Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, UK

Anthony Wilkinson Gallery’s presentation at Market Art Fair consists of works by artists that use their everyday surroundings as source for their work.

George Shaw – paintings are based around where he lived as a child – Tile Hill, Coventry and surrounding countryside. His paintings have a haunting innocence and are as much about what has been forgotten, lost, swept away as about what is remembered. James White – is well known for his highly detailed paintings of incidental moments / observations. Derived from photographs and painted in a highly contrasted monochrome palette – his works, function as stills of life. A K Dolven – has used her location and herself in many works particularly in her video works. Richard Billingham – documented his home life and alcoholic parents in his now famous photographic series ‘Rays a Laugh’. Dag Erik Elgin – has worked for many years on an ongoing series of evening drawings of his immediate surroundings executed at home. Simple line drawings of the domestic.
