Saturday, March 12 saw the Clive Sawyer Gallery move from its former premises at 103A High Street to the stunning new open plan gallery at 87 High Street, where the opening ceremony took place. The building was formally occupied by the Edinburgh Woollen Mill and after a long and detailed programme of renovation and refurbishment, the gallery occupies a much more prominent position on the High Street.
Clive Sawyer really needs no formal introduction. He has been providing his discerning clients with high-end fine art photographs since 2008, however, unlike many competitors, his works are only available in limited editions.
In his early years, he would happily sell many of his photographs in limited editions of 100 or less but over the years he limited the editions to just 10.
He has now decided to limit many of his new image creations to just one print on different mediums including aluminium, canvas, framed prints on A2, A3+, and A4 fine art paper and Di-bond.
In all cases other than for A4 prints, a certificate of authenticity will accompany the artwork, each piece is signed and numbered which also adds to the provenance and collectability.
Clive has come a very long way in a relatively short time, this is now his third premises in central Rye having grown from his early beginnings in Landgate, then to 103A High Street and finally to his new ‘box seat’ location at 87 High Street. We wish him every success in his new home, this is yet another example of a resilient Rye-based business which has expanded and invested at a time when many other businesses have had to call time.
Private viewings are most welcome, you can call Clive on 07738 715354 to arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet. If you wish to purchase a print from his website you will need to contact him by email, clive@just-one.gallery, phone or by text message quoting the image code and then complete your purchase and requirements regarding size, price, payment, and delivery.

I’ll take a print of the naked men in the right side window. It’s a classic that will always remind me of a couple of old Rye locals (who shall remain nameless otherwise I’ll never get this comment printed).
