So Saturday we went to the Talbott street art fair, it is one of the very few free art fairs left around here. It was fantastic as usual, almost 300 artists and craftsmen and women. Last year I picked up a few glass pieces, sadly I didn't pick up anything this year, although there was a ton of stuff I wanted. So for the next bunch of posts I'm going to go through some of the artists of the Talbot
The weather's a bit more stable, the sun is shining and tourists are coming to visit.Yesterday was my first art fair since Christmas. I was in Downtown San Clemente on Del Mar Street at the Village Art Fair, and I had an absolutely splendid day! I was in my new "permanent" location, (111 Del Mar, in front of Billy's Deli) - which I am thrilled to have (Thank you, Colby!) -- and while I'll miss m

After we finished up at the Whole Bead Show, we met up with one of my high school cronies, Alba Lamar, and headed over to the Pulse Contemporary Art Fair. Since I've been working so much, I haven't had an opportunity to go to the galleries very much. So it was nice to see a great deal of work concentrated in one area. It was also nice to see works from galleries outside of New York. The big

I just found out about the inaugural Asian Contemporary Art Fair that will be happening at Pier 92 here in New York City. It'll be open from Thursday, November 8th to Monday November 12th. It'll be interesting to see the direct and indirect influences of Western culture on what will be shown and how they show it. It'll be interesting to explore the fair and really get a vibe for what is
Last Sunday I went to the London Art Fair. It was really buzzing! It had galleries on three floors, used all the available space in the Business Design Centre in Islington and was absolutely packed with people looking at art with their wallets at the ready!The Fair comprises most (if not all) the leading galleries from Cork Street, Old Bond Street (eg Browse and Darby, Messums, Agnews, ) and beyond (eg the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro) and included some, such as The Fine Art Partnership, which don't have a physical gallery but rather trade exclusively in the original works of art on paper through the internet and select fairs.It exhibits and sells the sort of contemporary art which gets into the leading galleries - as well as established Masters who are already in Museums - with an emphasis on paintings and original prints although sculpture was well represented. (Maybe a bit more Lucien Freud than Damen Hirst?) Bottom line though it meant that the prices of much the original
Yesterday I went down to the London Art Fair in Islington. I've been going every year for quite a long time as it's a great chance to see lots of contemporary art in one place.Over 100 leading UK galleries take part with stands showing their best artists. You can see the Scottish Galleries, Welsh, Cornish ......... from all over the country - all under one roof.It's a chance to see work by favourite artists and discover new ones. Amongst those I'd come across and liked before was Paul Emsley - http://www.paulemsley.co.uk/ - who does very large charcoal drawings that are superb, subtle pieces.Another was Kurt Jackson with some wonderful seascapes on show with the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro and Messums from Cork Street in London. There is a link to his website in the list at the bottom of the screen on the right. Others I like such as Len Tabner, Peter Prendergast, Kyffin Williams, Barbara Rae and Lucian Freud were represented - all are worth googling for stunning work. John Brown
The London Art Fair starts today. I've been going down to see it with friends for a good few years now and it's usually really interesting.Top galleries from all over the UK have stands and it's a chance to see a very wide range of contemporary art - everything from conceptual to graphic to photorealist to abstract and everything in between. This is the Edgar Modern stand a couple of years ago from their site.One artist I always look for is Barbara Rae - she's usually represented by a large glowing painting that sings out when you look down from the mezzanine floor above. She's a Scottish painter who is a real colourist, showing the ongoing influence of the Scottish Colourists in Scottish painting.Barbara Rae:I'm planning to go at the weekend with friends.It's a great chance to see some of the best contemporary painting, from all over the country, in one place.Islington (where the exhibition is) has a good gallery as well - The Hart Gallery. In recent years I've been lucky and
