London Art Fair
18th January-23rd January
This year’s London Art Fair is the biggest yet, bringing together the finest modern and contemporary artworks from 31 US, Europe and Britain. Likewise, Art Project and Photo50 will engage viewers with projects, notable for the current economic state and conceptual art.
It is the 23rd year for the London Art Fair with visual art experts presenting guided tours, talks and discussions about the artworks on show. Look out for the outstanding works by Glaswegian art collective duo littlewhitehead and Lisa Barnard’s documentary photography series ‘Maggie’ - taken from Barnard’s current series 32 Smiths Square are discarded snapshots of Margaret Thatcher after she became Prime Minister.
Each of the galleries’ spaces embodies a vision, where emotions, journeys and stories merge. The sculptures by Rachel Schwalm generate a vibe that haunts every viewer. While very figurative and conceptual artist, Anthony Green, reflects the inspiration he gets from everyday life. Lynn Chadwick’s solid sculptures magnetize with its expressive and refined shapes. Then again Katharine Morling’s miniature collection reflects Alice in Wonderland narrative in a pure and untainted way.
A contemporary photography showcase Photo50 features 50 works, all for sale, by nine established artists. Each artwork is nominated for its unique context, focusing on identity, landscape and popular culture. Besides photography, Art Project’s key characteristics and concepts are remarkable installations, which often vary in the use of mediums.
Go for little wander down yourself, The London Art Fair runs until the 23rd January at the Business Design Centre in Islington. For more info go to www.londonartfair.co.uk
