The Other Art Fair – Stand 115

So, here it is the first day at the Other Art Fair, and I must say it has been quite an experience for me. It is so complimentary to be chosen amongst such a high standard of talent.

The reviews we are getting as a body of artists is immense – please visit Spoonfed (with a special mention of my work), Dazed Digital, Londonist, Artlyst and my good friend Alistair Guy’s blog to name a few. 

Also FAD released a video on the Boxpark pre-launch with a quick feature of my skull poster – please visit FAD website 

I am also so grateful for the support I have received from SEE enterprise of the University of Arts, London and retail design agency Sheridan & Co who made it all possible for me to participate and make my stall look so vibrant. And…of course the support and encouragement I have received from friends, family and well wishers. 

Hope you enjoy the photos – and come visit, the fair closes on Sunday!

 

THE OTHER ART FAIR pre-fair launch at Boxpark, Shoreditch

It was a very cold evening yesterday (and the choice of a wrong outfit) but a lovely  one nonetheless. The Other Art Fair in collaboration with Mark Westwall’s FAD website hosted a pre-fair party and keeping with the theme of the fair, featured 14 artists’ work, the skull included – I’m so proud! It was so nice to have some friends there enjoying the moment with me. Some photos taken by my friend Piper Almeida..

Thank you for all your support – see you at the other art fair at P3 Ambika Space (campus of the University of Westminster) Marylebone, NW1 from May 10-13 2012.

Prints on patterns – available at The Other Art Fair

I will also have on display selected one-off prints from my archive of art, produced on actual Savile Row tailoring dead man’s patterns..The collection of drawings are from previous projects along with new works; I have chosen my favourite ones. Although the artwork is a print – it stands as an original because the tailors actual markings, scribbles and lines become part of the overall print, something I would never be able to reproduce. Hope you enjoy them here and see them in real on Stand 115 at The Other Art Fair, P3 Ambika Space, Marylebone Road, NW1 between the 10th – 13th May 2012.

Interview with Tina Bernstein from Colourliving

I was so happy when Tina Bernstein requested an interview. I met Tina at the “pattern collage” workshop hosted by Jotta. I was very happy to welcome her in my studio where she fired questions waiting patiently for me to answer and I think she has taken some wonderful photos of my work.

Thank you Tina x

Anatomical study – Cut-outs works to be exhibited at the other art fair

I am really pleased to reveal that this new body of work will be exhibited on my stall at The Other Art Fair which takes place on the 10th – 13th of May.

The idea behind this series of 10-12 works were to explore what happens if bodies are not buried, cremated or burnt? My response is Science.

I cut various parts of the dead man’s tailoring patterns; focusing on darts and lines chalked/penciled by the cutter into A4 dimension sheets. Maclise’s 1857 dissected Victorian surgery anatomical study were then turned into pop-art vector based drawings and printed around the dart areas referencing the action of slicing – like a surgeon would into a body and a cutter would into cloth.

It is also important to highlight that the original marks of the tailor becomes an integral part of the artwork.
