Showcasing a rotating collection of contemporary art, including figurative paintings alongside non-figurative works, 155A replaces the traditional ‘white box’ gallery model with an architectural-domestic setting inspired by dynamic spaces such as Kettle’s Yard and Pallant House. A trained ceramicist and graduate of Central St Martins, founder Karen Akhtar works with a variety of established and upcoming artists, several of them graduates from nearby Camberwell College of Arts, as well as craft-makers and members of the New English Art Club. These collaborations offer a chance to exhibit from a three-dimensional perspective with a focus on storytelling or sometimes more formal themes. The south-facing studio, once a Victorian bakery, mounted its first exhibition of works by author and printmaker Gareth Brookes in 2018 and since then has showcased a broad selection of pieces, including ceramics by Mimi Joung and collage by Jane Morter.
