Coastal Gallery was founded in Lymington in 2012 with a simple conviction — that the best contemporary work deserves a setting that slows you down. In 2020 we moved inland and upstream, into the spectacular barn conversion of Palais des Vaches at Lower Exbury Farm.
Today the gallery champions painters, printmakers and photographers based locally in Hampshire and across London. The collection rotates continually: a salon-style hang of abstract painting, drawing, original prints and small sculpture, paired each season with a curated solo presentation.
Through an ongoing collaboration with Sims Reed Gallery in St James's, London, we also show original prints by internationally renowned artists — including David Hockney and Patrick Caulfield — sitting alongside the emerging names we are proud to have shown first.
Finding the right work for an interior is rarely a decision you can make from a thumbnail. Our Try Before You Buy service lets you live with a piece — in your own light, against your own walls — before you commit.
Select up to three works from the current hang. We arrange delivery across Hampshire, Dorset and West Sussex, and you have seven days to decide. Rental fees are credited in full against any purchase.
For collectors further afield, we offer the same service by secure art courier throughout mainland UK.
