Londonโs Most Vibrant, Contemporary Art Space Can Be a Bit Tricky to Find
One hundred metres from Tottenham Court tube, next to EMI studios, hidden above Soho Original Bookstore, sits The Gallery Soho at 125 Charing Cross Road. Although the space in its entirety covers 5 floors and is in the heart of the lively West End, it is amazingly easy to walk straight past.
If you do manage to find it, on the first floor youโll discover a red, paint-splattered expanse with an incredible selection of art from Banksy to 3D (of Massive Attack fame). The Gallery is home to the print shop of Laz Inc, agents for a host of the worldโs ultra-cool, and sometimes anonymous artists.
Floor Two of the gallery is usually a traditional โblank canvasโ space. Presently though, Whitney McVeigh is exhibiting her collection of solemn, painted heads, accompanied by US fashion photographer Pascal Demeesterโs series high fashion, highly stylised photography.
Early this year has been busy at The Gallery Soho - Triumph launched an underwear contest, a number of art exhibitions and marketing firms (on brainstorming days) have been and gone and next week begins fashion press days for French Fashion House Celine.
The Gallery Soho is quietly becoming Londonโs worst kept secret venue.

Whitney McVeigh's work is excellent - I haven't seen this exhibition but a friend of mine has one of her original portraits and it's one of my favourite pieces of art. Go and see if you get the chance.

There is some very nice and reasonably priced pieces, some pretty expensive ones too. Just leave your wallet at home.
