What Visitors Say
We have visited a wonderful exhibition there today: The Sun and The Moon: Art inspired by the Celestial which is due to 8 September 2026. I enjoyed this exhibition and strongly recommend anyone who is interested in this topic. There were presented not only fine art works, but graphic and textile art.
A lovely gallery space I’ve enjoyed visiting (RHS Botanical Art) the last couple of years and looking forward to it again this year. There is plenty of space as well as it being nice and light.
Last day of the the Chelsea in Bloom ‘Out of this World’ exhibition on glorious sunny day and finally wended my way to the oasis of the Saatchi gallery. Minimalist decor, white walls and a feeling of space compared with the what if outside. Everyone glad to be away from the heat and experiencing the treat of fresh contemporary art in cool contemplative space that children present seemed to feel right at home in. If you read this before June 13, 2026 - please go and see Perspicere. The skilled use of straight threaded lines to produce curved 3D portraits in monotone and colour is astonishing.
Great contemporary art gallery, the Long Now exhibition was particularly imerssive. The space itself is impressive, although the ticket prices felt a little steep. Still worth a visit.
Visited the British Art Fair this September and was really impressed by the quality of work they exhibited. Not only do we get to see some traditional classical works. But there is a great number of digital art at the section called Digitalism. Totally creative, expressive and inspiring in many ways. The creators are so eager to interact with visitors sharing stories behind, which is so valuable and different from other fairs like Affordable Art Fair, Frieze, London Art Fair. The whole visit is so enjoyable and memorable 😊 Highly recommend. The venue however is not so easy to go around and ventilation must get better if they care about visitors’ user experience. Toilets facilities is limited.
