together within a presentation that reflects the instinctive restraint of the world’s finest collections. Rather than presenting a conventional room setting, the curation offers carefully composed fragments of an interior in which exceptional works are afforded the space, presence, and architectural context they command.  The title, States of Resolution, reflects defining moments within each artist’s practice. Rather than celebrating novelty for its own sake, the presentation brings together works that demonstrate increasing clarity of intention, material understanding, and formal confidence. Some introduce entirely new typologies. Others revisit long-established ideas with greater ambition, scale, and refinement. Together, they represent practices that continue to evolve through sustained enquiry rather than constant reinvention.

“Connoisseurship is the judgement to recognise when exceptional works require nothing more than the space, presence, and time they command.  States of Resolution is built upon that belief. Every decision, from the selection of artists to the way each work occupies the space, reflects a confidence that extraordinary works do not need to compete for attention. They simply need the conditions in which they can be experienced fully.  The role of both the gallery and the collector is not to impose upon the work, but to recognise its significance and allow it to reveal itself over time.”    - Simon Stewart, Founder, Charles Burnand Gallery

States of Resolution builds directly upon Under Wraps. While the inaugural exhibition at Charles Burnand Gallery’s new Mayfair gallery explores the first public encounter between artist, artwork, and audience, the PAD presentation considers the environment in which exceptional works continue that journey. Together, the two presentations offer a progression from first discovery to quiet contemplation, reinforcing Charles Burnand Gallery’s belief that the most enduring relationships with works of art are formed not in an instant, but over time.  States of Resolution will be presented at PAD London, Berkeley Square, during PAD London 2026.  Visitors are encouraged to continue the journey at Charles Burnand Gallery’s new Mayfair gallery at 20 Bruton Place, London W1J 6LY where Under Wraps, the inaugural exhibition in the space, will be on view throughout the fair.  #charlesburnandgallery#fineartmagazineblog.blogspot.com #sunstormfineartmagazine.com#artfunlondon#artfunabstract#artfuneasy

Charles Burnand Gallery Unveils New Mayfair Home with Inaugural Exhibition Under Wraps!

 

Charles Burnand Gallery Unveils New Mayfair Home with Inaugural Exhibition Under Wraps 12 September 2026 – 9 January 2027, 20 Bruton Place, London W1J 6LY L: NIAMH BARRY, In The Eyes Of. R: STUDIO FURTHERMORE, Narvi Console. Every gallery opens its doors. Few make the opening itself part of the exhibition.   This September, Charles Burnand Gallery will open its long-awaited permanent home at 20 Bruton Place, Mayfair. Opening during London Design Festival, Under Wraps transforms the act of unveiling into part of the exhibition itself, with significant new works revealed through a choreographed sequence of automated unveilings.   The opening marks a defining moment in a period of sustained international growth for the gallery, whose exhibition and fair programme has expanded significantly across the United States, the Middle East, and Asia. The move sees Charles Burnand Gallery relocate from its Fitzrovia space, home to the gallery since 2021, into the heart of London’s historic gallery district. The Mayfair opening is the first of two major milestones in the gallery's expansion, with a permanent, large-scale gallery in the Cotswolds set to follow in 2027.   Rather than presenting works as finished objects awaiting admiration, Under Wraps turns the moment of revelation into a curatorial act in its own right. Selected pieces remain veiled beneath semi-translucent architectural sheeting, their forms only partially discernible, before being revealed through a carefully choreographed sequence of automated unveilings. Concealment becomes an active curatorial device, transforming anticipation into an integral part of the exhibition experience and inviting visitors to consider not only what is revealed, but how the moment of revelation shapes their relationship with the work.   Under Wraps features new and recent works by internationally acclaimed artists Niamh Barry, Peter Lane, Studio Furthermore, Kyeok Kim, Myungtaek Jung and Marc Fish, among others, working across mirror-polished bronze, glazed ceramic stoneware, recycled aluminium and cast glass. Highlight works include a monumental stoneware wall installation by Peter Lane; illuminated bronze sculpture by Niamh Barry; a new console by Studio Furthermore in recycled aluminium with a dichroic coating; and a 22ct rose gold leaf chandelier by Marc Fish — alongside new pieces by Ian Milnes, Kyeok Kim, Deglan, Weon Rhee and Inhye Ji.   Bringing together significant new works across Art Furniture, Illuminated Sculpture, Collectable Design and Sculpture, Under Wraps reflects the breadth of Charles Burnand Gallery's programme while introducing the next chapter in the practices of many of its represented artists. Some works mark entirely new bodies of work; others extend established practices through greater ambition of scale, material and technical refinement. Together, they mirror the gallery's own position at a threshold, moving from private development into public view.   “The gallery occupies a unique place between artist and collector. It is entrusted with a work’s first cultural conversation, and with the responsibility of shaping that first encounter with care, clarity and conviction.   Every exhibition contains a moment of revelation, but that moment is usually invisible. With Under Wraps, we wanted visitors to experience it consciously — to understand that the way a work is first encountered can shape the relationship that begins.   This new Mayfair home has existed in anticipation for years, in the minds of our artists, collaborators and collectors. Under Wraps is the moment that anticipation becomes public.   The moment a work is unveiled is not simply the moment it is seen. It is the moment a relationship begins.” Simon Stewart, Founder and Curator, Charles Burnand Gallery   The Mayfair gallery has been designed by Richard Parr Architects, establishing a cohesive architectural language that will also define the Cotswolds gallery on its opening in 2027. Both spaces are conceived as sculptural environments for sculptural work, built to present materially ambitious design at a scale and quality more commonly associated with contemporary art institutions. Together, the two openings form a broader arc for the gallery: a defining cultural presence in London, followed by a landmark countryside destination for monumental, museum-scale work.   As the inaugural exhibition of Charles Burnand Gallery's new Mayfair home, Under Wrapsestablishes the curatorial direction of the space and reimagines what an opening exhibition can be, transforming the beginning of a new chapter for the gallery, its artists and their collectors into the substance of the exhibition itself.   Under Wraps will be on view at Charles Burnand Gallery, 20 Bruton Place, London W1J 6LY, from 12 September to 9 January 2027.   Private previews and press appointments are available by request. -ENDS- Notes to Editors   Featured Artists Arflex Dawn Bendick Deglan Fabrikr Fredrik Nielsen Heechan Kim Ian Milnes Inhye Ji Jan Waterston Jean-Gabriel Neukomm Jeske Haak Jungin Lee Kyeok Kim Kyouhong Lee Marc Fish Mia Jung Myungtaek Jung Niamh Barry Peter Lane Robyn Neild Simon Stewart Studio Furthermore Weon Rhee Yaerin Pyun Yanxiong Lin Press Contact Anna Mills, amills@fitzandco.com Images High-Res Images available HERE.
