We attended the 20|21 International Art Fair at London’s Royal College of Art. There was a really exciting mix of both galleries exhibiting artists from Picasso to Henry Moore alongside younger, more emerging artists. With over 60 galleries presenting their collections there was an incredible selection of works of art, we’ve chosen a few of our favourite pieces from the fair to share with you.
Rebecca Hossack Gallery had works by printmaker Phil Shaw on display. His Bookshelf series capitalises on the new possibilities of digital printmaking. Shaw photographs each book separately, before digitally re-shelving them as a collection in a beautiful monochromatic or colour graded order. The titles are all thematically grouped and one work that caught our eye was based around London tube stops, the title of each book containing a tube location.
Long & Ryle Gallery were exhibiting several artists that caught our eye. John Monks’ paintings of interiors and landscapes have almost abstract elements with their blurred lines and colours.
Long & Ryle Gallery were also showcasing Katherine Morling’s intriguing sculptural pieces. These intricately cast pieces are all taken from her personal narrative and personal objects, placed in these cabinets they become precious and memorialize.
Sue Campion's pastel landscapes at The Russell Gallery's display also caught our attention. Some of more colourful works are reminiscent of David Hockney's colour blocked landscapes.
