The beautiful Grade II listed building on Fish Street that now hosts The Art Vaults has been home to many different institutions in its five centuries of history. We are privileged to present our first gallery on this lovely cobbled street, with the sole aim of exhibiting both established and promising new artists.
With a focus on European 19th, 20th and 21st century fine paintings we have punctuated our selection with bright, hot landscapes, cool, fresh seascapes, and beautifully detailed still lives. Some artists you will know, and some you will learn to love. With detail as fine as spun silk, thick, rich impasto, together with broad, glossy, impressionist strokes we hope to capture your imagination within the pages of this website.
