OUR STORY

Founded by three friends following a visit to an Eric Ravilious exhibition in the midst of A-level revision, we offer a broad selection of works of art chosen to reflect our own interests. We duly hope to provide a unique curation, demonstrating the developments in thought and practice in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries.
