Discover the artists bringing Frieze to Sloane Street
Maya Rose Edwards, William Farr, James Jessiman, Marc Quinn and Ro Robertson.
Marc Quinn - Deep Red Desire
A representation of an orchid, in deep eye catching red, emphasising the passion and desire associated with orchid flowers and their relationship to exploration and collecting.
Marc Quinn - Our Botanic Shelves (Happy Tree)
Part of a series of artworks inspired by Kew Garden’s Herbarium specimens. Each representing a plant used for the treatment of human diseases.
Ro Robertson - Stone (Butch)
Ro Robertson’s Stone (Butch) is part of a body of works exploring the terrain of the queer body in the landscape. Created by casting the erosion of stones on in the rugged formations of the Cornish coast, the naturally sculpted figuration is elevated to art and claims space in the urban environment.
James Jessiman - The End
Inspired by the intersections of the human innovation and the natural world that has created hybrid species and progressions in medicine and manufacture, Jessiman’s otherworld totems gesture towards nature’s role in a future still to come.
Maya Rose Edwards - An Alternative Guide To Birdwatching
An installation of twelve silhouetted magpies brings the Scottish rhyme ‘One for sorrow, two for joy’ to life. Each bird, carrying a line from the poem, is perched on trees and lampposts along the Street. Varying in size and style, they invite visitors to look up, explore, and discover them all.
William Farr - Metonia 005 and Metonia 007
William Farr’s paintings emerge from a meditative, layered process, creating an immersive experience of sublime intensity. During Frieze, his work Metonia 005 will adorn streetlight poles along Sloane Street, inviting visitors to look up, pause, and discover art in unexpected places. At the same time, Metonia 007 will be transformed into a large-scale window vinyl, continuing the Street’s transition into an open gallery and encouraging passers-by to stop and enjoy William’s work in the public realm.
Sophie Mess
