Saatchi Gallery Exhibition - NEWSPEAK: BRITISH ART NOW

LBF is fascinated and similarly entranced by modern art. The Saatchi gallery in Duke of York's Square on the Kings Road is the perfect combination of tantalising pieces framed within the expanse of white, wide, open spaces. Last night was the opening of their new exhibition, Newspeak: British Art Now, where handfuls of eclectic artists, gallerists, buyers and viewers boycotted the site, wine glasses in hand, to ponder over the works and visual stimulants of Britain's most prolific artists.

'Black's approach to sculpture is often described as holistic: her assemblages are more than the sum of their parts, each element interconnects physical, psychological, and theoretical stimuli which are both self-referential and relate to art as a wider-world experience.'
