If I was an artist with art here, I’d not be happy. I can’t remember the last time I walked into a business(and don’t forget, a gallery is a business) and the person working there literally didn’t even bother to look up from their book. The woman working ignored me to a spectacular, purposeful degree. The work was fine, but the art IS for sale — but even if I’d liked it enough to buy, I’d have had to abstain on principle. Perhaps there is some silence code in the art world that I don’t know about, some layer of coolness that I’m supposed to expect. Perhaps I’m meant to be grateful for the opportunity to browse around undisturbed, but at the VERY least… saying hello to people who enter on a Saturday afternoon should be expected. So rude.

Analogue Gallery located at Queen and Bathurst is an epic Rock and Roll photography gallery. The gallery is roughly 800 square feet, at street level, bright, clean and stylish. The images are iconic, beautiful and tastefully framed. Seeing a fantastically shot composition of Jimi Hendrix or David Bowie from the 1960s invokes the feeling of nostalgia and a deep love of classic rock music. The gallery also rents out the space for customized special events providing catering services, bar staff, DJing, and in house event photography. Bonus points to the gallery owner for having an adorable black lab that chills out in the space.

If you’re a fan of rock music and art, Analogue Gallery is the place you want to visit. The gallery exhibits photographs of the most iconic people in music: Dylan, the Beatles, Marley, Bowie, and Blondie, to name a few. The photography is gorgeous and beautifully framed. All of the works have been taken by live music photographers from around the world. If you’re an aspiring live music photographer, come here and study the works. You will be inspired. I believe some of the prints, if not all, are for sale unless otherwise noted. The gallery is also used as a venue space for private and public events. Check their blog to see what’s coming up.
