Modern Art Gallery

Modern Art Gallery is situated over at Chandpole Outside Chandpole 43. I’ve lived in this area most of my life and opening this shop felt like the right thing to do since I always liked looking at paintings. The space isn’t very big, but it fits what we need to show. We have various pieces on the walls and they change every now and then when something sells or a new artist brings their work by. Chandpole is always noisy with the traffic and the people walking past, so it is nice to step inside where it is a bit quieter. I spend a lot of my day just sitting here, cleaning the glass on the frames or talking to the neighbors who stop in to say hello. It isn't one of those high-end places where you feel like you can't touch anything. It’s just a room with art in it. Sometimes the light from the street comes in through the door and hits the canvases in a certain way in the afternoon. People from the neighborhood know us, and we get the occasional traveler who got lost or is just wandering around the old city parts. We don't have a big staff, usually just me or a family member helping out. We keep things pretty simple here and don't try to be something we are not. It's just a local business doing its thing day after day.
