Guruve<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This edition, we’re excited to welcome Guruve<\/a>, joining us from Hertfordshire. As experts in Zimbabwean stone sculpture, they’re passionate about showcasing talented contemporary artists like Tafadzwa Tandi – an artist who embraces working with the hardest stones, such as agate, to create sculptures inspired by natural forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their advice for art collectors? Don’t underestimate the pleasure a sculpture can bring. You can ‘see’ with your fingertips, and an artwork you can touch brings joy every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margo in Margate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Margo in Margate<\/a> will also be making their debut at the fair, bringing a joyful, colourful, and vibrant collection of works that celebrate optimism and creativity through the art of Irish artist Margo McDaid.

Known for her vintage-inspired female portraits that celebrate the beauty and diversity of women, Margo has painted daily since 2014 in her Kent studio. Her vivid works, inspired by Margate’s youth culture, have garnered a devoted following. Her last UK exhibition sold out in 24 hours, so it’s best to hurry to her booth!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
