What Visitors Say
BERYL COOK / TOM OF FINLAND 15 May–25 August 2024 This major new exhibition, Beryl Cook / Tom of Finland, brings together the work of these two cultural icons for the very first time. Whoever came up with this artist pairing needs a promotion! The works compliment each other very well and there's a good balance across the gallery space. Highly recommend. ✨
Great local gallery to visit. The building and the garden outside are beautiful, and the furnish inside is modern and comfortable to look around. The shop also has some interesting items that are made by the artists that the gallery collaborates with. The exhibitions are inspiring and it is obvious that the curatorial team have really put the effort to organise them
Currently showing an exhibition showcasing the work of Beryl Cook and Tom of Finland this art space is a welcome addition to Clapham s culture scene. There is a restaurant also Be warned the current exhibition is not for those who are easily offended.
I love this indi gallery and the vibes I get when I go to visit it. Recent renovated and expanded, Studio Voltaire is celebrated for its progressive approach, its dedication to supporting artists at various stages of their careers, and its role in fostering a vibrant cultural scene in Clapham and beyond. I went to see the Tom of Finland and Beryl Cook exhibit. Only a genius can think to combine these two artists!! Thanks Studio Voltaire team :) If you are in the area, I definitely suggest to go for a tour.
Incrediblly cute little gem just off the Clapham High Road. Small space but well curated and a gorgeous gift shop. Nice cafe and friendly staff - and free!
