10 Artists to Watch From The Other Art Fair 2013

The Other Art Fair in London takes a unique approach to presenting work. Instead of a gallery showing works from multiple artists, the fair gives unrepresented artists a chance to show their own work in their own booths. Neons, 3D printing, painting, photography, and mixed media works were present at this year's fair, and all of the highest caliber, giving buyers an opportunity to genuinely experience the work of emerging artists.

Around the time of art fairs likeFrieze London, collectors, gallerists, and art enthusiasts are out talking about wanting to find "the next big thing." While that talent may exist at the main fair, it undoubtedly, and perhaps more likely, exists at places like The Other Art Fair.

VisitBritain and British Airways made it possible for us to cover as much as we could during Frieze Week, and since The Other Art Fair was being held in the same space as Moniker Art Fair, it was a must-see.

Check out these 10 Artists to Watch From The Other Art Fair 2013. Chances are, even if it's your first time seeing these names, it won't be your last.

"My interest in making art is in creating work that explores our relationship with art itself. My practice is primarily concerned with the image: I make images that explore the building blocks and allow us to question our relationship with them." —James Thurgood

"His influences range from art historical and graffiti references to personal interpretations of historical occurrences, organic and natural imagery, and computer design (his artistic persona #codefc references a hexadecimal colour code in design technologies, as well as being a word –play of his initials and his graffiti name 'code')." —The Other Art Fair

"Roderick's practice aims to develop an understanding of consciousness through the use of a broad visual-symbolic language, exploring a range of artistic media. The theoretical backdrop to this investigation is made up of his prior training and practice in science, as well as a deep, life-long interest in the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung." —The Other Art Fair

"Frikkx uses the photographic medium to manipulate, distort, and capture specific moments in time. He uses heightened color, abstraction, and repetition to transform the everyday into alternative realities. His works are both delicate and emotive with a strong constructed aesthetic." —The Other Art Fair

"The pieces are created manually, without any digital tools—the process of combining the scattered parts into whole references a session of psychological treatment. Based on the dreams her friends shared with her, Savvina creates the hectic images, representing the incoherent story lines of the dreams and bright feverish visions." —The Other Art Fair

"I have always likened my paintings to music, which also has no referent, one French critic describing them as having 'the colors of Rubens and the rhythms of Bartok,' suggesting the fluid and restrained irregular rhythms that we find in the symbolist poets. Mallarme saw the same relationship between poetry and music, drawing attention to the 'rhythms between the relations.' 'It is the same as an orchestra,' he says, 'only literary and silent.' Like the poetry of Baudelaire and Mallarme, my painting aims to 'set up a strong framework of oppositions, reflections and analogies that help to impose an order—or many orders....appears to promise a conclusion but in fact points back into what seems infinite possibility.'" —Zheni Maslarova Warner

"Recent work from Deakin has been mixed media, looking at the city landscape, architecture, and urban detritus. Textural scratching exposes and abstracts each incarnation of the image, and the present edit is seen within the lineage of what once was." —The Other Art Fair

"A concept very frequently used in my latest workis the idea of showing the picturewindow. I use figurative elements, particularly the landscape. Above those figurative elements, I superimpose 'abstracts' geometric shapes; sometimes it is seen in the landscape and simultaneosly in another spacial plane in front of the landscape, It's as if it was in an inner space, and through a window, we can see the outer space. It's very close to Magritte’s 'windows-pictures.'" —Francisco Nicolás

"By combining unusual materials with a strong sense of color and attention to the shape, my works reflect the volatility and power of human emotions.

By taking inspiration from an interest in the complexity of the human relationships and the vast array of emotions that accompany them, my mixed media sculptures are a means of articulating these feeling in a very physical way, resulting in an immediate and powerful impact on the spectators." —Alberto Fusco

"Born in the Highlands of Scotland, I recall drawing from an early age; obsessively drawing and re-drawing pictures, trying to achieve perfect scale and efficient ways of devising images.

Through this compulsive process, and drawing on my education in illustration and design, I developed a practice which draws upon classical Flemish painting techniques, devising increasingly complex and imaginative scenes." —Mackie
