Blancpain Engraving Event

To celebrate the art of fine watch engraving, Harrods is hosting an exhibition of one-off pieces from Blancpain. They're all hand-engraved, and designs range from classic landscapes to erotica. Cheeky. Our favourite is the over-18s automata, which we're told has moving parts. Forgive us the childish snigger...

The Blancpain engraving exhibition takes place in the Harrods Fine Watch room between the 31 January and 25 February

Temporal Matter by Niko Luoma

 

Remember a world before the digital photography boom, before the birth of Instagram and the selfie? We don't want to sound like a miserable git, but we kind of miss it, sometimes...

Finnish photographer Niko Luoma’s exhibition is a world away from today’s digital obsession. Using an analogue camera (gasp), Luoma exposes a negative to single lines of light hundreds of times. The results are mind-boggingly beautiful, abstract images that visualise the process of creating a photo. And there's no selfie stick in sight.

Origins at Heist gallery

Ever feel like you’re marching to the beat of the same drum as the rest of the world? So does Heist gallery’s founder Mashael Al-Rushaid: “People are increasingly beginning to sound alike, act alike and believe in the same things. Despite the countless joys of modernity, globalisation strips people of their identity,” she says. 

Cue Origins, an exhibition of photographs depicting places and people who remain unchanged by the modern world. Images such as Jimmy Nelson’s Tibetans celebrate those who have maintained a unique sense of self despite societal pressures. 

The exhibition begins on the 5 March at Heist Gallery. For more information, visit heist-online.com

Hugh Arnold – Agua Nacida

Underwater photography has been taken to sensual new depths by internationally acclaimed photographer Hugh Arnold, in his first UK exhibition Agua Nacida. 

His beautifully ethereal nudes capture the graceful weightlessness of floating in the deep blue. The images, which were shot in Fiji and Gozo, are meant to celebrate a woman’s life cycle, from the womb to adulthood. Arnold calls life under the sea “a fairytale world”, in which “the colours, the light, even our breath, which we can’t see above water, add wonderful dimensions.” 

Well, we tried the same with an iPhone wrapped in cling film and, yeah, it didn’t go so well.

Agua Nacida runs from 16 January-14 February at Mead Carney Fine Art; meadcarney.com
