    I love this indi gallery and the vibes I get when I go to visit it. Recent renovated and expanded, Studio Voltaire is celebrated for its progressive approach, its dedication to supporting artists at various stages of their careers, and its role in fostering a vibrant cultural scene in Clapham and beyond. I went to see the Tom of Finland and Beryl Cook exhibit. Only a genius can think to combine these two artists!! Thanks Studio Voltaire team :) If you are in the area, I definitely suggest to go for a tour.

    BERYL COOK / TOM OF FINLAND 15 May–25 August 2024 This major new exhibition, Beryl Cook / Tom of Finland, brings together the work of these two cultural icons for the very first time. Whoever came up with this artist pairing needs a promotion! The works compliment each other very well and there's a good balance across the gallery space. Highly recommend. ✨

    I would never have thought of Beryl Cook and Tom of Finland as having anything in common. What a great exhibition - not for the faint-hearted though 😀 Excellent venue, friendly and informative staff. Very enjoyable

    Great exhibition space, one large room but really beautiful curated. Cafe is inconsolably expensive. Feels quite isolating to the area it is in as prices are totally inaccessible. Gallery staff were so kind and welcoming and interested in talking about the work which is so lovely to hear their insights. Mixed feelings about this place, the 4 stars is largely to credit the excellent curation.
