Strychnin Gallery London

December 3rd, 2007 by Leo Plaw

Guests at the London opening.It was a very full moon on a Friday night in London. There was a certain something special in the air that comes with such nights, but on this night, October 26th the was something more. Tucked away in side street off the famous Brick Lane in the east of London, Strychnin Gallery had opened its doors to it's London presence.

To celebrate this special event, Strychnin put on display many of the artists they represent. Not to be left out of the party many of said artists flew in from the United States.

The gallery proved popular as ever with patrons. Later into the evening the sizable crowd was spilling onto the lane with a feverish hubbub of energy and discussion. Guests would have been very happy to stay on and party to the wee hours of the night, but a weary although very happy Strychnin team had to send people on their way and close their doors before midnight
and be ready again for their first open day.

Strychnin GalleryStrychnin's new London gallery is located in the famous Brick Lane district, a hub of alternative culture. The same area has a more nefarious history as the haunt of the Jack the Ripper. This has not stopped the multitudes that flock to the area for the weekend markets or one of the 70 plus curry houses that jostle with each other.

The gallery is well placed to participate and contribute to this vibrant and historical corner of London.

Strychnin's London adress is:

Strychnin Gallery London
