New Yorker in London Loves Stephen Walter

Stephen Walter has been reviewed on the New Yorker in London blog, as the blogger, Tara, loves the intricate detailing of his work. She comments, “I have never seen this artist’s work in person, but the online images are fascinating (in theory, at least; they are so detailed that it’s hard to see what’s going on). Each map is filled with miniscule drawings and symbols, creating various layers of geographical existence. These are more like texts than drawings, to my eye, and I can see getting lost in the Southwark selection.”

BBC 1's The Apprentice

I’ve just had one of our artists, Vanessa Warren drop some work off in the gallery. Late last year Vanessa was short listed and later selected to feature in an episode of BBC 1’s ‘The Apprentice’: due to air Wednesday 25th April.

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the set up of the series where the team of young entrepreneurs battle through a series of tasks in order to prove their worth to Sir Alan Sugar. In this episode the two teams had to put on an exhibition, each featuring two photographers work and see who could sell the most.

Working alongside Vanessa was fun and a great chance to get a sneak preview of some of the apprentices. Most had little understanding about art and were struggling to suppress their money driven attitude when talking to Vanessa – I’m interested to see the episode after it has been edited!

We’ve just hung a selection of Vanessa’s work in the entrance of the gallery and it looks stunning – such vivid colours! Come and see!

Whisper Mag Loves David Bray, Montana Forbes and Lucie Bennett

Thursday May 29th saw the launch of Whisper Mag, a wholly original online women’s magazine aimed at real, down-to-earth girls.

Crucially, everything in the mag is also enriched and made interactive with links and videos, embracing the publishing industry’s recent shift towards the use of digital media.

The magazine has recently featured work by David Bray and Montana Forbes. Check out the articles at Whispermag.co.uk: here and here.

This week, Whisper mag features artwork by Lucie Bennett.

Why Blog?
Eyestorm has been the market leader for limited edition prints since the web was in its infancy, so over time we've become pretty opinionated on a bunch of art-related issues. So while we're here to provide you with the best art you can buy, we also wanted a flexible space through which to share our experience of working in the frenetic, ever-accelerating market for contemporary art. So this is it. The Eyestorm blog. Ups, downs, news, views and reviews.
