The Garrison Chapel is a Grade II listed 1852 church nestled between Pimlico Road and Chelsea Barracks. No longer a working church – it has been converted into an exhibition space for The King's Foundation. The exterior spaces around the chapel have been recently renovated and remodelled – the whole area is well worth a visit.
The current show is Face2026 – ends 26th April – however, the guy on the desk told me when I was there on Saturday that there was still fortnight to go. Hmm. You'll need to double-check that.
Here are some pics showcasing a diversity of mediums.
Yes, that's Maggi Hambling, looking very much like her own work, specifically her Oscar Wilde memorial behind St Martin in the Fields church!
Nice to see some smiling faces for a change.
I particularly admired some of the wood carvings, especially top right above (Albert Kozak) and top right below (Jared Bartz), the latter carved with a chainsaw(!) – I happened to meet and speak to Jared who was also visiting on Saturday.

I also really liked a group of twelve small pieces comprising one work by Aleksandra Mazurkiewicz, shown above bottom left next to two close ups which highlight the texture and textiles applied here. I think they probably echo the Stations Of The Cross. The small semi-concealed face was possibly my favourite piece in the whole exhibition.
