Highlights include Rana Begum's first experiments in lenticular technology; new collages by Clare Woods; new editions by Julian Opie which explore representations of a French village; a new large-scale woodcut with collage by Yinka Shonibare CBE and new prints by Michael Craig-Martin (Cristea Roberts Gallery, London, Frieze London, Stand A6).
Silkscreen prints by Paul Hutchinson, whose photographs and lyrical texts deal with social phenomena of urban life such as contemporary youth culture and the circumstances of social mobility. (Knust Kunz Gallery Editions, Munich, Frieze London, Stand B14).
Do Ho Suh’s 3D Thread Drawings are rearticulated into ghostly silhouettes in shades of cyan blue, reminiscent of radiographic images; works by Genevieve Chua exploring structures and processes of painting through the use of diagram, palimpsest, syntax and the glitch; Ryan Gander’s multi-disciplinary works are defined by minimal objects that convey a partial narrative of fictional and non-fictional; and Jason Martin is perhaps best known for his monochromatic paintings, and (STPI Gallery, Singapore, Frieze London, Stand C14).
