Welcome to the Picture website.  Picture is a framing gallery situated in West London in the Brook Green area of the Shepherds Bush Road.   Established in 1989 as studio based picture framers the gallery was opened in 2000. We specialize in high quality picture framing for both trade and retail clients from the simplest of ready made frames to conservation standard hand finished bespoke framing.

The gallery holds an eclectic mix of contemporary art, primarily British printmakers as well as a range of children’s prints which are available to buy framed or unframed. Below are some of our featured artists at the present time. 

Quentin Blake
Quentin Blake’s illustrations have an exuberance and vitality that transcends age barriers, appealing to both children and adults alike. Known best for his collaborations with Roald Dahl, he has illustrated over 250 books and is now recognised as a national institution according to the Guardian. This is a new release of signed and numbered giclee prints in an edition of  only 195. 

Betty Bib
These exquisite watercolours and embroideries are the work of Lesley Buckingham, creator of Betty Bib, the reknowned fairy scholar and collector of fairy memorabilia. She has published three richly illustrated books to date, including ‘Betty Bib’s Fairy Christmas’ and ‘Betty Bib’s Fairy Handbook’. This is a rare opportunity to buy her original artwork, and we also have some smaller hand crafted individual fairies in deep cut 8 ply mounts.  

School prints
Collectors of school prints, a series of 40’s lithographs, might be interested in these five previously unavailable original prints, which include:
Kenneth Rowntree - Tractor
John Tunnard - Holiday
John Nash - Harvesting
Felix Kelly - Drifters+Steamers
Julian Trevelyan - Harbour (pictured above). It is unusual to find surviving prints in such good condition and stock is extremely limited so please call to check price and availability.

Sir Peter Blake
Sir Peter Blake is releasing a series of 12 retrospective silkscreen prints of icons from his work during the 50’s and 60’s, such as Marilyn Monroe. Each print in this series is signed and numbered by Sir Peter Blake in an edition of 175. The first 25 will not be released singly as they will become part of a portfolio to be released at a later date.  Each of the 25 boxed folios will contain all 12 prints with matching edition numbers. The eighth print of this series has just been released entitled ‘Billy Rainbow’, who according to the text on the print is long lost twin brother of the current ladies heavyweight champion of the world Bobbie Rainbow, and the son of Babe Rainbow. Peter Blake’s silkscreen on tin of Babe Rainbow, released in 1968, is now highly collectible and this print should be one of the most popular of the entire series.
