Is it just me or is the Summer going way too quick? Already we're coming up to July, so this will be the best opportunity you'll have to get your art work in a summer show. The stand out, must-apply exhibition is the Griffin Art Prize, as there is an opportunity to exhibit and win…
Are you keeping up with all the creative opportunities so far? Because there's been a few gems recently and they just keep coming! As well as some exciting magazine open calls, the Bath Society of Arts invites visual and sculptural artists to submit work for their annual group show. With opportunities like this, I say...Bring…
An exploration of Edinburgh's creative landscape was a stunning and culturally historic experience not to be missed! A recent adventure to Edinburgh was one not to be forgotten. My quest began on the mound at the Scottish National Gallery in the centre of Edinburgh, where Old Masters to Impressionists are shown, and where I caught the Drawing Attention…
Paintings and sculptures that fascinate and repulse, but when you get close, these bizarre organic works are anything but a delight. At first glance, Louise Zhang's work is drippingly sweet and seductive. Her use of neon-tastic, artificial colours are exciting and alluring to the eye, but as you begin to study the blob-like forms,…

I have to admit (very ashamedly) that this was my first ART16 fair and it didn't disappoint! Presenting over a 1000 outstanding artworks from galleries across the globe, there was a real emphasis on showcasing established but also emerging talent. Little brother to the Frieze Art Fair, it had everything from an oversized stuffed camel, elegant Lowery-esque…

Dreamy, psychadelic art from an Emmy Award winning artist Californian Seonna Hong is colourful to say the least! Her bizarre, marbled, dreamy landscapes are very emotive and expressive and are built on her wonderful imagination. There is also a deep consideration of the minimal and naturalistic landscapes she creates, that are not only filled with…
Glorious nature in all its alien-like beauty Ashley has a fascination with natural patterns and colour, finding beauty in the prosaic form of rocks, creating these mysterious alien-like shapes that float seamlessly mid air or stand alone in a desolate, apocalyptic landscape. By studying ecological interconnections, we become increasingly aware of the tenuous relationship between…
