All Visual Arts
Viewing Room
AVA exhibitions rarely disappoint and the Viewing room was no exception.
Held in the crypt at the church at number 1 Marylebone
the atmosphere is suitably dark and gloriously eerie.
I first stumbled upon all visual arts in 2011 during Frieze week
with an exhibition entitled
Vanitas: The Transience of Earthly Pleasures
It completely blew me away and introduced me to the likes of
Kate MccGwire and Charles Matton
Vanitas: The Transience of Earthly Pleasures
It completely blew me away and introduced me to the likes of
Kate MccGwire and Charles Matton
Kate's large scale installations are deliciously dark and deeply powerful,
while Charles Matton works in miniature
constructing incredible detailed environments set into a glass box.
They really must be seen to be believed.
This annual event is one of my
favourites on the arts calendar topped only by Frieze.

Super- hyper- realist painter.
Believe it or not this is an oil painting.
you may be more familiar with his piece in the national portrait gallery
of Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse
A master
Creating extraordinary miniature environments
Following the Vanitas theme
her work is fabulously macabre.
Deliciously dark.
