Exhibition: Headstrong – Basquiat on Paper
Jean Michael Basquiat is one of those artists whose mythology has somehow outgrown its medium. In the same way Bob Marley is bigger than reggae or Elvis is bigger than rock ‘n roll, Basquiat is bigger than art. A common thread between artists of this ilk is that they didn’t set out to achieve this…

1-54 Contemporary African Art — 7th Edition
Diaspora. There’s that word again. It’s one of those overused terms whose meaning has diluted in impact. Words like ‘genius’ and ‘iconic’ – we all ascribe them to people or things we want to spotlight. A diaspora refers to a population scattered from their ancestral homeland, maintaining cultural ties to their origin while living elsewhere. Zoom…

Scabal revisit Dalí’s tailored Vision
It’s fascinating to look back on past generations’ ideas of what the future will bring. How accurate they are. How we exceed their wildest imaginations. How the context of their present informs their ideals. Now, take someone with an extraordinary mind, whose art seemingly has no reference point other than a privileged look into a…

A Man Called Horse — Nic Fiddian-Green
To my shame, before speaking with the sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green, I had little idea who he was. I knew that most of his work was horse-based, large pieces of art commissioned to stand in landscapes, urban and rural, some private, others very public. I’d seen pictures of his studio, the artist himself, covered in dust,…

The London — Based Upon meets Steinway & Sons
There is nothing more pure than authentic collaborations, ones where a synergistic combination of ideals leads to an end result that truly reflects both brands, yet showcases them in a new way. These collaborations are always more risky for legacy brands, ones with substantial heritage, established customer bases and hence, brands with more to lose.…

Beefeater — Letters of Joy
“Art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art” _ Marcel Duchamp Poignant words, age old, much referenced and in recent times this thinking is becoming more widespread. Artists are finding new canvases and methods to express their work, while brands are providing more avenues for artists…

Whisky is a drink that people like, it needn’t be more complicated than that. Thankfully due to the intentionality of some—and bravery of others—we’ve simplified the conversation, leading to more…

D’OTTO — Artistic Fragrance
Embracing the notion of fragrance as a liquid artform rather than a trivial embellishment is not necessarily a new concept, but in that pursuit there are indeed many, many levels of accomplishment. Italian fragrance brand D’OTTO are a new arrival, but certainly no pretenders, ticking pretty much every box you can as a fragrance brand.…

The Frozen Vignettes of Alex Prager
For much of her career, photographer Alex Prager has sought minute meaning in large, crowded compositions; often deftly nudging the viewer’s eye to a mischievously planted detail. Signatures on the cast of a high school football player, a bandage on the nose of a woman running in terror, the face in the reflection of a…

Where to? — Cromwell Place
It’s a curious paradox that in times of crises we must prioritise pillars of survival over enjoyment. Healthcare, education and commerce have dominated our collective attentions these past couple of years and the world, by necessity, has been forced to take on a greyer complexion. However, it’s in these times of sparsity that the…

finessed — modern artistry
In this, the digital age, the concept of antiquity feels almost mythical. This great era of information has brought about untold benefits – namely, an ability to collect, compile and archive all human endeavour with robotic accuracy. Since the turn of the century, our ability (not to mention proclivity) to consume and catalogue information –…
