The Fountain gallery is an asset to Bridge Road. We need somewhere like this. Although it is a…read moresmall shop it is amazingly effective. The premise is that it is a cooperative art gallery. It is collectively run by 18 artists who showcase their work here on alternate times. The Fountain Gallery also have guest artists. Usually each artist is allocated a certain period of time in which to showcase their work. I believe that the times are not fixed. Most artists seem to take it over for about a month. During this time they oversee the gallery, so customers can come and talk to the artists about their work. The art comes in a mixture of forms. Generally it is painted work, most in watercolours, sometimes there are photographers who exhibit their work. Occasionally there are potters. Although the gallery closes at 6, I have often walked past and seen open evenings, it is worth phoning ahead to find out what is on.

It's a co-operative of many artists so the exhibitions change frequently and, as a bonus, are run by the artists themselves. Come here to enjoy the art in relaxing surroundings, perhaps with a glass of wine to enhance your pleasure. Talk to the artist and buy anything from a postcard to a limited-edition print or even a full-blown oil painting or sculpture. If you want to turn yourself into a work of art you can sometimes buy, or commission, a pretty piece of original jewellery too.

They always have an artist exhibition going with some really beautiful pieces on offer - all contemporary artists... mainly British, but some stellar international talent as well. I love coming in here to simply admire the latest show that they have on their walls. It's a fantastic gallery with a really great ethos - to promote the work of modern-day artists who have a striking aesthetic that gives you slight pause. Right now, there are some invigorating landscape pieces on display by a lovely London artist, Gill Rocca... lots of snowy paths that fade into infinity and dark trees that mesmerize in a sapphire twilight - captivating and absolutely refreshing.

I could have been as rebellious as Lesley Ash on a Lambretta on route from London to Brighton, but…read moreall I did was hesitate on the cake I was ordering with coffee when I was snapped at that closing time was at 5pm. It was 4.24. So, I drew a long breath and 'Uhm'd?' for as long as I could exhale and chose the smallest side sweet. Not to penalise them with a lowish cover from me for the 36 full minutes I was preparing to spend in this picture framing shop-come-coffee lounge soaking up the creativity of Coulsdon, where in this quirky setting the rules of retro style have just reached the realms of Reedham, but my pastry's petiteness was to help me avoid going against the rules of calorific intake guidelines for a person of my size, of course. In fact I did rebel, almost. I made sure we stayed until exactly 4.58 and were almost the last to leave. I also had a bit of my dates quite moist carrot cake, taking me over the government's calorific guidelines for a person my size! So there! Who's Rock and Roll now? *Licking Fingertip to press it on an imaginary a hot surface* Tsss! Nevertheless, Art Rebellion won in the rebellious one upmanship stakes. I ordered a drink of my choice; I got something else (they fixed it without question and the coffee was actually rather good), but whilst I wanted to soak up the scene of zone 6 where Art Rebellion sits in a pioneering spot as the first independent coffee shop between the M25 and where the southern tip of London starts, however the only thing I was soaking up and sucking in was the horrid smell of Mr Sheen as the tables were quite vigorously sprayed with the foul faux-flowery smelling furniture polish. So I abandoned my undercooked cookie and allowed myself to be ushered out. Art Rebellion's definitely injecting some cool into Coulsdon, but it's not quite the new Crouch-End yet.

I have walked past this gallery many times, but I had never really taken the time to see what they…read morehad to offer. As I wet in I wasn't surprised, it is just not the kind of art I can truly appreciate and enjoy. However, I can understand why they might be very successful in more commercial arenas. Such as, taking up commissions to decorate the interiors of an office building, or art of government institutions, or banks, or any of the sort. I wouldn't personally pay £3,000 for a painting of the sea, which was what Rebecca Lardner proposed with her work 'Coastal Life'. Nevertheless, 'To the Limit' by James Blinkhorn touched on a more resonant matter; the sprawl of urbanisation, traffic, air pollution, some in black and one which were quite striking. The space it self is not big and you may get distracted from some black columns in the outside structure of the gallery, takes a bit away from the work. Even so, it never hurts to have a look at other people's art regardless of whether I personally like it or not, they must be doing something right if a gallery is willing to have their work for sale.
