Paintings at the Fair

Here's some of my paintings which are currently on Stand 51 at the London Art Fair.

Watch out for them if you're there!  They're there until Sunday.

London Art Fair

Here's a few photos from the very busy London Art Fair.

This is a view down on to the main hall, showing the stands on the middle section and the upstairs mezzanine level.

Busy!

Here's the exhibition from the Hepworth Wakefield Gallery, with sculpture by Barbara Hepworth and exhibits from Modern British artists.  (You can read more about the Hepworth Gallery in my blog about my visit there last year HERE.)

The centrepiece of the exhibition is Barbara Hepworth's rosewood sculpture Kneeling Figure from 1932, seen below here.

 

The exhibition features a selection of exceptional works drawn from the gallery's collection including pieces by Henry Moore, as seen above in the background.  Also included is an example of Hepworth's stunning Hospital Drawings (below) - you can read more about them in my blog HERE.

As you can see, the fair is well worth a visit, and continues until Sunday.  More information here!

London Art Fair

The first big fair of 2014 starts on Wednesday - yes, we're only just in to January, and already the art year is up and running!

The London Art Fair is housed in the Business and Design Centre in Islington in north London (nearest tube station Angel).  This is the view over the fair from the coffee shop on the upper mezzanine level.  It shows you that there's plenty to explore on the 3 levels.

I've got paintings on Stand 51, Duncan Miller Fine Arts.  Its right at the end of the left hand corridor in the main hall on the middle level, so you get a great view of the paintings as you walk down.

 

The fair runs from 15th-19th January, and this year features an exhibition of Barbara Hepworth and Modern British sculpture from the Hepworth Wakefield Gallery.  There's usually plenty of great quality contemporary work as well as the Scottish Colourists, St Ives school, Bloomsbury Group and Modern British.

Here's some of my work on the stand from a previous fair, being viewed by a lady with exceptionally good taste.

Really looking forward to it!  And if you do go along, why not drop me a line and tell me what you thought of the fair?

Safe Arrival

My paintings have all arrived safely in London - phew!

They're now ready for the first big art fair of 2014, the London Art Fair at the Business and Design Centre in Islington, north London.  It runs from 15-19 January, and, as the first fair of the year,  it is the 'barometer' of the art world. 

 I'm exhibiting on Stand 51, with Duncan R MIller Fine Arts.

As well as the fair having an eclectic mix of famous names and cutting edge, the 2014 Fair will feature a collaboration with award-winning gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield.  Here's the Wakefield from the bridge...

The exhibition, which will focus on Barbara Hepworth and her contemporaries and the development of British Modernism, is very exciting for me.  I'm a big Hepworth fan and have visited the Wakefield/Hepworth Museum/United Nations/St Ives/Yorkshire Sculpture Park/anything Hepworthy on a number of occasions.

This is one of the pieces in the exhibition.
