When Sammi Mak’s work ‘Norwegian Wood’ went on display at the Unveil exhibition in Club Row London, it provoked a conversation on Haruki Murakami’s novel of that name.

Congratulations to Charlie Yates whose painting ‘Safari Lodge’ has recently been sold in the Gilson Grey Gracy Gala event in an auction which raised an amazing £121k for both Edinburgh and Glasgow Children’s hospital.

Selena Scott goes on display today at Cambridge Artworks as part of a show for Black History Month. She’s also showing in east London at the moment, at Genesis Cinema.

James Turrell, who is currently building an installation in a volcanic crater in the Arizona desert, had his LED work Incantation on display at Frieze this year.

The annual Frieze Art Fair, a major exhibition in Regent’s Park London, is a cross-section of contemporary art, with a myriad of galleries present in their booths, showcasing a selection of the work they’re currently representing. As a gallery that has applied the principles of a boutique physical gallery to the online sphere, taking a look at what’s on display makes for an interesting time.

This major exhibition “offers an unparalleled opportunity for the interior design community to discover exquisite creations from a range of international exhibitors.”

Charlotte Brisland, a Master Artist, has just been showing at Thompson’s gallery in London. As well as maintaining her practice as a painter Charlotte works as a Fine Art painting lecturer at Aberystwyth University.

Lorena Levi and Adam Boyd are both Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022.

Bloomberg New Contemporaries has highlighted the work of such luminaries past and present as Chris Ofili, Frank Auerbach, Paula Rego, David Hockney, and Lynette Yuadom-Boakye.

The sea is Sax Impey’s subject as sailor and artist: not one it’s possible to capture, only evoke. You can sense the joy as he grapples with it in his work. 

The rigour of Sax’s process – going out onto the ocean in his capacity as a sailor – opens his work to an intensity of experience: available to an artist who paints the sea from the sea, not from the safety of land.

An imprint, an outline, an impression: artists create from the past and for it. There tends to be another kind of space for memory in summer – time spent outdoors, travelling, exploring: food for reflection in the colder months. 

Olivia embodies the essential nature of community in the world of art without pretence. She is an art lover with endless capacity for care and compassion..
