Ready for the Art & Antiques Fair Olympia? Four exhibits to whet your appetite...
The Art & Antiques Fair Olympia is set to return to London this summer in what will be its historic 45th year. Here, we preview four of the exhibits from the thousands of rare pieces that will be on display
Red London by Barbara Macfarlane
Exhibitor: Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery (D21)
Barbara Macfarlane’s works take their form and subject matter from maps, and make of their familiar shapes something startling and new. Red London is painted on stretched linen, with the map form drawn freehand in ink using a stick instead of a brush. This results in more gestural mark-making. Colour is then added in high pigment oil paint. rebeccahossack.com
Lignae table
Exhibitor: Lignae (36)
Based in England, Lignae’s highly skilled craftsmen source rare and original materials to create works of art which offer something exclusive. This piece was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and was designed by Philip Rose – veneered in fumed eucalyptus and white ebony. lignae.co.uk
Serpent Noir by Sonia Delaunay
Exhibitor: Galerie Boccara (G17)
Galerie Boccara is an expert in quality tapestries, silk rugs and bronze sculpture. Serpent Noir by Sonia Delaunay marks the artist’s oscillation between the reinterpretation of ancient objects and the creations of new forms. It creates a pseudo triptych representing the different periods of the artists’ works. boccara.com
Batman by Lady Be
Exhibitor: M.B Art SRL (61)
M B Art SRL specialises in works of art from the contemporary to the ancient from all over the world. This piece is by Lady Be who specialises in creating unique mosaics, icons and famous portraits from plastic objects that are cut and glued onto a painting. An important part of the neo pop genre, Lady Be pieces have been increasing by up to 25% year on year. mbartsrl.com
