The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café is a new cultural hub to promote queer and gay fine art photography, as part of their wider BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! programme, and as such it is the first fine art photography gallery dedicated to queer and gay photography.
The launch exhibition
Artworks are by AdeY, Yves de Brabander, Mathias Chaillot, Alexander Courtman, Alessandro Pollio, Michael Søndergaard, and Tyler Udall.
“We’re trying to create a friendly, welcoming environment where people can enjoy visiting and get a cup of coffee or glass of wine while picking up a copy of our latest BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Magazine, book, zine or artwork, whilst chatting to our friendly front-of-house team”.
Ghislain Pascal
A must-see new queer London venue
The gallery café is the vision of Ghislain Pascal, implemented and designed by Alison Henry Design. If you want to visit, shop and hang out. It has walnut-panelled walls, a pink onyx marble bar and table tops, an Italian marble mosaic floor, and a neon window sign designed by Cig Harvey. The playlist for the gallery has been curated by Virgin Radio DJ and podcaster Graeme Smith.
Fabulous Christmas gifts for the “man who has everything” in your life!
Promoting queer and gay fine art photography, BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! includes exhibitions (items for sale), books, the bi-annual magazine, zines, photography courses and portfolio reviews, and the main online art platform.
BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! is a programme started by The Little Black Gallery in 2018, curated by co-founder Ghislain Pascal, to promote queer and gay fine art photography. The gallery represents more than 78 photographers from 33 countries – including China, India, Iran, Kenya, Poland and Russia where gay rights are repressed and queer lives are under constant threat. The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS Programme
Every Wednesday night, a leading member of our community will give a talk. The autumn/winter schedule includes some fantastic speakers, including Ben Spriggs, the Editor in Chief of Elle Decoration; Joseph Galliano-Doig MBE, the co-founder and CEO of Queer Britain, the UK’s first queer museum; and ceramicist William Martin.

The gallery café beverages
The café will exclusively serve its own BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Wine – red, white, rosé, and sparkling.
