Wow, what a week we had at our Battersea Autumn Fair! We want to relive it all again, but for now we will console ourselves with our #artworkoftheweek, 'Beyond the Wind II' by Peter Wileman of Lime Tree Gallery @limetreegallery. We love the colour palette of this landscape and how the artist captures the changing effects of light. It makes perfect viewing for a cosy autumnal afternoon.

Pace onwards to the far end of the aisle to see metallic roundels and liquidy abstract paintings at George Thornton Gallery @georgethorntonart (Stand L9).

Take a first look at Fluid Form, a new immersive installation at Battersea Autumn until 24 October (link in bio for tickets) commissioned by Official Drinks Partner, @martinmillersgin.
The very nature of water is constant transformation. The slightest intervention impacts its stasis -yet it always returns to stillness... This was the inspiration for artists Violeta Maya (@violetamaya_ ) and Persiis Hajiyanni (@persiis ) when developing the concept for Fluid Form. Through the installation, you are invited to enter a quiet space of tranquility and introspection, where you can observe and tune in with the slow process of transformation. The sculptures – made of hand-blown glass and supported by metal frames – sit below volumes of ice. While the ice is melting and becoming water the light reflects the process of transformation throughout the space.
It was this experiential activation of the concept of transformation that led Martin Miller’s Gin to select Fluid Form from a panel of open call applicants. Martin Miller’s Gin employs the purest Icelandic water to transform its two distillations into the most awarded gin brand since 2004. Therefore, ‘Fluid Form’ depicts perfectly the process of transformation at its heart.
