Taxidermy, skin and domes

Yesterday was London Art Fair day for me, had a thorough mooch on all the 3 floors with my good old mate from college Nina. Took a whole 5 hours to see all the Fair, 2 coffee breaks and necessitated a stiff drink afterwards.
above • Geza Szollosi • Fox • Taxidermy • Mauger Modern
in background • Pam Glew • Eden • Bleaching on fabric • Mauger Modern

I noted a leaning towards a more subtle pallet in the work on show. Much less shock & awe, more pastel and skin. London art Fair is on 19-23 January

Heres my highlights:

above • Martin C Herbst • Oil and Lacquer on steel ball • Mauger Modern

above • Tessa Farmer • Insects • Vitrines

above • Ione Rucquoi • Second Skin • Ultrachrone on alu-dibond • Bo-lee Gallery, Bath

above • Kelly Ratchford • Vanilla • Jill George Gallery

above • Valeria Nascimento • Pods • Porcelein • Woolf Gallery

Very nice day, although I nearly got into a shouting match with the mini-Hitler-jobsworth-security-nincompoop on the door as i didn't present him with a 'docket' for my purchase. I have a receipt, is that ok? No i am not going back up to the third floor for an f-ing docket. Can I now leave the building please? A strong drink was needed afterwards. You just cant get the staff these days. I recommend that the security men should watch an few episodes of Mary Queen of Shops.

Korea International Art Fair

I have cool news of more far flung cities.

Seoul is hosting the Korea International Art fair, and some of my new work is heading there.
Mauger Modern will be taking part in KIAF and will be showing new work by their artists from 9-13 September.

This will be my first show in Asia, so quite a nice thing for me. Europe -tick, USA - tick, Australia- tick, just need a show in Africa now and I'll have covered all bases!

If you happen to be in Korea and want to see it, more info is here
