About
DONT WALK WALK opened in March 2017. We are an independent artist run gallery in Deal, Kent boasting a 'punk rock' ethic and a strong desire to offer something a little different. DWW is a working space with my studio in which I paint. The gallery showcases 40 + artists being emerging and established talents in painting, printmaking, illustration, photography & sculpture from domestic and international shores.
I believe the artists selected for the gallery offer refreshing, challenging and thought provoking perspectives ranging from abstract fantasy to linear & stark representational honesty.
So why ‘DONT WALK WALK’ ? Well it will be a test of the visitors and locals to see if they will ‘walk’ to the gallery, which is located at the ‘wrong’ end of town. This for me is part of its appeal I always envisioned a small back street space much like the ones I visited in Lower East Side in New York, bit rough around the edges and not taking themselves to seriously.
