February 16th 2010 - Veritasse team visits London galleries
Aidan Meller, the director of Veritasse, arranged a last minute visit to London galleries last week, as a thank you to Veritasse staff members. It was a delightful day, which took in a range of artworks, old and new. Staff enjoyed coceptual work by Candice Breitz at the White Cube and the centenary of Edward Seago at the Portland gallery. Work ranged from photographs of octogenarians at the Alexia Geothe gallery, to pop art at the Belgravia. The Halcyon gallery was exhibiting striking and beautiful sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn and photo-realistic paintings of falconry. Equally fascinating were the ancient portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and other historical figures at the Philip Mould gallery. Sue Newham, membership co-ordinator, said, "I would thoroughly recommend visiting well established commercial galleries to all artists. It has certainly made me aware of both the uniqueness of every artist, but also the sheer hard work that top artists put into perfecting their craft."
