collecting with a conscience…

Purslane was founded in 2020 to shake up the status quo of the art market and promote a more socially conscious way of investing in art while supporting emerging artistic talent and raising awareness around philanthropic causes. The new gallery initiative is the gallery model of the future, disrupting and democratising the institutionalised art market by directing the majority of the proceeds to the artists and charitable organisations.

An online fundraiser in celebration of International Women’s Day. Raising funds for Women’s Aid, a British charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children.

‘What She Said’ brings together the creative work of a group of some of the most exciting female and non-binary artists currently practising in the UK. The title is a play on the widespread crass sexual innuendo, ‘that’s what she said,’ reframed and rearticulated as an invitation to observe the voices of women, represented here, through their works of art.

Contributing artists: Bobbye Fermie, Azzurra Galatolo, Alma Berrow, Colette LaVette, Nooka Shepherd, Pollyanna Johnson, Yishi Chen, Emily Ponsonby and Catherine Repko

25% of all sales will be donated to Women’s Aid.
