Artists discuss sculptures and paintings for London’s Frieze art fair
Frieze is a large contemporary art fair held in Regent’s Park, London, each October.
It began in 2003 and brings a wide range of art together in one venue.
British-based artists are discussing work they are showing at the fair.
Kira Freije makes sculptures from materials including metal and fabric, and describes her wall-based works as suggesting a crowd.
Mohammed Z Rahman works in painting, sculpture and installation; his fair display includes painted wooden crates designed as seating and storage, alongside fish pictures inspired by a folk craft from rural Bangladesh.
The artists’ work draws on different experiences and ideas, including landscape, storytelling and social conditions.
The fair takes place each October, though no further details about what happens next are given.
