Swoon & Peter Blake

There was a fantastic article about the much under rated American artist SWOON , this week in the Sunday Times.  Also in the Sunday Times was an article about the lasting love of " Alice in Wonderland" and the image chosen for the article was a Peter Blake we have for sale.  - SO a good week in the media - IF any clients missed the articles & want a copy let me know & I'll see if I have a spare.

Dog Danger & Good News

I am deligted to be able to let you know that the incredible artist , SWOON   who has already shown in  useums all over Europe & USA , is going to have 6-8 pages in The Sunday Times soon & also , will be the first ever artist to be on the cover of every Time Out magazine . In the past every city has had its own localised cover.

We are busy in the gallery with clients buying her work , from £375 for a great print MEDUSA to the unique pieces on wood.

I am frameing some beautiful colourful spin paintings by Rose Popay , who for many years did spin paintings in Damien Hirst's studio , to make sure there is no confusion they are cearly signed by her AND stamped H2H - Homage to Hirst.

With the financial troubles deepening , inflation at 5.2% ( you try getting that after tax on your savings) more clients are buying as a hedge against inflation and new clients are coming every day.

Life is very good at the moment .

Have a good weekend

AMAZING week

I had the pleasure of meeting a fantastic artist , Ben Eine for the first time at his studio recently . I had bumped into him a couple of times in London galleries without knowing it was him but now we know each other he is working on a commission for a client and it will be the first time ever he has done an alphabet in lower case.  

THEN , at the weekend I was part of a BBC Documentary about another artist we show in my gallery who will be featured next March / April on BBC 1 .

AND next week I’m being filmed with one of the Damien Hirst “IN a Spin” portfolio boxes for the discovery channel which will go out worldwide .

Interest seems to be building in art every day.

I heard about an incredible exhibition of art ( even a knitted bird) drawing ( no pun) attention to the 200 species man has made extinct & all the other species threatened by us. The show has over 70  Ralph Steadman pictures and starts a world tour in a school in East London. Must find it & go.

Another great show at the moment is the Joseph Herman at the Ben Uri gallery,
