The All Good Art Gallery
A new exhibition every month
Our back room was turned into an art gallery in 2024. Each artist has free rein to do what they want with the space. We've hosted paintings, drawings, projections and textile works.
We support local artists primarily (although do sometimes bring in artists from elsewhere). Some artists have donated works to the shop, some have art for sale and some run workshops. And we run free launch events for each one.
October: SURFACE HISTORIES by Leah Crews
Surfaces record the passing of time, collecting memories of their interactions with humans and with nature. The printmaker's block likewise, carries the hand of the artist as well as the marks of man-made tools, carved into its own surface texture. The prints in this exhibition explore the layers and textures of natural and man-made surfaces altered over time.
Leah Crews is a South London based printmaker, working with linocut and Japanese woodblock printmaking (mokuhanga), sometimes combining the two techniques within a single print. Her work is often inspired by Japan, where she trained in woodblock printmaking and has spent much time exploring. Leah holds a BA in Fine Art from Bath Spa University and an MA in Japanese Studies from SOAS, University of London.
