Open Studios in December
was thoroughly successful; we ran out of the stock of mulled cider
at 4pm on the Saturday which was meant to last us through to end-of-play
on Sunday. A number of artists in the building seemed to have productive
chats with galleries and dealers through the weekend and sales were
high.

Emily
Young's show at the Fine
Art Society which ran in December was also a great success with
most of the new works selling within the first few days of the opening.

|
| The London
Art Fair opened on Tuesday and once again a large number of Great
Western artists are featured. In alphabetical order: Douglas Abercrombie,
Jan Coutts, Mary Grant, Sean Henry, Rachel Schwalm, Estelle Thompson,
Felicity Warbrick (pictured). If anyone was more eagle-eyed than I
have been, and spotted GWS artists that I have not listed, please
let me know.
Following the London Art Fair on the cultural fair schedule is
the Watercolours & Drawings Fair which is held at the Royal
Academy of Arts from February 1st to the 4th. Nicholas
Bowlby will be featuring works by Alex Uxbridge at this event.

| Meanwhile in the world of
illustration . . . a new publication by Laurence King, put together
by Pentagram Design and focussing on contemporary illustration features,
not one, not two, but three GWS illustrators: Tommy
Penton, Kate
Gibb and Jo
Ratcliffe - it can be purchased here.
Sticking with illustration, both Jo Ratcliffe and Zakee
Shariff were invited by über-hip Parisian department store
Colette to contribute to their MY2007
project, where various international artists/illustrators were asked
to submit a piece which expressed their view of the forthcoming year. |
