“In a post-pandemic world, follow a generation of young upstarts who turned unprecedented times into scarcely precedented progress.

After leaving his job with a dealer at the onset of Covid, Alex Vardaxoglou founded Vardaxoglou, opening his first show in November 2020—just as London was plunged into another lockdown—in the front room of his flat. “There was no risk,” he remembers. “I was able to set up with very little to lose.” Two years later, he would move the gallery to Soho, setting up shop in the offices of a folded insurance company.

Vardaxoglou has carved a niche in overlooked British artists from the 20th century; he is currently exhibiting a show of new works by Niamh O’Malley, an unheralded sculptor from the Western wilds of County Mayo who represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 2022.”
