Inside Hidden Gallery in Clifton
To showcase the best of the art world, Hidden has recently added an exhibition space which will feature a new selling exhibition every month. Starting with a stunning show of all 40 Matisse Cut-outs, including the famous Blue Nudes, followed by an exhibition of limited editions by Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.

Hidden is run by Chris Kendall, only yards from the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge and in an area full of boutique and designer shops.
Chris, who has been an art collector for many years, moved to Bristol more than 30 years ago to run Bristol institution Plastic Wax Records. Although a Yorkshireman by birth, Chris considers himself a Bristolian through-and-through.
Speaking on the partnership with Bristol 24/7, Chris said: “It will help Hidden spread the word about the rich variety of art available in the gallery and perhaps open readers eyes to new artists.
