We host a varied annual exhibition programme from our base in Aberdeen's West End exhibiting original paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics and glass. We aim to exhibit a range of work and styles, and to foster new graduates giving early career artists the chance to exhibit in a professional space.
The gallery is owned by Craig Thom, an art dealer and restauranteur. He bagan selling original art in 2020 having set up a new restaurant and events venue in the midst of the pandemic. "Faffless" quickly built a reputation for good quality, fuss free, food in a relaxed environment. In 2023 Craig moved the restaurant to a much larger, elegant townhouse on Golden Square.
There he had more space to show original art in the restaurant as well as in the private dining room on the first floor. A series of conversations led to Craig purchasing Gallery Heinzel in Spring 2025.
With exciting plans to host exhibitions at Chattan Place, foster new talent and run art events at Golden Square, the gallery is set to embark on another 35 years bringing quality contemporary and fine art to Aberdeen, Scotland and beyond.
The gallery team comprises Anita Collin, a Duncan of Jordonstone College of Art & Design Interior Design graduate, with Craig Thom at the helm.
