Art Fair Picks

Artworks at art fairs are culturally rich and diverse and from that standpoint they are worth looking at juxtaposed against one another. While you can scroll through countless of works from a gallery's selections it is worth separating them and curating against one another. You'll see differences that you might not otherwise see. Below is a grouping of art which I have put together, each one, I believe, shows off something unique when placed together. What you see is more dissimilar rather than the same, but each work stands strong alone as well as a group.
