View is like a person who knows their own mind, and is quite happy for you to disagree with them. It’s more provocative than other commercial showrooms, with a taste for strong-impact work that has a story behind it.
Yes, the gallery might be in a slightly out-of-the-way location, but it’s definitely worth a short detour. Shows change every eight weeks or so, and are either solo or based around vague themes such as ‘momentum’, ‘scape’ or the comic book inspired ‘Ka-Boom!’. The gallery cunningly briefs artists in advance, so that much of the work exhibited is completely fresh, and exclusive.
View will be moving to new premises soon, somewhere Clifton way, but rest assured, it’ll be well worth the trudge up Constitution Hill to pay it a visit.
