October 26, 2009
We were all very tired, with the after effects of last weekends parties and the labours of the week that followed but we headed over to Battersea Park last Thursday for the AAF. I'm not sure the tiredness and free wine did my concentration levels much good but I took a few notes as we wandered around.
For some reason, to me and Sam anyway, this year seemed to be predominantly print orientated. Maybe there are always that many print stands and we haven't really noticed them before.
There was Artichoke, Greenwich Printmakers and Brighton Print Workshop, who all had outstanding works.
Stephen Wassall's Pyrographics on the New British Artists stand impressed me, although we were distracted by the bar opposite!
Panter & Hall had a couple of artists I liked Chris Bushe and Colin Brown
Stephen Walter's Island London Maps on the TAG Fine Arts stand are something that I've seen before but are always a joy to see again.
There were a couple of artists on the Hayloft Gallery stand that caught my eye. Sally Stafford and Jane Dearden
These watercolours by MJForster remind me, a little bit, of those 20's or 30's transport posters for the Great Western Railway. Good though, I like the screen print effect. And I liked Angela Charles' abstracts on the Liberty Gallery stand. Well, I think it was those. I took a card from the stand and they are the most likely to have caught my eye looking at their website!
There were a few overseas galleries that offered a bit of variety too as you do tend to see a lot of work re-appearing every visit. Le Minotaure Gallery - Tel Aviv and Art Master Gallery - Prague
I like the idea of the Open Gallery but I didn't actually see any work there that struck me as a convincing argument for "video painting" but again, it was quite near the bar and I may have been distracted!
