The Drawing Gallery is the only private gallery in the UK to focus entirely upon exhibiting and selling contemporary drawing. It has been welcomed by the art community as an important, and long awaited, addition to the British art scene.
Located in the heart of London’s gallery district between the Royal Academy and Christie’s auction house, it occupies an open, light, intimate space looking directly onto bustling Duke Street St. James’s.

Eleven special exhibitions are held each year presenting new work by artists of international, national or emerging reputations. In addition the gallery also holds a large and changing selection of contemporary drawing. These provide a unique opportunity to view and purchase affordable artworks that will be of interest to established collectors as well as those who are just beginning.

Drawing as an exploratory and purposeful activity comes in many modes and media. It starts at that moment when thinking begins to take visual form. It is the visible evidence of the trajectory of capture, reaction, reflection, risk, interrogation, ordering, rehearsing and proposition. For some artists it contributes toward the generation of later artworks, whilst for others the drawings are intentionally complete.

Whichever is the case, for the collector the directness of drawing provides a unique insight into the personal aesthetic preoccupations of the artist.
