Urban Art Fair 2006
July 23, 2006
 So the sun shone again and though I failed to find anywhere to leave my promotional postcards we saw some great work, an improvement on last year I think, and met some nice artists. Works that caught my eye include...
Sarah Graham, who sold her Charlie Brown painting while were there. Rob, this is one of the artists I was waffling to you about at Trev & Viv's that night. I think you and Kerry would like some of this stuff.
Tina Mammoser, particularly her Tiny Horizons series.
Agamemnon Otero, Landscape's & Flowers. don't think there was any of the stuff there but I prefer the landscapes anyway.
Tom Harper, whose City drawings are indescribably complex and beautiful.
Muna Zuberi, is also a web designer and graphic artist and has a fantastic portfolio of paintings, mainly of iconic musicians, which isn't a particularly unique idea in itself but they are very well executed.
Sarah Sherwood, whose landscapes I prefer when they are slightly abstracted, more than her abstracts actually.
Staffan Gnosspelius, is an illustrator of children's books and printmaker. My mate Chris would love these. I'll send his card up to him I think. Julia and the Triple C is published by AP Watt.
There were a few other artists that I really liked that didn't have web sites. Lena Pankow, who is another artist I thought Kerry and Rob would like, Martin Grover and David Western stand up! Martin and David had a little exhibition [Life In The Bus Lane] on locally, that I missed while we were on holiday, so I was particularly pleased that they were there. That's Martin's work in the photo above, not that you can really see it. A lot of his paintings place Country and Soul icons in South London surroundings. I think I prefer David's Launderette paintings but it's a close run thing.
