Love Art London provides quirky and unusual meetings, behind-the-scenes tours, interviews, meet-the-artist studio visits - and all kinds of awesome unique events that redefine your idea of the art scene in London.
The visitors met with the fair director, Ryan Stanier, before meeting a handful of us artists - I was delighted to be described as 'the supremely talented Chris Otley - what this man can’t do with a pencil ain’t worth doing." Cheers guys!
