A new independent art gallery opened this month adding to the growing art scene in Wandsworth.

Oil & Water, located in Old York Road, Wandsworth, features original paintings, limited edition prints, sculptures and ceramics.

The gallery was set up by Penny Macfarlane, whose ambition was to give people in the area access to burgeoning artistic talent.

There will be a continuous programme of exhibitions catering for a range of tastes and budgets.

Macfarlane has also set up an innovative try-before-you-buy scheme, allowing customers to try their chosen artwork at home for seven days to see if it fits before purchasing.

She said: “I am delighted to open Oil & Water in the wonderful environment of Old York Road, joining the popular mix of independent restaurants and retailers.

“My goal is to provide the perfect showcase for hugely talented artists to exhibit their work and for art lovers to enjoy the experience of viewing and acquiring their own original pieces.”

The opening exhibition will run until November 16, followed by a display of limited edition prints from November 21.
