Sun’s out, tent’s down. The tent from the tennis club which was casting a shadow over the gallery over the winter has been let down for the summer. Giving us the perfect excuse to head down to check it out and do a bit of social distancing exercise at the same time. Lucky to have this right on our doorstep 🚲 ✔️ . . #oneformofexerciseaday #bikeriding #Bournemouth #streetart #socialdistancing #upsidegallery

Loved this street art in Bournemouth on Saturday, certainly a great way of cheering up a boring bridge! . #bournemouth #visitbournemouth #dorset #visitdorset #streetartgraffiti #streetart #graffiti #art #photography

Time flies! 2 years later and we’re moving on. It’s been an incredible time and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved! Over 150 sales of original art and prints going into peoples homes, represented over 20 artists and brought a new type of gallery onto a Poole high street and a new conversation piece for our regular visitors. Last day of the latest show ‘Locals Only’ before we pack it all down and move to a new studio space up the road in Branksome. Link in bio for online sales in the meantime! 👋 🚚 #wearekingland #artgallery #urbanart #paintshopstudio #gallery

Our date for leaving this space in Kingland is set for next week and we’re currently working hard getting our new space up and ready. Whilst this means no change for our mural and studio projects some of the larger gallery pieces will no longer be available online either soon - so if you have been holding out now’s the time to check out online. Free local delivery within 5 miles of Poole. We’re still planning on showing art at a smaller scale in the new space though so watch this space for more news! Here’s a snap of some of the prints from the current ‘Locals Only’ show with artists @rickyalso and @markwardstudio #loveart #artgallery #studiospace #paintshopstudio

'Big Boy' - Acrylic, spraypaint and emulsion on wooden panel. 20x30" New work from my show 'Locals Only' at @paintshopgallery I created a new series of work on wooden panels. A new direction for me, but it made a connection with my interest in skate culture and was a great smooth surface to work on. It holds the paint well and the natural tone of the wood helps balance the bright colours in the artwork. Available for purchase in bio link. More in the series to follow! 🍔👀 #art #burger #bigboy #LocalsOnly #illustration #exhibition #show #arts how #artist #Americana #popart #pop #Bournemouth #skateboarding #culture #painting #hideandseek #fastfood #junkfood #fade #gradient #markwardstudio

Huge thank you to everyone that came to the official opening of ‘Local’s Only’ - a joint art exhibition from our creative director Ricky Also and artist Mark Ward. It was an amazing night and great to bring so many creative folk under one roof. The work will stay up in our gallery space for a couple weeks and can be seen during the week, Monday to Friday 11am to 5pm (or it can also be seen and bought on our website now!). We’re so pleased with the feedback received and hope you enjoy the final show from our little space on Kingland! @rickyalso @markwardstudio #wearekingland #localsonly #lovepoole #paintshopstudio #artshow #gallery

My collection of new work is all about ‘process’ and gives an insight into my creative decisions, thought process and structure behind my pieces. Here’s a taster of what I’ve been up to. The full collection will be on display, along with @markwardstudio , at our new show Locals Only, opening Friday 24th March at @paintshopgallery . Hope to see you there : ) Best viewed with sound ON 👍🏼 #creativeprocess #hustle #gallerylife #typography

Some original art from the gallery looking on point for the brand new opening of @jay_andco on Kingland Crescent later today. These pieces are currently on a short loan with @restored_retro but look very much at home in their new combined shop space just a few doors down. #wearekingland #originalart #retro #jayblades #restored #paintshopstudio
