<p>The Knightsbridge Estate has unveiled a large-scale photographic installation entitled ‘Of Myth and Legend’ on Brompton Road. The Estate commissioned the series of portraits from British Nigerian photographic artist Àsìkò to mark the completion of seven magnificent brand-new flagship stores built behind restored façades. Framed by vast windows, the nine super-sized portraits inspired by multi-cultural fashion culture in London, sit at pavement level, with further images occupying the upper windows.</p> <p>In a collaboration with MTArt to bring Àsìkò’s work to The Knightsbridge Estate, ‘Of Myth and Legend’ draws its inspiration from the stories of deities from the multicultural communities of London. Through the work, Àsìkò explores shared heritages of African and other cultures to create new narrative blends of mythological deities. The series is composed of fashion photographic imagery and collage symbolism as an interpretation of diasporic ideology using deity iconography. The work explores the connections or shared stories, highlighting we have more in common than we think, and our connections loom deeper through the ages.</p> <p>“When I was young I was inspired by the stories of the heroes and mythology of my Yoruba culture.<br /> These cultural icons form the inspiration for ‘Of Myth and Legend’, which explores the legends of the<br /> Orisha through new interpretations of the diaspora narrative. From German to Indian, African and Asian,<br /> the palette of London is wide and vast, a melting point of ethnicities and backgrounds. I am thrilled to<br /> have been given the opportunity by The Knightsbridge Estate to show this new body of work in such a<br /> prestigious and prominent address.”<br /> Àsìkò</p> <p>“The Knightsbridge Estate is excited to be exhibiting this brand-new body of art by Àsìkò.

Greenwich Peninsula, London, UK
<p class="">Greenwich Peninsula has commissioned Liz West to create <em>Hundreds and Thousands </em>for The Tide. The artwork wraps 700 metres of the walkway’s glass balustrades, creating a ribbon of undulating colour. The installation contemplates the subtle nuances of light in this unique riverside location as we transition from Spring to Summer. This work is part of an ongoing exploration of colour and scale, using The Tide as an evolving platform.</p> <p class="">For West<em>, Hundreds and Thousands</em> pays homage to The Tide’s geography and proximity to the Greenwich meridian line by behaving as a sundial, therefore, allowing people to see the changing light depending on the time of day and season. The multiple reflective glass surfaces adorned with jewel-like multicolours will reflect people and the surroundings, encouraging and promoting movement around The Tide and making a work that feels like it ‘belongs’. “The experience of seeing my work as you move along and around The Tide gives visitors a kaleidoscopic and rich visual experience that will hopefully trigger feelings of wellbeing and joy.”</p> <p class="">The architecture and design of The Tide, as well as how the space is used by the public, has influenced the intricate design to allow people a fluid and ever-changing experience of the work. Selected colours and repeated visuals have been used to augment and enhance the space and visitor experience. This site-specific work aims to create a new space for exploration and discovery. It depicts and symbolises a physical and metaphorical meeting point of both colours and people. Covering all the glass panels of The Tide, this immersive installation helps join together the different paths across the space. The luminous multicoloured stripes collectively become a rhythmic cacophony of colours, creating a mesmerising mass when viewed from all angles. The work appears to change and morph as you journey around the space. The work encourages you to follow the work around the space, with different perspectives offering intriguing colourways and kaleidoscopic visuals.</p> <p class="">The colour palette aims to encourage positive associations and memories of colour. West makes these colour choices instinctively and intuitively, experimenting in colour mixing to focus on the interaction of colours as well as carefully composing a spatial balance between geometric elements and forms.</p>

MTArt Artist Delphine Diallo’s work has been acquired by the permanent collection of Guerlain, as part of the ‘Dear Eugénie’ photo exhibition at Maison Guerlain – featured alongside works by Charlotte Rampling, Audrey Tautou, and more.
Guerlain’s perfume and beauty creations provide opportunities for encounters with talented artists and for over 12 years Guerlain has also been a partner of the FIAC Paris.
To celebrate the historic Eau de Cologne Impériale’s 170th birthday, created for the union of Eugénie de Montijo and Napoleon III back in 1853, Guerlain asked eleven women artists to revisit the mythical bottle in a photograph. A way of letting creativity take up the codes of this legendary bottle in a spirit of sisterhood that brings a breath of modernity to this exhibition.
Delphine creates ‘Impression’ a photography collage and personal dialogue with the Empresses – curated by Fisheye Gallery.
“I chose to make this image on a burgundy velvet background in full sunlight. It’s the bees’ connection to the sun; as soon as it rises, they fly off to new adventures. This work is a tribute to artist notebook research” – Delphine Diallo.
Visit “Dear Eugénie” until 4th September at their historical address Maison Guerlain, 68 Avenue des Champs Elysées, Paris 8th.

Fragmentary Venus Tight
The Fragmentary Venus is a group of statues representing the oldest busts of the Hellenistic period. The Milo Venus is one of them.
This Fragmentary Venus is inspired by one of them coming from the collections of the Acropolis Museum in Athens.
Dating from more that 2200 years, this sculpture with almost perfect anatomical proportions shows the exceptional mastery of antiquity that was only found 1500 years later in the Renaissance. To realise his works, Léo Caillard is inspired by references to antiquity. Here, he works the stone as if it was malleable. Between mineral and organic, the artwork questions our time and our historical belonging to these statues from the past.
Venus Milo Tight
The Milo Venus is also part of the group “The Fragmentary Venus”, also called “The Aphordites” because they are from the Greek Hellenistic Period.
After nature have done its work, it only remains the bust of these artworks dating from the seconf century BC.
Milo Venus, which was found on an Island with the same name, is one of the best preserved artworks and can be seen at Le Louvre in Paris in all its splendour.
The technical perfection of the movement of the body and its proportions shows the excellence of the Greek period compared to the rest of the world.
By sculpting the marble, Leo Caillard seeks to open a dialogue between the past and the present to better build the future. Here, the mineral becomes organic and reminds us how our time is linked to its ancient history.
