Double Elephant

We don’t have an elephant in the room, we have a Double Elephant in the Road. Which is cool.
Anyway, Double Elephant is a new gallery at No 42 Norman Road.
From the elephants themselves:

“We are a new shop on The Norman Road (No 42) currently featuring the paintings of Tony Beaver ~A London based Artist, best known for his portraits, from potatoes to Tommy Cooper. He has shown at the Paton Gallery, The Redfern (Cork Street) Flowers East & other London & Regional Galleries. Also showing ~ work by Martin Grover and Martha MacDonald (fellow London Based Artists) & Anni Axworthy (an Artist living and working in France).
All our work has great strength of character & individuality, creating a space more akin to a museum than a white box.”

New Paintings

Lucy Bell loves Ken Russell

And her husband prints the pictures.

Well it’s all true and hard to resist as a responsible bit of reportage.

Lucy Bell gallery has a very terrific Ken Russell exhibition. Now.

Lots gone already. Some corkers still there. Go and see. Please.

Norman Road is changing and refining eclectically, and we are going to welcome some Norman Neighbours: people who are nearby but don't fit in any category known to Norman. Artists, Book publishers and karmic creatives will all be here.
The Bloomsbury of the south coast, thats what we are now. Allegedly.

Fun FONs here
