About
The Devil’s Fuge Part 1 took place in Covent Garden in December 2019, a stunningly broad collection of original and limited edition artworks from globally acclaimed artists that captured the attention of the capital’s collectors and aficionados, and the attendance of leading creatives in their own right, including Ronnie Wood and Chef Tom Kerridge.
Now, the concept’s sequel, The Devil’s Fuge Part 2 (simply referred to as ‘The Devil’s Fuge’ once more) is being reignited in the beautiful art-led surroundings of Notting Hill. The stable of artists involved reads as a who’s who of celebrated contemporary 21st-century artists, with one notable exception, the inclusion of one of pop art’s most celebrated and dearly departed icons.
Featuring undisputed heavyweights Banksy, Keith Haring and Sex Pistol’s punk collaborator Jamie Reid, screen-print phenomenon Dave Buonaguidi, neon-queen Lauren Baker, the vintage voices of a post-truth world, The Connor Brothers – exciting and established young British talents in Carne Griffiths and Chloe Natalia and Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno’s alter ego, daft-apeth, each injecting an uncompromising and unforgettable merging of the medium as serious collectors and first-timers alike find a home and destination within one curation.
Artists have been chosen purposefully to be welcoming to those taking their first or their thousandth step into art and collection, with a cool, authentic, and unapologetically unpretentious atmosphere guaranteed in the gallery, just shy of Christmas.
Artist of the moment, Fin DAC, fresh from his sold-out show in Fitzrovia (a critical, commercial and cult success) will be using this exhibition as an opportunity to release the third installment of his ‘Fleur’ series, currently consisting of two sold-out releases and now with a third unquestionably pending. The artist will release in attendance at The Devil’s Fuge.
