There’s nothing making quite as big a visual splash this spring as the massive Photo London 2018 show at Somerset House. This annual photography art and trade show showcases the best of the past, present and the future of international photography. Now in its fourth year, it has […]
Looking at the world through different eyes is something that German photographer Andreas Gursky excels at. His hyper-realistic views of global landscapes and landmarks propel photography onto a higher plane. Whether it’s a swathe of solar panels in a French village or the vast trading floor of the […]
Venice is one of the world’s great art cities. It’s best known for its glorious Renaissance treasures rather than its modern art galleries. The city’s museums and churches are stuffed with grand masters like Tintoretto, Titian and Bellini… whilst the Grand Canal conjures up images by Canaletto. But […]
The Venice Biennale is the show of a lifetime with its wild and wonderful exhibitions scattered across Europe’s most beautiful city of art. I’ve dreamed of making a trip to the Biennale for 20 years. When I found myself at the ‘heart of the art’ earlier this month, […]
Damien Hirst is no stranger to controversy. The bad boy of British art is renowned for whipping up a storm and dividing critics… and that’s exactly what he’s done with his latest show at the Venice Biennale. Treasure from the Wreck of The Unbelievable is an epic event […]

Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
Walking into the Paul Nash exhibition at Tate Britain is like going back in time to explore the big themes of the 20th Century. War and peace. Nash lived through the two defining wars of that century. He fought as a soldier in the First World War and painted as an official war artist […]
Gavin Turk is infamous for being one of the Brat Pack of Young British Artists. It’s no surprise that his first major solo show in more than a decade is wonderfully anarchic. The maverick artist’s back catalogue fills Damien Hirst’s splendid, new London art palace hidden away in the back streets of […]
