Art: Nazi UFOs

By mark patterson

Report - Mik at the London Art Fair 09 with Bend In The River

This time we made sure the paintings got there. Last year the carriers took the paintings down to the art fair, then brought them back again - forgetting to do the actual delivery bit! This time I even brought the very last painting with me by train and taxi - taking no chances. A gorgeous brand-new watercolour portrait of "Sonia25bi" that sold within minutes of my getting it there to a guy from Miami, so that's another one of mine… Continue

Excerpts from critical reviews for "Considering Silesia"

Enigmatic landscapes charged with psychological resonance…. An impressive combination of methodical observation and technical draughtsmanship matched by a mature understanding of the medium and just the right amount of spontaneity and freedom give these studies a real sense of urgency, energy and vitality.
