New Artist Fair
Looking forward to showing a few paintings at the New Artist Fair. This will be at the Candid Arts Galleries in Islington, from the 23rd-26th February..and will be an affordable and friendly gallery environment.
It looks like there'll be a lot of exciting art work there from new and emerging artists.
Here's what the organisers have to say about the fair;
"As an artist-run organisation, the New Artist Fair gives artists back the power over how their art is promoted and sold, by cutting out gallery fees.
We promote all artists who are looking to sell their work directly to art lovers, buyers, and collectors.
Our goal is to make selling artwork directly to buyers easier and more cost-effective for artists and we promote a varied mixture of artworks at prices from £50 to £1000. We exhibit good quality, affordable art to a wide range of buyers and encourage people to invest in art while supporting new talented artists. "

I'm now working on 'Jive' - the figures are smaller than I usually do them - as my main interest with this piece is in capturing the whole scene of the night - the mood, lighting and perspective of the moment is what I want to achieve here.
Here are some sketches for Jive below;
Also in progress is a smaller version of Balloon, see below;

Wilhem Sasnal at The Whitechapel
Wilhem Sasnal is a Polish artist, whose work echoes that of Gerhard Richter. I recently went to his show at The Whitechapel and was very impressed.
Born in 1972, Sasnal helped form a Krakow-based artist collective known as the Ladnie ("pretty") group. They reacted to the classic and conservative techniques of their instructors at art school, choosing to focus on everyday scenes and images from pop culture.
He draws no limits as to what he paints - everyday objects, portraits of historical figures, views of his home town Cracow, photos of friends and family and sometimes just images from the internet that inspire him.
His paintings are bold and graphic in style – using a lot of neutral grey tones, mixed with one or two colours. What I like most about his work is the texture of the paint and his many different ways of applying it, his use of light and the fact that his paintings look so simple, though they are not at all.
Here’s some of my favourite pieces from the exhibition;
