A few words from our clients. See client stories for more.
"I've bought a number of artworks through the Vab Lab, both privately and at exhibition. I've actually run out of wall space and now considering an extension in my home"
Kirsty Jarman
Art Collector
"The Vab Lab first exhibited with us back in 2013, and around that time we realised that they did a lot more than just art. We've now been working together for over 10 years and they provide solutions for a lot of our problems"
Andy McDougal, Owner
EAF Art Fair
"We've bought over 42 artworks from Chas now for over six of our residences, we love them all, some have even doubled in value, but most of all they're a talking point for our clients and guests..."
