Sep 20, Sunday - 20/21 British Art Fair

Art:
This is annual British Art Fair showcasing exclusively contemporary British artists. Two galleries I particularly liked was Rebecca Hossack Gallery and Portal Gallery.

Rebecca Hossack Gallery:
I was drawn to this gallery first by the wide range of art works representing different styles. Then by their somehow harmonious connection between all the works displayed. They are all touching a sensitive humane part of me. I really admired the acute eyes the Rebecca has. Rebecca noticed my pondering eyes and invited me to the next art fair at Art London (http://www.artlondon.net/).

Portal Gallery:

Representing the finest Idiosyncratic paintings. Idiosyncratic: peculiar, quirky. In the context of paintings, they often have some surreal, foolish and sometimes humourous characteristics. The paintings below speak for themselves.

Business and China:
Art fair is a very mature trade platforms of art collectors and dealers. I am not going to delve into the specifics here. Will come back after doing some research. Similarly, there are many art fairs in China, especially recent years. I am going to study the differences in terms of sponsorship, running, participants breakdown and sales.
