So, we dropped in on Moniker Art Fair tonight, and I have to say thats the nicest and coolest Art Fair experience going, great vibe, the best urban art I've seen for a long time, friendly face... great to finally meet the Carmichaels & to chat with the lovely Jasmine & Falk of Herakut.
Big props to Frankie Shea for co-organising and ta for putting up 'Haunt' my flag on the Campbarbossa stand! Haunt has a new framing stylee- white background instead of the usual black. I took abit of convincing but it does looks pretty nice, so maybe I'll get afew more framed in white in the future.
The opening night was busy, heaving with the London Shoreditch cool sipping on the sparkling pink vino and having very engaging chats. With stunning art throughout, the Project spaces by Herakut and Polly Morgan were a particular highlight for me. Good to see some of the Art Star artists around too; the brilliant Matt Small had a wicked piece in Black Rat & Stefan Strumbel's clock was a nice treat.
Moniker is a perfect start to Art Fair season, check out the programme over the weekend...
