Pick Me Up Preview at Somerset House
Last night the Lazy Oaf team traveled down to London's Somerset House to preview this years Pick Me Up Contemporary Graphic Art Fair and we were overwhelmed by the amount of good stuff on offer. The fair is occupied by presentations from some of the world's most exciting graphic design collectives and galleries and showcases 20 of the best emerging graphic art talent in the Pick Me Up Selects exhibition.
Running over three floors across multiple rooms, we devoted almost three hours to exploring every piece of artwork on show. Top discoveries included dream-like landscapes by Tom Sewell, cosmic collages by Miles Donovan and tear-jerkingly funny drawings by Cachetejack.
Here are some of our highlights:
Aside from the incredible artwork we were treated to a tasty selection of canapes including trays of cheeses, hams, mini burgers and sausage rolls.
If you would like to go and see all of this and more then head on down to Somerset House as the fair is open to the public from 22nd March - 1st April 2012. Prints are available to purchase from just £10 as well as a selection of graphic printed books, postcards, totes, T-shirts and a whole lot more.
