The Drang Gallery has added Lauren Baker’s 'Two Suns Commune' to a summer round-up of new arrivals, presenting the work as an archival pigment print hand-finished in oil. The piece measures 75 by 75 cm and is offered in an edition of 10. In the gallery’s own description, the work reflects Baker’s focus on environment and community.
The listing appears in the gallery’s email update, 'New Works To Discover This Summer', which gathers a broad selection of recent additions across the gallery’s programme. Alongside Baker, the newsletter includes works by Brian Bent, Charles Hollywood, Nelson De La Nuez, Ella Zadok, Wolfgang Bloch, Gstee, Lulu Ash, Jin Woo Prensena, Holly Razavi, Dave Buonaguidi, John Van Hamersveld, Max Steven Grossman and Nick Veasey. The Drang Gallery’s Padstow contact details also appear in the email, but the source material presents the message primarily as a sales and discovery update rather than a formal exhibition announcement.
Baker’s 'Two Suns Commune' is identified on the gallery’s work page and in the newsletter as a unique hybrid of print and painterly intervention. The archival pigment print is hand-finished in oil, a combination that gives the work a specific material profile within the broader group of summer arrivals. The source material does not provide further commentary from the artist or gallery about the image, and no additional biographical detail is supplied in the pages reviewed.
The gallery’s brief note describes Baker’s practice in thematic terms, pointing to environment and community as recurring concerns. That framing situates the work within a strand of contemporary art that links visual form to ecological and social questions, though the source stops short of elaborating on subject matter, inspiration or narrative content in the piece itself. No exhibition dates are attached to Baker’s work page, and no venue beyond The Drang Gallery’s online listing is specified for it.
Other works in the same update suggest the range of the gallery’s summer selection. Brian Bent’s 'Summer Swells' is listed as an acrylic and ink painting on canvas measuring 152 by 183 cm. Charles Hollywood’s 'Life’s A Beach Then You Die' appears as acrylic on canvas with varnish, while Nelson De La Nuez’s 'High Maintenance' is described as a unique mixed-media work. Ella Zadok’s 'Noon Reflections' is presented as oil and pastel on canvas, and Wolfgang Bloch’s '117-07 - edition' is an archival pigment print in an edition of 225.
The newsletter also includes Gstee’s 'Harbour, St. Ives' in acrylic glass in a walnut frame, Lulu Ash’s 'Lido, Jubilee Pool (Penzance)' in several sizes, and Jin Woo Prensena’s 'Stay Salty, Waikiki, Oahu' as an archival inkjet work in multiple editions and formats. Additional entries include Holly Razavi’s 'Picnic', Dave Buonaguidi’s 'Adventure Is Always A Good Idea', John Van Hamersveld’s 'The Big Wave', Max Steven Grossman’s 'Surf H', and Nick Veasey’s 'Land Rover After Surf', each presented through the gallery’s standard work pages and enquiry links.
The gallery’s website also carries a homepage banner for 'SALCOMBE REGATTA AT THE DRANG GALLERY' dated 27 July to 2 August 2026, but the supplied source material does not connect that banner directly to Baker’s work. For 'Two Suns Commune', the verified details remain the work’s format, dimensions, edition of 10 and inclusion in the gallery’s summer selection.
