AN art exhibition company in Southampton is hoping to dazzle people across Europe with a new touring initiative.

For the next four years Little Van Gogh will be working with up-and-coming UK artists to show their work in galleries across the continent.

The company based in Millbrook has offices across Europe and has launched its first tour to offer artists international exposure by exhibiting their work in a range of venues for a year in each chosen country before moving on to the next.

A group of curators and the talented painters will be travelling to France, Belgium, Germany and then the UK for the Little Van Gogh Euro Tour.

Director of the company Chloé Adams said: “We’re so excited, this is a fantastic opportunity for our chosen artists and we’re really proud to have had them selected to take part. It’s testament to their talent and we know they’ll make an impression at every venue they show at.”

A total of 18 international artists will take part in the Euro tour and the Southampton team will be taking cityscape artist Sonia Villiers from Cambridge, equine artists Yaheya Pasha from London and pop-artist Julian St Claire from Cornwall.

Chloé added: “The Little Van Gogh Euro Tour is a great opportunity for our clients to be part of something really special, where the artist is the focus. We’re looking forward to bringing colour and culture while promoting some incredibly talented European artists.”
