HER STORY: REWA & Dagmar Van Weeghel

November 9, 2017 by F3mininja

I’m still recovering from the 1:54 Art Fair fifth edition in London that happened just over a month ago. I don’t think i got to soak in all the fantastic works that were on display throughout the course of the 4 days, but i digress; this is not a 1:54 review, but since then, i hadn’t been to view new exhibitions – until now. I was made aware of the duo exhibition at Gallery Of African Art per the usual mode of […]

Alexis Peskine: Power Figures

September 14, 2017 by F3mininja

The morning of Tuesday 12th of September was finally here and i was eager and prepared for the viewing reception happening later. Ever since October Gallery announced, back in August, that Alexis Peskine was to be presenting his first solo exhibition in London, I had been counting down in excited anticipation awaiting the moment I could see his work up-close. I first heard of Alexis, through October Gallery, back in March during his exhibition in Paris and for someone who’s […]

Boris Nzebo: Noir Desir

September 8, 2017 by F3mininja

Finally, after many failed attempts, I was able to attend a private reception at Jack Bell Gallery. As a part of their mailing list, i get first hand notifications for private receptions, and having always made plans to see how they may compare to others I’ve attended, something always seemed to come up. But this time i was determined, so i made sure to drag my partner along – whenever i try to get Him to come to Jack Bell, […]

Chris Ofili: The Caged Bird’s Song

June 29, 2017 by F3mininja

I’ve always aimed to steer away from the “mainstream” galleries but I couldn’t escape this one. My partner had heard Chris Ofili’s work was to be displayed at The National Gallery and made it an importance to go view it; I am absolutely thrilled that He did. Having never heard of this incredibly talented artist, the “weaving magic” project was the perfect introduction for me to his work as the title echoes the work of a writer I admire, Maya Angelou, […]

October Gallery: El Anatsui

April 11, 2017 by F3mininja

The first time I went to October Gallery, a couple of years ago, was to view El Anatsui’s work. Ghanaian born and living in Nigeria, El is internationally known for his use of aluminum bottle tops in his work but his art is not limited to that. El uses a range of tools and a number of materials to form the variety of sculptural metal hangings that I saw displayed at the gallery. I, unfortunately, do not have pictures but you can […]

Gallery of African Art: Private Viewing

February 24, 2017 by F3mininja

I was first introduced to Gallery of African Art (GAFRA) through a friend of mine and as someone who loves art and my African culture, I was stunned I wasn’t aware of this wonderful place earlier. They held a private viewing of Daniel Soresa’s work; an Ethiopian born artist whose experiences of the cultures in countries he’s visited (he’s been to quite a few) and lived in, aided in influencing his art. Due to Storm Doris aka ordinary breeze, I […]
