KICKSTARTER

Hi. My name is Lloyd Austins. I'm an artist from Wolverhampton, UK. I have been selected to show my work at The Other Art Fair at The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London 17-20 October 2013.

"Established as an artist led fair, The Other Art Fair leads the way in uncovering and nurturing new and innovative creative talent, allowing artists to forge direct relationships with potential buyers and gallerists.

The fourth edition of the fair in April attracted 7,456 art buyers, with guests including representatives from Tate, Gagosian Gallery, Blain Southern, Timothy Taylor, Rosenfeld Porcini, Gazelli Art House, Saatchi Gallery, Sotheby’s Institute plus many more.

Now perceived as a fertile breeding ground to discover unrepresented artists, the next edition of The Other Art Fair will take place on 17-20 October at The Old Truman Brewery." 

It is an honour to have been selected to be part of the next fair in October.

The selection panel this year included Yinka Shonibare MBE, Rebecca Wilson (Director of The Saatchi Gallery), David Jaffe (Senior Curator, The National Gallery) and Nick Hackworth (Director of Paradise Row and former Contemporary Art Critic of the Evening Standard).

What I am asking for

I am asking for £2814. This money will exclusively cover the costs of the fair. These include printing, framing, glass, delivery, materials and the fees for The Other Art Fair. Any additional monies raised will allow me to diversify my print and framing options, and have a larger selection of work at the fair.

Cost Breakdown

The Other Art Fair Fees: 42%

Transport: 10%

Printing: 23%

Framing: 25%

About me

I have been painting for ten years. I have a studio at Maker's Dozen, Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

I paint by ‘sampling’ from every day experience; my surroundings, art history, people, advertising, the never ending data from social networks etc. in order to create a new, whole, synthetic, physical work that represents what I experience and process through my nervous system.
