Passion, Creativity & Art

Driven by an unstoppable enthusiasm for art and connection, Gallery 25 brings an infectious energy to every exhibition they curate. With backgrounds in sales and a deep love for creative expression, the two friends, Emma and Emma launched their pop-up gallery business to break down barriers and inject excitement into the traditional art scene.

Their dynamic approach transforms every showcase into an experience — where art isn’t just observed but truly felt. Whether it’s sparking conversations with visitors, discovering fresh talent, or crafting immersive events, they thrive on movement, momentum, and bringing creativity to life. With an eye for compelling work and a flair for engagement, Gallery 25 curate exhibitions that feel welcoming, vibrant, and full of inspiration.

Their goal is simple: to create spaces where artists and audiences connect in a way that’s exciting, personal, and meaningful. For those who believe art should be an experience, not just a display, Gallery 25 invites you to step into their ever-evolving world of creativity.

May’s pop-up gallery at 230 Portobello Rd features four contemporary artists:

Antonio Russo
Self-described as an abstract, expressionist he expressed his mood and emotions through the very act of applying paint to canvas in response to pieces of music – no boundaries, no rules, no judgement and most importantly no fear. With worldwide renown, his life story, a life of fascinating twists and turns is being documented by a major streaming company for release later this year on a major arts channel.

Stony
Dyslexic, autistic street artist – had a truly creative and passionate mind – sadly passing in 2019 from an untreatable brain tumour he leaves us with his diary on canvas, art at its absolute rawest form.

Natalie Hemkes
A multi-disciplinary artist whose love of colour and the natural world gives her a unique and instantly recognisable aesthetic. Her work is intense, a blend of photography and paint – she blurs the boundaries between nature and artifice, real and artificial.

Luke Maund
Inspired by a family bereavement, Luke reconnected to his artistic roots, his bold abstract style and the simplistic element to his work gives a nugget of clarity in an otherwise chaotic world – he seeks to give his viewer comfort and refuge from the complicated and messy.

A VIP evening will take place on Thursday 15 May from 5 pm - 8 pm – for more information and to RSVP for the 15th email info@gallery25.art.
