A hidden gem in the heart of Marylebone 📍

Discover Bound, a captivating group exhibition at Secteur Privé, bringing together the work of three remarkable female artists, Sonia Navarro, Soojin Choi and Maliha Abidi, alongside select design pieces by Mark Brazier-Jones.

On view until 4 November 2026, the exhibition explores the visible and invisible threads that bind us, from woven textiles and intertwined bodies to the symbolism of faith and sisterhood. Through their distinct practices, the artists offer a thoughtful reflection on identity, belonging and the shared experiences that unite us.

We are delighted to announce that in January 2027, curator, cultural strategist and advisor Lisa Anderson will curate Platform at London Art Fair, exploring the theme of Together.

‘Together’ originates in the Old English tōgædere: to gather, to assemble, to exist in one another’s company. Yet to be together has not always meant to belong.

Across generations, artists have explored the complexities of race, migration, memory and identity, revealing both the tensions and possibilities that emerge when lives intersect.

Bringing these practices into dialogue, Together considers belonging not as something fixed or inherited, but as something continually made.

Through sculpture, painting, installation and photography, the presentation considers togetherness not as a destination, but as an ongoing practice shaped by memory, care, imagination and our shared futures.

Last chance to discover a different side of Alexander Calder 📌

Eames Fine Art’s showcase of Alexander Calder brings together his sought after colour lithographs, revealing the same sense of movement, balance and playful abstraction that characterises his better known sculptures and mobiles.

On paper, Calder’s language becomes wonderfully immediate. Vivid colour meets assured black line, while forms appear to float, bounce and shift across the composition. What feels spontaneous is, on closer look, exquisitely controlled.

These are works full of energy and joy, but also remarkable sophistication, offering a rare connection to one of the most distinctive artistic voices of the twentieth century.

The exhibition closes this Saturday, 11 October. Don't miss the final week!

Last week to see Traces at Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery!

Barbara Macfarlane's new exhibition turns the rugged, olive-clad hills of Les Baronnies into monumental oil paintings and intimate works on Khadi paper. Her mark-making moves between mountain ridges, sun-baked earth and layered surfaces, capturing both the physical terrain and its emotional resonance. Alongside her signature grid-like city paintings, the show hovers at the threshold of abstraction and leaves the final view to you.

Don't miss your chance to visit before October 3 - https://bit.ly/4jrMHYn 🔗

“I start from another world altogether.”

Step into the curious and captivating dreamworld of Desmond Morris (1928 - 2026), where zoology, instinct and Surrealism collide.

Spanning eight decades of artistic practice, this exhibition brings together Morris’s biomorphic creatures, imagined landscapes and extraordinary visual language.

Coinciding with the publication of his final book, The Surrealist Menagerie: Strange Beasts and Fantastic Visions, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the artist’s lifelong journey between the rational and the irrational, observation and imagination.

Discover a world entirely his own. On view until 24 October at The Redfern Gallery - https://bit.ly/4dRTTtc 🔗

How do you curate Lynn Chadwick across a historic estate? Polly Bielecka, Director of Pangolin London, takes us behind the scenes.

From the 1950s to the 1990s, over thirty works span interior and exterior sites in dialogue with the Neo-Palladian architecture and parkland of Houghton Hall. Dynamic beasts, kinetic sculptures and Chadwick's iconic couples, many rarely or never before shown.

With a year-round programme spanning historic British sculpture and contemporary practice, Pangolin London returns to the Fair in January, presenting in the Pavilion on Stand 9 with works by Lynn Chadwick among those on display.

Take a closer look at Chadwick’s work in context and visit the exhibition before it closes on 4 October - https://bit.ly/3SUGKIV 🔗
