Artist of the Day: Freya Guest

Katie Pratt curated this exhibition of 15 paintings by Freya Guest.

This was the 21st edition of Artist of the Day at Flowers Gallery. It has been a valuable platform for emerging artists since 1983. This two week exhibition showcases the work of ten artists, chosen not by the gallery, but by established professional practitioners who have each nominated a talent of their choice.

Each selected artist presented a solo body of work at Flowers' Cork Street Gallery for one day only, open for public view 11am – 7pm. The selected artist was present throughout the day, and the selector also attended to discuss the collection with visitors. None of the chosen practitioners had exhibited with Flowers Gallery to date, and for many this wastheir inaugural show in the UK capital.

The criteria for selection were talent, originality, promise and the ability to benefit from a one-day exhibition of their work. The 2014 chosen artists cover the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance art, offering a unique glimpse into rising stars of the art world as chosen by some of the most prominent figures in contemporary art.
