‘above the blue‘ is Hampshire’s refreshing new contemporary art gallery, in a stunning location overlooking the marina on the Upper Boardwalk at Port Solent Marina. The gallery specialises in original paintings, ceramics and sculpture from a hand picked selection of individual makers, that have been chosen for the superlative quality of their work.
Lynn Picket, owner of above the blue is an experienced gallery manager, and aims to bring some fantastic new artworks to Port Solent. Lynn has been busy scouting the country for both established and emerging artists and building a collection which she hopes will attract art lovers from far and wide. Lynn will be featuring paintings, sculptures and a variety of other interesting artworks and hopes to host several art events each year at The Boardwalk.
Apart from paintings, the range includes quirky clocks, unusual mirrors, hand thrown mugs, bronze resin sculptures of animals by Cornish artist, Suzie Marsh, slip cast bone china vessels by the UK’s foremost exponent in this medium, Sasha Wardell, superb cast glass sculptures by Adriana Brinsmead-Stockham, right through to a very versatile range of jewellery by Annabel Owens plus much much more.
In addition, above the blue offers a high quality framing service with professional & friendly guidance, helping you to choose a framing solution that enhances & compliments your artwork, with an extensive range of mouldings from traditional to the latest contemporary designs. So, whether you are looking for a beautiful work of art for yourself, or you are searching for a unique gift for any room in the house, or your office, or even just a card, above the blue is the place to visit. A warm and friendly welcome awaits everyone, from the keenest collectors and corporate-art buyers, to people buying ‘real’ art for the first time – or those who just happen to be passing by and fancy a look, so please do drop in for a browse….
