The Collective

Art Upstairs will be making the journey from Devon, representing a talented roster of female artists from the ‘New Atlantic Wave’ movement. From Natasha Quarmby’s abstract seascapes to never-before-seen ceramics by Sandy Brown and Merlyn Chesterman’s gorgeous prints, there’s so much to discover.

Merlyn’s woodblock print series ‘Slab’ is a must-see and will be shown exclusively at the fair. Her previous artwork, ‘A Sapphire Sea,’ sold out within the first week of this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, so act quickly to secure your favourite pieces!

“We’re excited to show artwork by our roster of ‘New Atlantic Wave’ artists for the first time, bringing attention to this new rural and coastal creative community.”

Colour Kings

A world of technicolour awaits you at the fair! First timers C Art Company are joining us from South Korea, introducing five new artists. Explore Shin Jeung Jang’s exquisite abstract paintings and Jin Goo Yu’s unique blend of traditional Korean and contemporary techniques. Yu starts by painting acrylic onto wooden panels and then meticulously arranges mother-of-pearl pieces, a process that can take months.

AZART Gallery will make their debut with a striking selection of abstract art that is sure to add a touch of colour to your art collection. Explore Manaz Raiszadeh’s bright landscapes, imbued with an architectural edge reminiscent of well-worn street art scenes. Her intuitive style combines acrylic paint, oil pastels, paper collage, and an array of other mediums, infusing depth and texture into each piece. Also on AZART’s stand is the brilliant Fara Thomas, whose reflective surfaces function as abstract mirrors, playing with the viewers sense of space and perspective.

Gallery Ritter is a must-see this autumn, bringing a trio of unique and playful artists from Munich, Germany. Among their roster is Daniel Engelberg, who creates captivating three-dimensional masterpieces. Also on show are sculptures by gallerist Isabel Ritter, including ‘Zitronenschale N°3’, an incredibly lifelike lemon with a twist – it’s much heavier than you expect! Isabelle casts her fruit sculptures in bronze before meticulously painting the surface with fine acrylic paint.

“Daniel Engelberg’s innovative wall objects are a must see. His extraordinary techniques as well as the three-dimensional effects are something very special.”

Unusual Shapes and Materials

Traveling all the way from South Africa, AITY Gallery will be showing work by twelve artists at the fair. Among their roster, you’ll find fantastic textural works by Tarien Bruwer, as well as wonderful sculptures by Beth Blackburn, echoing the natural curves and tones of nature, and beautiful textile pieces by Lerato Motau.

“Look out for Amy-Leigh Bird. Her pieces are timelessly captivating and possess a curious archaeological essence.”

Tom Cox Gallery

South London Tom Cox Gallery will be bringing work from a variety of exciting contemporary artists, including prints with a poetic flair by Vic Lee and elegant linocuts by Ellen Von Wiegand. Don’t miss Amy-Leigh Bird’s work inspired by ‘Mudlarking,’ the practice of collecting various natural objects such as bones and shells from the foreshores of rivers and beaches. Her pieces possess a timeless, archaeological style that finds beauty in the overlooked and ubiquitous.

Long & Ryle is renowned for introducing distinctive contemporary art from established British and international artists, as well as young and emerging talent. Visit their stand to discover enchanting paintings by Kate Montgomery, which explore female creativity and desire, as well as captivating sculptures by Katharine Morling – amongst so much more!

Masters of Ink

International gallery Fan Art is based in London and Hong Kong. Amongst their artists, they’ll be presenting an enchanting collection of original ink paintings by Fan Lee at the fair, including many affordable options priced under £500. Lee has a distinctive ink style, with subtle brush strokes that convey the grandeur of nature and landscapes, blending eastern and western aesthetics beautifully.

Artists in Taiwan will be giving you the opportunity to discover brilliant artists Bi-Lan Chang, Lampo Leong, and Chun-Chia Huang, whose work will travel all the way from Taiwan! Be sure to take a moment to admire artworks by Fung Lee Lick, an ink and mixed media artist who responds to contemporary issues of identity and history through his practice. To Fung, calligraphy is a genre of its own, clearly distinct from drawing or typeface designs.
