Come and visit us at our pop-up location in Mayfair where we are showing works by Tyler Shields

We’re open 10am - 5pm today until Friday and 11am - 5pm on Saturday

19 Shepherd Market W1J 7PN

Tyler Shields (b.1982) has made a name for himself as one of the most celebrated Fine Art photographers. Even before the world knew Shields as the photographic provocateur he is today, he lived a life as complex and diverse as his pictures.

As a child growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Shields became a professional in-line skater –going on to compete in the X Games and win the World Championship. At an early age, Shields became accustomed to the unwavering dedication that it takes to reach success. For those who follow Shields closely, it has come as no surprise that shortly after starting his photography career, Shields became the youngest living artist to be in auction at Sotheby’s. Countless auctions later Sotheby’s dubbed him “...the Andy Warhol of his generation.” Stating: “Shields has produced images that play with notions of the gaze, power structures, hyper-realism, iconoclastic-tendencies and cinematographic practice”.

Get to Know … @mark_illuminati

Featuring punk-inspired imagery emblazoned with neon, vintage memorabilia and song lyrics, Mark (aka. Illuminati Neon) original artworks have commanded the attention of the art world. In 2019, he was showcased at the prestigious @saatchi_gallery for their @startartfair , which features some of the best emerging global talent.

In 2020, Mark was featured by the press when his punk portrait of Queen Elizabeth II received the royal approval from none other than the Queen herself! The matriarch is said to have enjoyed the artwork, but requested that her ‘Philip’ heart tattoo be changed to the royal crest – and Mark dutifully obliged. He says: “Allegedly, she burst out laughing but requested that it be changed so that it matched her bathrobes and slippers.”

Hand-painted in oils and acrylics at his studio in Shepherd’s Bush, London, his fluorescent creations are just as anarchic as their namesake. The handblown glass neon is formed using a centuries-old technique, echoing the exhilarating mixture of modern and classical that shaped the punk rock aesthetic.

Mark says: “Every piece tells a story about that transformative era: my experience of it, the people who made it and became my friends, and the honorary punks who personified its anarchy, chaos and rock ‘n’ roll long before the movement had a name.”

Get to Know … @sarapopeartist

Contemporary artist Sara Pope is best known for her bold, seductive paintings of voluptuous lips. Taking inspiration from a successful career in the fashion industry as a shoe designer for brands such as Paul Smith, and also her work in magazines as a designer and art director, Sara aims to capture the sensuality and seductive power conveyed by the lips and mouth. Interested in questions of beauty, communication, and the notion of perfection, Sara uses the perspective of her commercial experience to explore these themes.

The starting point is a makeup brush and a lipstick. She paints the models’ lips, then, using tricks and techniques of makeup and lighting, she begins the process of creating the perfect lips. She asks the model, to express different emotions which she captures photographically. Using these shots as inspiration she begins the artwork. The painting process involves several layers of thin oil-diluted paint being overlaid, blending and smoothing the colours extensively at every stage, sometimes also mixing lipstick into the paint.

Emulating the stylistic slickness of advertising, the result is glossy, perfect and irresistible.

Coming soon to @photolondonfair - link in bio to get your tickets 🔗

“Art has no rules knows no bounds and is governed by none yet people know it when they see it. The goal is always to create something that gives people a feeling, sometimes that requires a big production and sometimes it requires simplicity, Sadly the simple ones can be the hardest to get right. But that’s part of the challenge. This is a new image titled Flower Girl it was shot on a 30 year old film camera and has a tone and feel like it could have been taken today or 50 years ago, and that is what excites me trying to play with different eras. So what does this image say to you what story do you see, and would you hang this in your house?”

Wise words for a Monday!

The London based artist Illuminati draws on his punk roots and lifelong passion for rock music, its attitude, articulation and cultural dynamism.

Using vintage and historic flags, clothing and distressed materials which he crowns with neon and in doing so brings new life to these lost materials and phrases.

Every neon art piece is hand blown to the highest standard and created in Illuminati's West London studio.

This particular piece came about after Illuminati spent a weekend in Spain with Brett Anderson, singer of Suede. He told Illuminati his favourite song is 'everything will flow' which he believes to be their most accomplished song. This is Illuminati’s neon tribute to Brett and Suede.

Thinking back to ‘Bailey’s Parade’ - a selling exhibition of works by legendary photographer David Bailey at @sothebys

Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition featured some of Bailey’s most iconic works from the 1960s, a series of colour still lifes from the late 2000s as well as his most recent overpainted photographs.

Bailey’s work has been widely exhibited around the word and is held in major permanent collections including the National Portrait Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Among his numerous publications, in 2019 Taschen published David Bailey, a limited-edition monograph part of the house’s iconic Sumo series. In 2005, Bailey received the Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Photographic Society, and in 2016 the Lifetime Achievement award from the International Center of Photography in New York. In 2001, he received a CBE from Queen Elizabeth II.

The exhibition has now closed, but you can DM us to find out about available works

Happy Birthday to Britain’s longest serving monarch in history - Queen Elizabeth II is 96 today. This iconic photograph of HRH was taken by @bailey_studio . The photograph, commissioned on behalf of the government’s ‘Great’ campaign was released in honour of her 88th birthday

Over a career spanning more than half a century, renowned British photographer David Bailey CBE has shot everyone, from the Queen of England on her 88th birthday to Australian aboriginals and Indian sadhus; London’s Eastenders to icons of fashion, music, film, and art. Inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson, he got his start in 1959, becoming a photographer for British Vogue the following year. With a stripped-down, direct style, he reveals the beauty and heart of all of his subjects. In his words: “The pictures I take are simple and direct and about the person I’m photographing and not about me. I spend more time talking to the person than I do taking pictures.” Bailey’s black-and-white and color portraits and fashion shoots broke down barriers of class and race with their youthful, punk aesthetic, equalizing everyone who appears before his lens.
