The Gallery

A gallery
without walls

Painting reimagined, pigment ground by hand, photography that treats a wall like a face. Rooted in India and open to anyone making work worth a wall. Each piece arrives with the room it was made for.

Living with it

A wall is not a gallery, and that is the point

Nothing here was made for a white cube. These are works sized for the rooms people actually have — over a sofa, at the end of a hallway, across from the bed — and they are priced so that owning one is a decision rather than an investment thesis.

I was taught to paint the way my grandmother's teachers were taught — squirrel-hair brush, stone pigment, breath held between strokes. Then I began to un-teach myself. The miniature is not a relic; it is a lens. I paint the present at the scale of devotion.

The artists

Made by hand

Two women laughing as they hold a framed painting against a wall, choosing where it goes.

How it arrives

Framed, papered and ready for the hook

Work leaves here finished. You are not meant to spend a second weekend finding a framer and a stud, so the framing, the fixings and the artist's own note on where it should hang all travel with it.

In the box

What actually arrives

Work leaves here finished. You are not meant to spend a second weekend finding a framer and a stud, so this is what travels with every piece.

  • Macro detail of the mitred corner of a solid oak frame against a white wall.

    Framed

    Conservation glass and a solid oak or blackened ash moulding, chosen with the artist.

  • Macro detail of acid-free tissue folded around a rolled work beside a kraft tube.

    Unframed

    Rolled in acid-free tissue in a rigid tube, or flat-packed if the work will not roll.

  • Macro detail of a solid brass picture hook and three brass screws on plaster.

    Hanging

    A brass hook, the right screws, and a card with the height the artist hangs it at.

  • Macro detail of the deckled edge of a cotton-rag certificate card on pale oak.

    Papers

    Signed certificate, edition number where there is one, and the artist's own note on the work.

Buy the one you keep looking at. It is almost never the one you meant to buy.

Every work in this room is one of one or one of a very few, priced by the artist, sold with their name on it.

The collection

Every work, in one room.

Walk the collection

Seen before it ships

Every work is photographed in the frame it leaves in, and you see that photograph before it goes.

Crated & protected

Packed with museum-grade care. Larger works travel crated rather than boxed.

Authenticated

Includes signed certificate of authenticity and artist documentation.
