Award Winning Oil Painter John – Mark Gleadow to Return to The Wit Gallery’

The Wit Gallery welcomes award-winning painter John-Mark Gleadow for its annual “Open Aire” exhibition of the artist’s ultra-realist works. The artist will be showcasing his newest pieces and working on his most recent commission under the “Open Aire Gallery” tent.


John-Mark Gleadow is internationally known for his “Book Spine” paintings and giclées; paintings of bookshelves describing a theme or telling a story through a series of hand painted, imagined books. His annual summer visit to The Wit Gallery is an opportunity for the Berkshire community to see a true master at work while engaging in conversation.
