From the Studio is an opportunity for Hart Dyke to show an eclectic collection of work that he has put aside until now, mainly landscapes of Britain which he considers central to his practice.  For example, there are paintings of the South Downs, North Norfolk and a few from the Lake District, these painted while filming a feature for the BBC One Show.  However, there are also landscapes from many of his overseas adventures, including a largish painting of Lhotse and Mt Everest, symbolic of his first mountain painting expedition.  Tucked in amongst all the landscapes are some seemingly out of place more 'illustrational' works, possibly linked to his time with the British Secret Intelligence Service.

In a year in which James Hart Dyke's work has been on display at Buckingham Palace (The King's Tour Artists July - September 2025) this latest exhibition is somewhat informal with many of the works unframed, both oil paintings and works on paper.
