APEX / The Crypt Gallery… a great match!

Accord­ing to an already half full Guest’s Book, RP Browne’s APEX and The Crypt Gallery Lon­don are a suc­cess­ful match. Here’s some:

I’m tru­ly glad for this choice which ini­tial­ly was not an easy one to take. As men­tioned in pre­vi­ous posts the space is real­ly spe­cial, full of char­ac­ter and atmos­phere. You don’t have to be an archi­tect to real­ize how those cary­atids guard­ing a beau­ti­ful red door make up for a great entrance, or how right after it a soft cas­cade of stone steps brings you down into a dif­fer­ent world alto­geth­er, in this case, beneath “the crisp, urban crust”.

Dur­ing my first vis­it last year to the gallery though, I had seri­ous doubts as to whether to exhib­it here. I imme­di­ate­ly wor­ried about the venue impos­ing over my (or any) work; I thought my efforts might not be up to the challenge.

Now that the APEX pieces sit in not just well, but per­fect­ly com­fort­able on the vault­ed walls and pas­sages of the gallery, I feel very hap­py and yes, also relieved…this one is a match where a draw feels like a win for the two of us!
