The Art Of Parties
January 28, 2007

Well, after saying I'd try and include artists I saw at the London Art Fair in each post. I haven't got round to writing any until now. Amongst the distractions was a trip to Surrey to the Gallery-One Private View of Ronnie Wood paintings. For which I must say a huge thanks to Marian and Co for their hospitality.. and tolerance of us Londoner's who didn't buy a thing but had plenty of the champagne and canapes!

Unfortunately, RW wasn't present himself and we had to make do with Mike Read and Kid Jensen as the "celebs". Erm, ask your parents kids!

Also went back to Volume on Friday, as it ends today, and was disappointed to find there were big queues, time limits to look at the installation... and some interpretive dance we had to endure, before we could get up close and personal with the lights again. That's the trouble with stuff being popular I guess.

Other distractions this week have included Lucy's Birthday lunch, which we had to rush in order to get Jake to Fulham in time to be ball boy at Saturdays 4th Round FA Cup tie with Stoke City. Which was shame really as the food at Il Pagliaccio was really good and you can't do a plate of Gnocchi justice in 15 minutes. Best beef carpaccio I've had for a few years I must say.

So... those artists then! Firstly, two artist represented, at LAF, by the Ingleby Gallery.

Ian Davenport. I should already know his work I guess. He was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1991 and was one of a group of young artists who maintained the tradition of abstract paintings during the late 80s/early 90s. Working with paint, which has been allowed to drip and flow but with a degree of control exerted over it, Davenport says 'The structure of the painting is formed by the paint running into itself. Each of my paintings has evolved from a very deliberate process, not from intuitive marking'.

Garry Fabian Miller. Since the mid eighties he has made essentially abstract photography without camera or film, exploring the possibilities of image making with light itself. There were a few artists that work with light represented this year, including the Carter's of course.
