Meet the team.

Steven Sulley
Founder
I’m beyond proud that Woodbury House was the first UK representative to work with the Richard Hambleton Foundation and of the relationship we have with Blek le Rat.
The art we are able to display and to provide to our collectors is incredible and I feel very privileged to be a part of this world.
But my background isn’t classically art. I didn’t study it throughout my education and it wasn’t ingrained in me from a young age.
I am someone who has discovered street art, just like anyone who walked past it in the 70s and 80s on the streets themselves. I’m excited and moved by it. And this has led me to learn and research and embark on a quest to feed my passion for it.
I’ve gradually become an expert in the field of urban contemporary art, working with UK and international customer networks. And through dedicating my life to raising up the names and works of these historically important artists, I have helped build the Richard Hambleton and the Blek le Rat markets in the UK.
A large part of what I do is helping people either learn more about street art and the particular artists we work with, or helping them find the art to suit them and their virgin or developing collections.
I strongly believe that art shouldn’t be elitist. Street art is for everyone. Art should be for everyone. I speak plainly and openly and I have found that this has led to better relationships than perhaps I could ever imagine with our artists and our collectors.
I fervently hope that anyone interested in street art, whether you’re wanting to invest or wanting to learn, will feel confident to get in touch

Joseph Bannan
Gallery Director
I am excited and passionate about the work we do at Woodbury House. The opportunity to work with true street-art pioneers, doesn’t feel like work.
Street art is the biggest art movement of our generation and I’m convinced that it will only get bigger and more appreciated worldwide as the years progress.
It’s incredible to think that street art was not a genre back in the 70’s; it was considered ‘criminal damage’ and now we have a record set by Jean-Michel Basquiat of $110,500,000 for a single piece of art.
To have the opportunity to be involved in this market, amongst this magnitude of works at Woodbury House is a blessing and something that I am grateful for.
Much like Steven, I don’t have a particularly artistic background. I began my relationship with art as a collector and enthusiast. I was always drawn to street art; the history associated with the movement and the artists’ personal stories really gripped my attention.
Initially a collector, then a dealer and now we act as a private art gallery representing two of the most important street artists in the world. It was they who paved the way for so many others to follow; Richard Hambleton ‘The Godfather of Street Art’ & Blek le Rat ‘The Father of Stencil Art’.
As more stories come to light and bodies of works are unearthed, I experience as much excitement as on the day we first opened the gallery.
I am thrilled to be heading up Woodbury House as Gallery Director and I cannot wait to see what awaits us in the years to come as we continue to disrupt the more traditional art gallery status quo.
I’m always inquisitively searching for more golden nuggets of information about our artists, more art and more people to share my passion and the passion of the artists we represent. I hope to help many more collectors who want to acquire a piece of art for the first time or further advance their collecting portfolios. To help people collect with confidence.
We are collectors first and foremost with a keen passion for whom we choose to work alongside or represent.
Street art is art for anyone, and that is our mantra too: all welcome, anytime, accessible.
Whether you have a collection of the most famous artists in the world, or you have never acquired a piece of art; you’ll get my honest and undivided attention and any support you need.
I hope to see you in the private bar at Woodbury House soon for a beer, wine or a coffee!
