Whitewall Galleries

I left a recent trip to the an art gallery rather creative. After stumbling upon the Whitewall Gallery I was extremely inspired but I didn’t know what to do with it.
The gallery is home to a variety of high end art pieces from all around the world
They offer an art consultancy service which helps you find that special investment art piece for you or a gift for a loved one.
They specialise in providing fine contemporary art which represents individuality and quality.
If you’re a true art love then this gallery is definitely worth checking out.

Wow, a gallery in the middle of the city open on Sunday, on a day I can actually take a few minutes to wander in.
I have seen Whitehall in a couple of locations in the region but it’s only now I discover that they actually have a few across the country.
For sure Whitehall are appealing to the masses, placed as they are in the centre of towns and cities. Obviously not everyone buys art — to enjoy or to invest in, but their locations mean they may well appeal to those who have enough surplus cash.
Anyway, currently in Birmingham they are exhibiting abstract paintings from brothers Chris & Steve Rocks. This is particularly interesting to me as I’ve just come back from a road trip from the borders area in northern England which is what has inspired this collection. The work is dark but they have an interesting way with colours.

I’ll be honest with you I’ve only been here twice and both times it was shelter from the rain whilst I waited for my bus to turn up at nearby Colmore Row — both times it reminded me a bit of my time at Athena (I know this ages me somewhat but I loved working at Athena) — the artwork for sale here is all very nice and discrete and would probably look lovely in a show home but therein lies the problem — it’s art designed to go with your sofa.
A visit to their website confirms this — they offer an art consultation service which promises advice on what art work to acquire for your home or workplace, which given the photographs seems to depend on what shade of wallpaper you own.
I’m sorry to sound sniffy but this really isn’t my cup of tea — and this is from someone who rather likes L’enfant prints (we’re back to my time at Athena again) and the odd Monet. Still, its a nice enough place to spend a few minutes and if you find yourself left stranded by the 22 bus and without an umbrella its definitely worth a look.

This gallery is a superb dealer and retailer of fine art. A perfect place to kill time before a show or to hide from the rain during British summer time. A must for all art addicts! Open Monday to Friday 9−5pm.
