London Fashion Week
England’s longest running fashion week in London has been a fantastic showcase in immense fashion by the International Art Fair. The art fair begins on the 8th of October and is run in a 72000 square metered group of marquees. Art London, sponsored by the Amber Foundation which aids people with no homes, unemployed, showcases the world’s leading art galleries in terrific fashion. The expo itself will admit will embrace painting, picture taking, works on paper, ceramics and glass, with new exhibitors to the fair including the Connoisseur Art Gallery from Hong Kong and the Blue Leaf Gallery from Dublin. All art on show is not for sale to the public but will be there for everyone to look at and admire.
An unusual interactive highlight will be the Thirteen Langton Street Gallery exhibiting the ‘live’ works of Raphael Thierry. Thierry expands on his previous work to create some truly excellent pieces in front of audiences who are then invited to destroy the works so that Thierry can start all over again. Thierry has also performed in front of live audiences in Paris, Rome and London. The man is just a pure genius when it comes to creating something truly unique and special for everyone to see. There is a lot of positive things this artist can offer the art community. When you think that the whole event is inside a group of party marquees that art show will be under heavy security to make sure that no pieces of art get stolen or pinched as the gallery has experienced similar problems in the past. The ticket prices vary from £12 for one person to £18 for two people and it includes an illustrated catalogue for you to reference. Tickets can be purchased on the door or over the web at the usual places. This is a fantastic event and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on it, so go along and have a good look around.
