The White Room Gallery is celebrating its sixth anniversary with an exhibition of work by British artist Victor Pasmore.
Since The White Room opened in Regent Street in 2002 the gallery has displayed works by a number of artists including Salvador Dali and David Hockney.
John Gilks, the gallery's owner, said: "I decided on my first visit to the town that I would live and work there one day.
"The people of Leamington showed their support and in the time we have been here many of our customers have become close friends."
'Victor Pasmore: A Centenary Celebration' commemorates the centenary year of the renowned abstract-artist's birth in 1908.
The majority of the prints were made after he moved to Malta and reflect the colour and vibrancy of the Mediterranean. A number of more unusual black and white prints are also on display.
The exhibition will run until October 1.
