Gallery Run 15th January

49I followed the flow-lines through the 28 central galleries . This zig-zag section looks small compared to my complete jog of 47 Frieze participating galleries!

48Elizabeth Peyton at Sadie Coles has a lovely touch in the drawings.

43Bruce Nauman at Marian Goodman is fab!

46Magdalena Kita at Bruce Haines Gallery. She has produced imagery on a variety of exotic skins including wild boar. Bruce Haines was happy to share a chat about the art.

47Wayne Gonzales at Stephen Friedman. This cross hatching is a new technique in contrast to his silhouette type paintings of crowds.

45Claire Barclay at Stephen Friedman. She juxtaposes her curve motifs in leather with strands and some delicate comb-like objects.

44Paintings by Jean Baptiste Bernadet and sculptures by Benoit Plateus at Almine Rech. Simplicity is a theme.

41Gallery Runner enjoyed a sit down and was invited to play a game at Herald Street at Golden Square. That’s my foot sticking out. Oliver Payne has converted a conference chair into something more fun.

42Sunny today!

Gallery Run 13th December

1a1Hello folks welcome to my very first blog as the Gallery Runner. I begin at Regent’s Canal coming out of Limehouse Basin. This is the access route to the first gallery of the day, The Approach.

1a2I was lucky to catch the last day of Sara VanDerBeek’s show before The Approach closes for Christmas.

1a3With this camera angle I find a light installation outside numbers 2 and 4 Herald Street where my next two galleries are.

1a4At Herald Street, the strip lights seemed to strobe when I took photos giving green bands. I liked the effect on Diane Simpson’s elegant assembly with its delicate lines and holes.

1a5With the title of Maze Runner, Phillip Zach’s piece (at Laura Bartlett Gallery) must feature in my inaugural blog!

1a6Cambridge Heath Road opposite AP Fitzpatrick, an art materials shop, reminds me of the pleasure of paint.
