Beth Carter’s dream-like sculptures are a perfect showcase of the breadth of artworks on offer at the fair – from paintings to photography and beyond. Carter’s work is beautifully crafted from her own life experience, as with her featured minotaur series which tenderly details the memory of her father’s struggle with depression. Her studies in mythological sculpture in Sri Lanka and India contributed to the intricate detail of the creatures. Beaux Arts Bath

Charles-Alexis Grenier is a painter and graphic designer native to Montreal. His large-scale compositions on wood comprise fragmentary, geometric interpretations of mid-century photographic images.

Juliette Schwartz uses canvases to explore constantly changing spaces, nature and architecture to question the boundaries of figurative art in a beautifully dynamic way. Schwartz had a 15 year-long career in stage design before committing fully to painting, lending an exciting sense of theatricality in her subsequent works. Galerie Virginie Barrou Planquart

Also showcasing her work as part of Platform Projects is Hermione Allsopp, whose sculptures tap into the human psyche and play with our established sense of familiarity.  Hermione makes sculptural works by collecting objects and furniture and then reimagining them into new forms.

Irvine Peacock’s work – which has broadly been described as surrealist – offers an enchanting journey into the painted worlds of myth and folklore. Interestingly, Peacock once considered art therapy as a career before settling as an artist, which adds an element of the psychological to his work. Peacock’s All You Need is being brought to the fair by Portal Painters, a London based gallery who have represented high quality artworks by a unique group of artists for over 50 years. Portal Painters
