Trip Hop pioneer and Portishead frontman Geoff Barrow recently opened a super tiny gallery in Bristol’s Gloucester Road called Friend & Co.
The gallery focuses on ‘outsider art’ and sets value on showing and selling no mainstream creations. Prints are available in small, strictly limited numbers only (such as 100 copies) but remain quite affordable though (a piece costs ca. 60 pounds). Once they're sold out, they're gone. The collection includes mostly works by people from Barrow’s network such as The Horrors frontman Faris Badwan, who already was published in Vice Magazine, detail-loving Andy Council or San Diego-based illustrator Mike Maxwell. A fine selection of pieces can be found on the gallery’s webshop.
Although Geoff Barrow put a lot of passion into this gallery, Portishead fans don’t have to worry. Apparently there is still enough time beside this and other projects to work on their forth album. Therefore one shouldn’t have to wait another ten years for the next album’s release.
