DIscover OUR MOST POPULAR ARTISTS TO DATE

In April 2020, The Other Art Fair Online Studios launched with the ambition to continue to foster the growth of the artist and art-lovers community, in the absence of our live Fairs around the world. Since launching, the Studios have supported independent artists globally, connecting them with new customers, followers, and other fellow artists.

To celebrate this milestone, and to welcome a new digital chapter for The Other Art Fair as we head into 2021, we’re seeing out the year by showcasing some of our most popular artists. Spanning a huge array of disciplines, this talented bunch have been our 2020 best sellers. So, without further ado, here are our top artists (as shopped by you!) from each of our Online Studios…

Alejandro
Aboli

BROOKLYN

Alejandro Áboli is a Spanish filmmaker and photographer, now based in New York City. Influenced by his artistic roots from his uncle and father-in-law, Alejandro Áboli developed an early passion for film and photography, combining his natural talent with an extensive education in the subject. He attended the Universidad Complutense de Madrid where he received his BA in Visual Arts.

Áboli’s collection within the Online Studios is named The RedLine, which represents a significant transition from a photographer to a visual artist. Combining reality with fiction, Áboli reduces images to their simplest forms to capture the delicate relationship between real and imaginary worlds.

Nadia
Attura

BROOKLYN

Nadia Attura is a fine artist based in London, UK. She creates photographed details made on location, which are then layered to form a tableau of collected scenes within a scene, to convey a sense of place and time. Often the original photograph disappears from documentary single imagery toward a more painterly, poetic, interpreted view of the world. Nadia achieves this by applying washes, paints, or chalk to the constructed images.

A favourite from both The Other Art Fair in London and more recently in Brooklyn, Nadia’s work features in prominent residential and public projects across the world.

Magdalena
Krzak

CHICAGO

Magdalena Krzak is a Polish artist who lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Her paintings present a unique combination of an abstract, with figurative forms and drawings.

Her pieces are led by emotions and everyday observation. Images of women are subtle and feminine, her subjects are often nude and vulnerable. Created only with an outline, then filled with colours and texture, they blend with Magdalena’s backgrounds, yet speak to the viewer with power.

The combination of illustrative and abstract styles gives her work a dreamy quality and transports the observer into a whole other world.

Xan
Padron

DALLAS

Xan Padrón is a Galician photographer, musician and composer. The son of an old-school journalist, Xan Padrón grew up in an environment where he was used to being the silent observer who sees things quietly and finds stories everywhere.

As a former professional touring musician, traveling the world with his bass and his camera he was able to pursue his career as a photographer focused on the people around him.

Xan Padrón’s fascination with time and movement, coupled with an uncanny ability to disappear behind the lens, unnoticed by his subjects, brought him to the realization of how much life happens even at the most seemingly insignificant location of a city.

Bollee
Patino

DALLAS

Bollee Patino is a contemporary mixed-media street artist with a fast-paced practice between hasty motifs and representation of abstract expressionism while fusing graffiti and street elements with more traditional techniques in his acrylic and spray-paint works.

His artwork contains layered metaphors of social views while flirting with identity subjects of ego and a sense of self, often pulling from his graffiti background with influences from underground fashion, skate, and hip-hop cultures.

Marianne
Hendriks

LONDON

Marianne Hendriks shares her wonderment of nature in a painting practice highly informed by her background in architecture and design.

With each distillation of a leaf into a simple abstraction, Marianne attempts to make sense of the world by categorically manipulating geometry and form.

Her oil paintings possess a rhythmic quality, created by the repetition of pattern and texture, and seek out balance between realism and highly stylised expression.

Sabina
D’Antonio

MELBOURNE

Sabina D’Antonio is a self-taught contemporary abstract artist based in Victoria, Australia.

Her passion for the coastal lifestyle on the Mornington Peninsula inspires a style of colourful, vibrant, and textured painting with a distinct distressed and weathered look.

Each piece is unique, resulting in a body of work evoking a passion for distressed and weathered surfaces, love of colour, and an overall passion for a coastal lifestyle.

Nathan
Paddison

SYDNEY

Sydney-based painter Nathan Paddison (aka who’s thisguy) uses experiences from his troubled past as inspiration for his colourful works.

Melisa
Taylor

TORONTO

Born in Canada, artist Melisa Taylor explores the notion of the sublime through blur and precision in her work, using the natural world as a blueprint and sourcing ideas from historical art and contemporary culture.

She develops an aesthetic of duality by utilising a hybrid approach to art. Her studio practice is labour-intensive using commercial and electric tools to inject unpredictability into the painting gesture.

Embracing chance is a central idea in her work, equally so is meticulous control. This results in a subterranean tension that jeopardizes the ethereal appearance of her pieces; arbitrariness and mechanical execution fuse to create what she calls “systèmes faillibles” where spectral motifs seek to emerge out of obscuring lattices.
