In all the years I have travelled in and out of Waterloo, I had never been inside the Cello Factory in Cromwell Road, tucked away behind King College London’s student apartments, though I have walked past it to visit the superb nearby cake shop.
It was, as its name says, once a place for making and repairing cellos and other stringed instruments. Today it is a double-height gallery and performance space and this week the whisky was flowing for the opening of this year’s Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation’s initiative to bring a selection of recent graduates from Scottish art schools in London.
In the centre of the room is a loom with weaving in progress by Rhona Jack, a graduate of Duncan Jordanson College of Art and Design, alongside her drawings, linking back to the traditional industries of Dundee, while Camille Bernard, a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art and winner of the 2017 Fleming-Wyford Bursary has developed her style over the last year. Her vibrant work which combines 'fantasy and play, myths and memory' sits like a shrine between two tall windows which throw sunlight across the floor.
On the wall are landscape and floral paintings by Camille Bernard from the Glasgow School of Art, while upstairs, in a gallery reached through a discreet door, are photographs by Craig Waddell, a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art who is already building a reputation for the quality of his portrait photography, and Ben Soedira from the Glasgow School of Art whose work records the complexities and contradictions of fast-changing areas of the Middle East such as Dubai.

The Cello Factory is but a stone's throw from Waterloo station but it is doubtful whether a tiny fraction of its many thousands of commuters know of its existence. Housed in a rather nondescript building at the northern end of Cornwall Street it is a venue for both occasional concerts and art exhibitions. It really comes into its own as the annual venue for the open exhibition of the London Group, an august organisation over a hundred years old many of whose members have numbered amongst this country's greatest artists. They include Albert Irvin who joined in the 1960s, later became a Royal Academician and who died earlier this year at the age of 92 recognised as one of our greatest abstract artists. This exhibition is dedicated to his memory and had one of his last gouaches for sale, for around the £10,000.00 mark. With the possible exception of a video bring shown in an upstairs room (fortunately one can forget its longeurs whilst lounging on a comfy sofa) the standard of exhibits is high. The selection committee clearly has catholic tastes, as there are works in many media, ranging from printmaking and college to watercolour and oil, both figurative and abstract. So there is something here for almost everyone.
