Pictures On Walls - We Love You!, by JD on Nov 13, 2007 23:53:27 GMT 1, When I worked in London I used to regularly go round various galleries in my lunch hour. All would make you feel very welcome and were happy to discuss the artists and their works in great detail. It was probably obvious I couldn't afford most of the work they were selling but they were happy to talk because they had a genuine passion for what they were doing. I appreciate POW aren't a London Gallery (yet) but I have never witnessed the same passion for art from them.
Dunno about that as the Ghetto is pretty good and they chat too you. Must say though in the same vain I spent half an hour in Elms talking to Paul about Ron English when I think he knew I wasnt buying and he even left a couple who I could even tell wanted to buy wait while he chatted as he wanted to show me his Ron English book.Same day I went to Laz and they are just so flash.I know they are the ghetto staff too but I think they must leave their attitude at the door.Funny thing was I was going to buy some Invader stuff but just got turned off, it was like going into Armani or Gucci where the shop assistants look you up and down and you think !!!! I went for a pint
