"Standouts at the Affordable Art Fair 2025"
ArtDog Gallery: Philip Williams, Pete Hawkins, Claudia de Vilafames, Becky Munting
London-based gallery ArtDog stood out in the mix, with Philip Williams’s self-described “Bacoquerie” style taking the main stage. Exploring themes of baroque and rococo, as one would imagine, the resulting style is a highly saturated composition that examines the border of representation and abstraction. REFUGE & ETERNITY (2024) is a vibrant, familiar-yet-unfamiliar representation of classical forms, contemplating European signifiers of status and authority, subverting the strict classical rules, and placing the fresco-inspired works in a contemporary context.
