This weekend marks the start of Russian art week in London. Despite the double-dip recession in the UK the Russian market has remained buoyant. Most of the major auction houses are hosting sales of Russian paintings, icons, Fabergé and works of art.

There’s a moment, in the tiled nucleus of taxidermist Polly Morgan’s studio, that I suddenly remember that her trade is essentially in meat. ...

Most photographers know that a opportunistic snapshot can tell a much richer story than a set-up scene. Which is why The Museum of London were pro...

Travelling to Naples I was lucky enough to meet with artist French- Italian artist Paul Thorel. He is having his first solo show in Paris in June an...

The Orbit is a case in point. Having seen it last week I can assure you it looks even worse than the photographs. It is an uninspiring piece of scaffolding which has no links to its environment and says nothing about the surrounding area or community.

Street artists work with the grittier side of life, so it's not surprising they've jumped at the opportunity for a little escapism. Creative busin...

It could soon be possible to create your own book without writing a word.

Artists have the ability to create beautiful things. How is it, then, that when it comes to portraying themselves on canvas, it can sometimes seem so....

Oh to go into a gallery and just pick a piece of work, to look at it in all its fully realised 3D glory and say, "Yes, you are just what you say you are on the tin, I'll have you." I deal with proposals from artists and art collectives who want funding to realise dream builds.
