A star-studded art event at St Albans’ Vache Bleue Galleries saw the soft launch of Max Branning actor Jake Wood’s original artwork.
The evening, hosted by gallery owners Olesya and Steve Bean, also put pieces by acclaimed artists Sophia Chalklen and One Life 183 (Kelvin Wise) into the spotlight.
Special guest Ray Winstone – star of Sexy Beast, Robin of Sherwood and Nil by Mouth – became the proud owner of Jake’s original piece ‘Becoming Winston’.
Vache Bleue Galleries, a family-run gallery in The Maltings Shopping Centre, prides itself on curating unique art experiences.
Owner Olesya Bean shared the vision behind the event: “We wanted to create an evening where nature, scent, and visual art converge in a one-of-a-kind collaboration—giving guests the chance to experience exceptional artworks and meet the artists behind them.”
All three exhibitions will run until May 8, with signed prints available to buy.
