We are delighted to be showing the work of long time friend of the gallery Guy Portelli.
After a recent successful pitch on the BBC's Dragon's Den programme Guy has been working flat out to create the suite of works called 'Pop Icons' which will be his Magnum Opus to be exhibited at London's prestigious Mall Galleries in June 2009.
To see Guy in the Dragon's Den please visit:

We are therefore more thrilled than usual that he has found the time to bring together the sculptures and recent paintings that form this exhibition.
Exhibition runs Friday 19th September - Saturday 4th October 2008 inclusive.
Drinks preview Thursday 18th September 6-8 pm, all welcome.
Our picture framer Sarah Sharp has just passed her exam to become a Fine Art Trade Guild Commended Framer.
Sarah who has been a full time professional picture framer for over 20 years, decided that
this year her skills would finally get official recognition.
So despite being rather an old hand at the game, she determinedly pored over the study
guide, carefully prepared her example pieces and nervously traipsed off to Birmingham
to sit the exam.
Although admitting that she hadn’t slept very well the night before and that the
last exam she had taken had been her driving test, Sarah still passed with flying colours.
So well done our Sarah!
