Back at Frieze Masters, there was this lovely Eduardo Paolozzi! #friezemasters #friezeartfair @friezeartfair #eduardopaolozzi

I don't think I need to remind you all that #ALifeInDrawing ends this weekend at The Queen's Gallery @royalcollectiontrust. It's a phenomenal exhibition that doesn't feel too heavy. It actually makes you want to flitter between drawings in one room and those in another just to make little comparisons. This drawing for the right sleeve of the Madonna in the Louvre 'Madonna and Child with St Anne' stunned me immediately. It shows Leonardo using almost every medium he knew, just to model its translucency and folds. Link to my review in the bio. https://nigelip.com/2019/10/11/leonardo-da-vinci-a-life-in-drawing-queens-gallery-buckingham-palace/ #leonardodavinci #Leonardo500 #queensgallery #buckinghampalace #royalcollection #drawing #disegno #review #exhibitionreview

My second round of Frieze Masters definitely brought me new artists to appreciate, such as the Viennese artist Sigmund Walter Hampel, a contemporary and friend of Gustav Klimt. This drawing on the stand of @ambrosenaumannfineart attracted me with its unfinished quality and dream-like imagery. And it's squared for transfer! @friezeartfair #friezemasters #friezeartfair #sigmundwalterhampel #drawing #zeichnung

Artists who can convincingly mimic light and shadow will always get a tick in my book, such as @suzanne.song, on view at @gallerybaton during @friezeartfair. #suzannesong #friezeartfair #friezelondon #chiaroscuro #illusionisticpainting

If I ever manage to form a photography collection, I know I'd want to grab these by @marysibande, on show at @kavigupta_ during @friezeartfair. I love the sense of female empowerment mixed with Old Master motifs, such as crowning putti and angular drapery reminiscent of early Netherlandish painting. #marysibande #friezelondon #friezeartfair #photography

@friezeartfair may be over but some pieces still linger in the depths of my little brain, such as this painting by @innes_callum at @inglebygallery. I was drawn to its simplicity at first. Nothing more. But then I became quite attracted to the upper edge of the purple area, where a thin horizontal line seemingly causes that section to pop out, as if it was embossed. #friezelondon #friezeartfair #calluminnes #painting #abstractart #contemporaryart

This 1940 work by Albert Berbank S.G.A. from the Second World War surprised me with its vibrancy and brilliant abstraction of Blitz damage! It is impressively uplifting! #albertberbank #simfineart @britishartfair #britishartfair #modernbritishart @saatchi_gallery #saatchigallery #friezeweek
