CORNERAbout Us
It’s going to be all change here soon. I’m coming up for 5 years on the 17th may and since I opened I have remained steadfast in new exhibitions in the gallery each month mostly of international artistes but some select local stunners also. However from August 2012 till end of the year, the gallery is being run slightly differently. A bit of an experiment. I’ve noticed that with each exhibition the big ones go first. I’m also telling people about other exhibitions always coming up because perhaps they don’t care for the current exhibition. You know – personal taste and all that. So we’ve got “5 for 5” which is basically five of the most renowned and fastest selling artistes we’ve had before, each with one large painting at any time on display at the gallery. As a piece sells they bring another in. It’s gonna be real different than trying to fit in 60 paintings on the walls in one go! Confirmed is TINA DAVIS and the other ones are secret till june!! (they’re just starting to paint for this exhibition now!). but nothing else changes with the shop or me or my staff or the nice chats or the funny signs on the board or the daily bargains or the mad tweet offers or the launches. Phew! Some things never change. Oh and don’t forget we run a furniture list now for the shabby chic pieces in the shop – if you missed out then tell me what you want and you get first dibs. Life really is that easy sometimes. Oh and blimey – how could I forget. I just negotiated a deal with TINA DAVIES that we are having a permanent dresser with her ceramic cups, bowls, plates, jugs, t-lights and anything else she creates in her kiln from end of MAY in the shop. Exciting stuff!
Affordable Art
Some people already know that I operate payment plans which have covered anything from £20 to a ceiling of £500. Basically you can put aside any piece of art. We split that cost over 2 or 3 months depending on the artist’s permission. There are no fees at all! One lady bought a painting for £50 and emptied the change from her husband’s trousers every night and instead of a coffee she brought it into the gallery until it was paid off. One day there was about eleven pence! She told her husband it cost the equivalent of a bit of spare change. If only he knew! So don’t be shy – if you really want a painting but can’t quite shell out for it in one go – think about a payment plan.
