TAKE STOCK
Every gallery accumulates work.
Paintings return from art fairs. Sculptures come back from exhibitions. Pieces are held for projects that never materialize, collectors change their minds, and occasionally, works simply linger. Over time, a warehouse becomes a strange kind of archive: part history, part inventory, part accidental collection.
Take Stock is exactly that.
Drawn from both the gallery walls and the warehouse, this exhibition brings together works by artists from the BEERS London roster that have, for one reason or another, returned to us. Some have been exhibited before. Others have traveled extensively. A few have spent years quietly waiting in storage.
This is not a tightly themed exhibition. It is, quite literally, an opportunity to take stock of what is here.
Yet placing these works together inevitably creates unexpected conversations. Paintings made years apart find common ground. Different generations of artists share the same room. Works once separated by geography, timing, or circumstance are brought into direct dialogue.
For us, the exhibition is also a reminder of the gallery's history. Every piece represents a moment in our programme and a relationship with an artist whose work we continue to believe in. Together, they form a loose portrait of where we've been, what we've championed, and what continues to excite us.
Presented alongside Shared Appetite, a solo exhibition by Artist-in-Residence Georgia Dymock, Take Stock offers a snapshot of the wider community of artists that has helped shape BEERS London over the years.
