London Art Fair
This Wednesday past the DDA obtained free tickets to the opening of the London Art Fair. The art fair gathered 100 art galleries from all over UK under one roof.
With an Italian friend, the DDA discovered interesting art pieces that inspires and also makes her marvel. One of the artist that's left a strong impression happens to be Italian. Alessandro Papetti. The first contact was with one of his painting of a street scape, not an ordinary street scape, but a street scape that captures motion. The second was a pool scene, which yet again captured the simple object of a person in a pool, the motion, the light, the object's movements were cleverly captured in an almost photographic manner.
Here are some of his art pieces at the De Twee Pauwen gallery. There's also a much detailed Biography on him from the Everard Read gallery.
Marjukka Vainio is the second artist that has made a strong impression in the DDA's mind. Her pieces are exhibited by the Nordic ArtWorks. Her medium is photography, and her objects of study are flowers, plants, and roots. The DDA found her work intriguing, especially pieces titled Tuomi 1, French Tulip, Viburnum Diptych. The simplistic composition and objects are cleverly captured with minimal colours or sometimes none. Yet her presentation techniques gives the final piece a dramatic effect.
The DDA is no art connoisseur, but these are her observations of the art works that's captured the artistic side of her. It was an inspiring evening filled with discovery, and catching up her Italian friend Stef.
Since that we're on about art, let's also get introduced to a colleague of the DDA's who is pursuing his photographic career whilst busy working full time with a publisher and being a father of 4. Julian Dams is preparing for an exhibition sometime this year. Look out for updates of the exhibition date on his website!
