The Lemongrove Gallery

Great place to go when you have a spare moment whilst on Chiswick High Road. Always a great selection of art work on display and most pieces are reasonably priced. Staff are amazing, always offering Proseco, champagne and nibbles.
Many a lunch break has been spent in the lemongrove and not a moment wasted

I have walked past this gallery many times, but I had never really taken the time to see what they had to offer. As I wet in I wasn’t surprised, it is just not the kind of art I can truly appreciate and enjoy. However, I can understand why they might be very successful in more commercial arenas. Such as, taking up commissions to decorate the interiors of an office building, or art of government institutions, or banks, or any of the sort. I wouldn’t personally pay £3,000 for a painting of the sea, which was what Rebecca Lardner proposed with her work ‘Coastal Life’. Nevertheless, ‘To the Limit’ by James Blinkhorn touched on a more resonant matter; the sprawl of urbanisation, traffic, air pollution, some in black and one which were quite striking.
The space it self is not big and you may get distracted from some black columns in the outside structure of the gallery, takes a bit away from the work. Even so, it never hurts to have a look at other people’s art regardless of whether I personally like it or not, they must be doing something right if a gallery is willing to have their work for sale.
