Celebrating 10 Years

Art, fashion, and design have always been the guiding forces and passions of Kitty Clark, founder and curator at Saint Cloche. Her creative journey has never been confined to a singular output, drawing inspiration from everything she sees, hears, and dreams.

This year marks Saint Cloche’s 10th birthday. To celebrate, Kitty has curated our largest group exhibition yet, featuring past, present, and future artists across two separate spaces: our iconic corner in the heart of Paddington and nearby Comber Street Studios.

'Oasis' draws inspiration from Kitty’s most cherished creative era, the 1970s—a time of new artistic movements and a burgeoning interest in individuality and counterculture themes. By definition, 'Oasis' is a green or fertile area in an arid desert region, or a refuge offering solace and sanctuary.

Inspired by our partnership with Tiffany & Co., the exhibition is, in part, an homage to Elsa Peretti, a pioneer of modernist minimalism known for her biomorphic designs with Tiffany & Co. Her renowned Spanish retreat, an oasis filled with treasured mementos, epitomises the measured, less-is-more aesthetic that influenced her iconic artistry. This year marks Peretti’s 50th anniversary with the iconic jewellery house.

This handpicked group of artists offers new perspectives and distinctive styles, challenging conventional beauty norms and pushing boundaries. In the constantly evolving realm of contemporary art, fresh talent revitalises the field, ensuring its dynamic future and ongoing innovation.

It has always been Saint Cloche’s mission to become a hub for creatives to commune and collaborate. With an ethos of building community, we create a living, breathing oasis for our kinfolk to find sanctuary and inspiration. 

Thanks to all our artists and supporters for their kinship throughout the years—creatives that span the gamut from the diverse worlds of art, fashion, food, architecture, design, nature-lovers, activists, and changemakers.

This June, we invite you to immerse in the visceral calm explored by the talented artists of ‘Oasis’ and join us in celebrating this momentous milestone in our art-filled spaces.
