HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here we are in the first weeks of the new year and we are proud to announce the launch of CALMER SEAS, a new hand painted Bronze Resin Limited Edition Sculpture by our highly talented Jonathan Hatelely. We are excited to be taking this stunning new piece with us to international Art Fairs in 2024.

AAF Singapore was a wonderful Art Fair for all our artists and Jacob and I enjoyed a hard working but fun week in Singapore.

We have a full programme for all our followers in 2024 so keep an eye on our 2024 Exhibition Programme and all the wonderful work on our website that you can purchase by a click of a button!!…

On Sunday 5 November Jacob and I fly out to Singapore to exhibit a wonderful selection of our artists on Stand 2A-06 in the F1 Pit Building in Singapore from 9 – 12 November. We have been exhibiting at this wonderful art fair since its launch over 12 years ago. If you would like to visit us there, please email us for complimentary online ticket links.

October has just flown by and last week’s AAF Autumn Fair in Battersea Park is now just a fond memory! Thank you to all our wonderful customers old and new who flocked to our Stand E2, in the Evolution Marquee in the Park. There was hardly anything left on our Stand walls on the final afternoon and we were so grateful for all the wonderful compliments about the look and standard of art on our Stand. We look forward to returning next March 2024 with our selection of Emerging Artists on the BANG – Next Generation Stand where Jacob will be curating and showcasing a selection of young talented early career artists for you to all enjoy! See you then!…

We are delighted to welcome Chloe McCarrick to our team of talented and innovative artists. Chloe is an internationally recognised fine art photographer and mixed-media printmaker. From her London studio and darkroom, she creates bespoke, original and limited edition prints and gifts.

Best known for her circular cyanotypes, Chloe embraces and develops innovative ways of reworking photographic images through collage and mixed-media print techniques, and by blending science, darkroom alchemy and art.

“I hope people are empowered by the story behind each piece and that the subject matter ignites imaginations and a curiosity to delve deeper.”

The work explores the boundless possibilities of image production in the age of modern printmaking with an aim to reinvent, recycle, redefine, experiment and preserve.
Female empowerment, natural history and science are recurring themes across the work, constructing visual narratives from the lives of extraordinary, trailblazing women – celebrating their achievements, uncovering their struggles and telling the stories of these often unsung heroes.
“The key emotion is to feel connected – connected to the story, the techniques and the science behind the work, and to be connected to the elements of nature I introduce to explore human experience and the relationship between each of us, and the world we live in.”

Chloe McCarrick regularly exhibits internationally, appearing at the prestigious Salon De Beaux Arts in Paris, The Affordable Art Fair in London and New York, and The Other Art Fair, curated by Saatchi Art, in London and Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas.…

We are delighted to announce that Fiona Parkinson is joining our team of innovative artists this Spring.

Fiona’s childhood took her from Yorkshire to South Africa and back again to an unsettled life on the North East coast of England. Throughout this upbringing, her interest in expressing herself through art became a constant, may be even a requirement, and as soon as she was able, she continued to explore this passion in further education.

She graduated in 2015 with a first class Batchelor’s degree and was then awarded a Master’s degree with distinction whilst collecting the College of Arts Award at Lincoln University. She has exhibited across the UK, Europe and US and has been featured by the media, appearing a number of times on BBC radio.

Her art diverged from what may be considered more mainstream techniques early in her studies with a chance introduction to butterflies.

Since graduating and moving to her studio in Stratford on Avon her work has continued to explore contradictions in our experience of the world including beauty and fragility, fear and love, and life and death. Her unique techniques fuse modern technology with ancient methods to producing striking images which evoke fascination and emotion in equal measure.

ARTISTS STATEMENT
“My techniques combine traditional methods of preservation with modern tools and technology to create beautiful pieces of artwork that can equally inspire emotion and wonder. Given the variation in every specimen, each piece is unique and is hand crafted by me in my studio or the lab.
