Osner Gallery, Hout Bay

Art Services in Cape Town

We help you choose the right art for your home, office or project, show it on your own wall before you decide, and then frame it, deliver it and hang it. The artists run the gallery, so the advice comes from the people who make the work.

What we do

From the first idea to the work on your wall

Use one service or all of them. Most clients start with advice or a free preview and let us take care of the rest.

Art advice for your space

For a home or an office, a new space or one that needs freshening up. We help you choose, group, light and display the work, and make good use of art you already own.

Ask for advice

A free art preview

Send a photo of your wall and we show you how the artwork will look there, at the right size and with a suggested frame, before you decide.

How the preview works

Commissions

Martin Osner and Samantha Lee Osner create commissioned work in painting, mixed media and photography, at any scale. Every commission starts with a conversation about the space.

Picture framing

Our own framing workshop is in the gallery building, so the work you choose can be framed before it leaves.
