Our Story

Knutsford Art Gallery was created with a simple vision: to celebrate exceptional craftsmanship and showcase artwork from some of the most talented tattoo artists and contemporary painters working today.

The gallery brings together years of experience, industry knowledge, and a deep passion for art, bridging the worlds of tattoo culture and fine art in a way that feels modern, authentic, and beautifully curated.

Decades Inside the Tattoo & Art World

The foundation of the gallery is rooted in decades spent attending tattoo conventions, art exhibitions, industry events, and creative gatherings across the UK and Europe.
During this time, the founder developed close relationships with award-winning tattoo artists, many of whom were creating extraordinary paintings and fine art alongside their tattoo work.

These experiences offered rare insight into:
✔ the craftsmanship behind tattoo artistry
✔ the transition from skin to canvas
✔ the creative discipline required in both fields
✔ the growing movement of artists expanding into fine art
✔ the difference between “good” and truly exceptional artwork

This long-standing presence within the tattoo community shaped the gallery’s direction, ensuring every piece curated is chosen with knowledge, respect, and a trained eye.

A Collector’s Eye for Quality

As an art collector himself, the founder understands what makes a piece special:
the balance of technique, originality, emotion, and long-term value.

Knutsford Art Gallery was established to bring this insight to others, offering collectors a thoughtfully curated space where every artwork has been selected for its artistic merit, craftsmanship, and individuality.

Whether you are purchasing your first original painting or expanding a growing collection, the gallery’s approach is personal, supportive, and grounded in genuine passion for the work and the artists behind it.
