Whether one considers food and drink as a subject for art by itself, as a representation of culture and social status, as an experience to be commemorated or to tell a story, it remains a beloved subject for artists everywhere. Food not only provides sustenance but like fine art, provides immense pleasure.
Our own decorative selections and art collections not only represent our design preferences, but say much more about who we are. Taken to its natural conclusion, food as an art form rather than merely the subject might then join to inform our own partiality and desire. Who is to say that one person might be equally effected by a cornucopia of flavours as another might be to a visual feast.

We see ourselves as ambassadors for Fine Art and for the artists that we represent. We don't mind being selective - the art which we sell, whether by a great master or a great local artist, will always be of outstanding quality. The biggest surprise being that these pieces are available to purchase!

While on a visit to Budleigh Salterton we had the good fortune to visit Brook Gallery & cafe. We were lucky as it was about to close (closing time at 1pm). As the gallery owner gave us a warm friendly and… welcoming reception. We both enjoyed lattes and shared a rather yummy flapjack and seated in very urber cool seats for viewing the varied and colourful artworks. I would whole heartily recommend the Brook Gallery any day of the week

The Brook Gallery is a fabulous gem - lovely to visit in person situated as it is on the main street in Budleigh Salterton, just metres from the sea. The current exhibition is particularly special featuring artists I love such as Sandra Blow and Anthony Frost and newer artists I am getting to know, all inspired by references and links to St Ives.
I have also had the pleasure of seeing the Brook Gallery at Fresh Art and other exhibitions as well as browsing their lovely website.

The Brook Gallery is a hidden gem featuring some of the best artwork available in the Uk.
A fantastic, well curated library of work you would be more likely to find in central London than east Devon.
The proprietor is hugely knowledgable and so engaged with her artists and able to source fantastic works .
Something to suit everyone’s taste and price points .
Definitely work an exstended visit.

Angela and her team at The Brook Gallery Budleigh Salterton, are so informative and helpful with regards to the art they sell. I have purchased from them for both my home and my business premisses, Spend some time with Angela and she listens to what you like, and holds your hand and guides you to some absolutely amazing art.
