Affordable Art Fair
Thursday 19 March, 2026
Affordable Art Fair Hampstead returns this May, showcasing the best in affordable contemporary art from across the globe. This edition, we’ll be welcoming eight new exhibitors bringing exciting new work! Get to know the galleries making their Affordable Art Fair UK debut below, and stay tuned for the full gallery line up, announced next week!
Blue Raine Gallery
Chrysalis Art Collective
Blue Raine Gallery proudly champions female artists from around the world, bringing together innovative works across a range of styles and mediums. They are particularly excited about Laura Jordan’s debut at Hampstead, with artworks exploring the rhythm of city life. Blue Raine encourages collectors to choose artworks that spark an emotional connection.
Chrysalis Art Collective will be showcasing a trio of emerging artists: Laura Dunmow, Heather Miller and Dan Holden, each offering a fresh perspective on contemporary landscape painting. Believing that art should ignite joy and curiosity, Chrysalis hopes their selection will do exactly that. Don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello!
“Be brave. Allow yourself to choose something you’ve never seen the like of before. And remember, if something grows on you, it will stay with you. You’ll keep discovering something new in it over time.”
Pimpernel
Pimpernel Gallery
With its vibrant orange walls and eclectic mix of work, Pimpernel Gallery will be impossible to miss. Gallery owner Claire Oxley, both a practising artist and an experienced art teacher, has a keen eye for spotting emerging talent. Look out for Teddy Salad, a self-taught Modern Folk artist creating pieces from found materials and driftwood, and Eri Kato, whose work is adored by collectors in Japan yet rarely shown in the UK. Pimpernel encourages visitors to be bold and choose something they’ve never seen before!
Queen Street Gallery
Based in Neath, Queen Street Gallery showcases artwork by Welsh artists and those living in Wales, offering them the visibility they deserve. Look out for figurative pieces by Gustavius Payne and Suzanne Callen, alongside dramatic seascapes and landscapes by Sandra Wintle and David Williams: a rich celebration of Welsh creativity with something to appeal to every taste.
Van Leeuwen Art
Joining us from Richterswil, Switzerland, Van Leeuwen Art brings together four exciting artists: Juan Andereggen, Pauschenwein, Francesco Cusumano and Khrissy Clement, whose practices span recycled wood sculptures, atmospheric tin-acrylic paintings, otherworldly cosmic landscapes and photography that plays with light. Highlights include Andereggen’s thoughtful, tactile compositions made from found and recycled wood, and Pauschenwein’s striking depictions of planets and cosmic landscapes, blending nature, technology and imagination. Patricia encourages visitors to take a moment to learn about each artist’s story – it will only deepen your appreciation of the work!
“When you find an artwork that moves you, take the time to learn about the artist’s story. Understanding the background and inspiration behind the work helps you appreciate its deeper meaning, and the artwork will keep unfolding.”
Van Leeuwen Art
Orbis Contemporary
All the way from Australia, Orbis Contemporary brings a vibrant mix of contemporary Australian artists to Hampstead, with a line-up ranging from the richly textured works of Marie-Aubeline Hiot, a former pastry chef, to the organic compositions of Chelo. Highlights include Celia Fernandez’s bold geometric abstraction, built around a playful dot-based technique, and Kris Ancog’s soft, meditative dreamscapes layered in gentle paint – together offering two beautifully different perspectives on colour, light and atmosphere.
Goose and Varley
Goose and Varley will join us from Mumbai, India, promising a mix of emerging artists, established practices and cross-cultural viewpoints. Expect a new generation of South Asian talent, particularly young voices from India, across contemporary painting, striking sculpture and photography. Look out for Harleen, celebrated in India for her distinctive visual language, and Bhusham Bhombhale, whose inventive sculptural practice is not to be missed. Also showing is American artist Max Strong, with a new photography series created using materials gathered during his time in Mumbai. Like Van Leeuwen, Goose & Varley encourage visitors to focus on the artists’ stories and processes, rather than trends or investment value.
“We are very excited to be showcasing the figurative work of Gustavius Payne and Suzanne Callen, alongside the dramatic seascapes and landscapes of Sandra Wintle and David Williams.”
