Gallery / Studio / Graduate residency program We also have a limited number of opportunities for gallery hire within our calendar.

The Muse gallery was established in 2003, in order to support emerging artists by combining creative and commercial elements under one roof. We inherited the building from the creators of 'Green & Blacks' to convert the town house into a mayhem of cultural, creative and commercial activities. We offer exhibition space for contemporary artists, whether established or emerging, accepted purely by me

rit of work. Throughout the year community arts projects, musicians, film makers and live performers are invited to submit proposals for workshops and events at No. 269, Portobello Road and collaborate with our modest team of artists to present to London.

The Shape of Gesture – Alexandra Harley Alexandra Harley
21 May – 14 June

Although Alexandra’s works are not kinetic, they explore motion through the relationship between multiple elements. Forms lean, balance, and interact, creating a sense of tension and suspended animation — as if a fleeting moment has been held in time.
The spaces between the forms are as important as the solid material, encouraging viewers to move around the sculptures and experience them from different angles.
All artworks are available for purchase. Please contact the gallery for enquiries.

The Shape of Gesture – Alexandra Harley
21 May – 14 June

Alexandra says: ‘I seek to manifest a state of suspended animation: transitory fragments arrested mid-gesture, as though time itself has paused. Bronze enables a particular precision in this pursuit. Its tensile strength allows for openness and reach — limbs of form extending into space, counterbalanced by voids that are as structurally and visually active as the solid elements themselves. The airways carved through the sculptures are not incidental; they are integral, activating the surrounding space and inviting the viewer to move through and around the work’.

The Shape of Gesture – Alexandra Harley solo
21 May – 14 June

The artist says: Rather than pursuing sculpture’s monolithic authority, I am drawn to rhythmic motion, negative space, and precarious balance. Unease and tension are deliberately embodied — forms lean, hover, and press against equilibrium, poised on the threshold between stability and collapse. The resulting st9ructures are composite, dialogic, and relational, offering shifting readings from multiple viewpoints.
All artworks are available for purchase. Please contact the gallery for enquiries.
