The London Deal: Linden Hall Studio at The Building Centre

Established in 2014, the ethos of the gallery was always to bring the very best of contemporary British Art to the English coast. With over the 31 exhibitions, and a multitude of visitors ; the gallery is delighted and extremely proud to be able to continue achieving and expanding upon this original aim.

The gallery’s location is important to its charm. Just over an hour on the fast train from central London whilst at the same time, being a mere stones throw from the English Channel. One cannot pass through this little patch of England, it is a location, a destination one most decide to head toward.

Yet the draw of this special patch of shoreline has always been able to seduce creatives toward it. Turner twinkled at the seascape, Wilde, walked the promenade, Fleming gripped his pen, Coward grabbed a glass. Different timezones, different periods, different modes of self expression. Yet still they came. It seemed that the environment that Deal oozes, could offer something that nowhere else quite could. At Linden Hall Studio, it means very much to us that we are able to continue this areas cultural legacy – by bringing the very best of contemporary British art, to this creative section of the world.

When The Building Centre kindly invited us to curate an exhibition which showed a spread of the works and styles we had shown since we opened, we were thrilled to have such a wonderful opportunity. Looking back over our extensive exhibition programme, we have managed to put together a show featuring some of the most exciting, dynamic and engaging established artists that we have had the great privilege to exhibit within the Gallery.
