About Vardaxoglou

Established by Alex Vardaxoglou in 2020, Vardaxoglou is a London-based gallery specialising in modern and contemporary art. The gallery’s programme features exhibitions with a number of contemporary artists in the context of regular historical surveys that present pioneering artists of the twentieth century.

Vardaxoglou has presented the first solo exhibitions in London by Lewis Brander and Tanoa Sasraku, and opened Niamh O’Malley’s first solo exhibition in London, following her representing Ireland at 59th Venice Biennale in 2022. The gallery also works with Shaan Syed and Sebastian Lloyd Rees, and in 2024 Vardaxoglou presented Turner Prize nominated Thérèse Oulton’s first solo exhibition in 10 years.

In addition to working with living artists, Vardaxoglou Gallery represents the Estate of Robyn Denny, and in 2024 presented its first Robyn Denny exhibition, a survey of the artist’s career. In 2023, in collaboration with the Estate of Richard Smith, Vardaxoglou opened an exhibition of unseen kite paintings by Richard Smith, the first exhibition of its kind, and in the same year presented a survey exhibition on Howard Hodgkin’s portraits of artists, supported by the Estate of Howard Hodgkin.

Vardaxoglou is also active in publishing regular exhibition literature, artist’s books, monographs, texts, and special editions, on occasion of particular exhibitions and artist projects, which are all available to view at the gallery and often include contributions from prominent writers, curators, and art historians.

The gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday, 11am-5pm, during exhibitions.
