Introducing...Chris Acheson

Meet exciting new artist Chris Acheson.

Taking inspiration from Andy Warhol and popular street culture, Chris Acheson's work is vivid and humorous. A chance photograph of mannequins in a shop window inspired Chris' latest works.

The themes of Chris' work are varied but popular street culture, cinema and music are key. As are the album covers and film posters from his youth. Chris feels that his work could easily be recognised as his take on Roxy Music album covers and Hammer Horror film posters.

The detail and narrative possibilities in the work of Millais, Waterhouse and Hughes, together with artists local to Chris such as Vallette and Lowry, have also influenced his style.

The stagnant, staged interior world of the shop dummy is transformed by reflected random exterior image of a bustling street into an abstract and possibly humorous image. I like the way the two worlds collided.

The Edward Weston Collection


We are extremely excited to announce the release of a collection of intimate and iconic images of Marilyn Monroe...


This portfolio of eight iconic images is taken from the private collection of Edward Weston. As a famed art publisher, Weston built his extensive collection over five decades. A pioneer in collection Hollywood Glamour photography, he established it as a form of fine art over 50 years ago. Weston’s archive boats some of the most evocative images ever taken from the golden era, most notably of Marilyn Monroe.

This collection spans the career of the ultimate Hollywood star, from her early days as an actress in 1948, to her final photo shoot in 1962. These intimate and revealing portrayals were taken by some of Marilyn’s most trusted photographers; Laszlo Willinger, Andre De Dienes, Kashio Aoki and George Barris and celebrate her life beyond the movie set. 

With Marilyn I never fall out of love.
