The UK’s longest running fashion week in London has been show cased in tremendous fashion by the International Art Fair. The art fair begins on the 8th of October and is run in a 72000 square metered group of marquees. Art London, sponsored by the Amber Foundation which aids people with no homes, unemployed, showcases the world’s leading art galleries in terrific fashion. The show itself will consist of painting, photography, works on paper, ceramics and glass manufacturing, with new exhibitions to the fair including the Connoisseur Art Gallery from Hong Kong, China and the Blue Leaf Gallery from Dublin. All art on show is not for sale and will be there for everyone to admire and browse.
An unusual interactive highlight will be the Thirteen Langton Street Gallery exhibiting the ‘live’ works of Raphael Thierry. Thierry manages to manipulate creative pieces so well in front of audiences who are then invited to destroy the works so that Thierry can start all over again. Thierry has also performed in front of live audiences in Paris, Rome and London. The man is just a pure genius when it comes to creating something truly unique and special for everyone to see. There is a lot that this artist can offer the art community. When you think that the whole event is inside a group of traditional marquees that art show will be under heavy security to make sure that no pieces of art get stolen or pinched as the gallery has experienced similar problems in the past. The ticket prices vary from £12 for one person to £18 for two people and it includes an illustrated catalogue for you to reference. Tickets can be purchased on the door or over the web at the usual places. This is an event that I would highly recommend attending and I would recommend it to anyone interested in art to go along and have a good old look.
