As we get ready to say goodbye to Emma Richardson’s solo exhibition, 'Levitate Me: Desire, Ecstasy and the Sublime' at the end of August, we look forward to a fascinating talk to here at the Gallery this Saturday 15 August at 2.30pm.

At this unique event, Richardson will introduce her work and art historian Sara Riccardi will expand on the themes of the exhibition, looking at them from a broader art-historical lens. In how many forms was desire represented in past centuries’ art? What did it mean to represent transcendence? And what does this tell us about art’s power to express humanity?

NEW FOYER SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT 🤩

Gareth Lord: A Tattoo Machine & A Thousand Stories: opening Saturday 25 July 2026

Gareth Lord is a tattoo artist based at White Smoke Tattoo Studio in Southampton. Working within a medium that has undergone profound cultural transformation in recent decades, his practice sits at the crossroads of image-making, identity, and human connection.
Through his work, Lord offers insight into tattooing not merely as decoration, but as a deeply personal and culturally significant art form—one that continues to challenge assumptions, foster connection and inscribe individual stories onto the body— and one you can take home.
