The modern architect designed space is home to quality contemporary art made by an engaging roster of artists. All these artists create innovative and beautiful work with a shared theme central to their practice– fascinating process. The gallery, working studio and sculpture garden, situated near Lenham Kent contains the landmark concrete chamber where owner Nick Veasey creates his x-ray art.

Very modern gallery, beautifully designed and exciting to approach. Inside, plenty of light on a grey winter's day. The exhibition of x-ray art was quite mesmerising. We were shown round by the delightful Chelsea who gave us insights into Nick Veasey and his process of creating and assembling x-ray photos. She also gave us a peek into the x-ray chamber. Well worth a visit to experience something genuinely innovative.
