AN art-world exclusive is to take place in Winkfield Row, near Ascot on Saturday.

The elegant, Georgian Somerton House is the venue for a first-ever open day launch of a special exhibition of Russian paintings and British sculpture and glass.

The proprietors of the Iona House Gallery will present work from Katya and Valeriy Gridnev from 11am-5pm.

These two eminent Russian figurative artists both trained at the Academy of Fine Art in St Petersburg and have exhibited at Iona House Gallery for more than seven years, in which time their popularity has grown significantly.

Featured work also includes internationally-acclaimed Rob Beckett's bronze figurative sculptures and leading British glassmaker Bob Crooks' striking, handmade pieces.

Entry is free, and subsequently the artworks will be available to view by private appointment until Sunday, May 30.

The Somerton House Gallery is at Somerton House, Forest Road, Winkfield Row, RG42 7NJ. For more details, see www.ionahousegallery.org or call 01993 811464.
