A New Art Ecosystem
FOCUS Art Fair made its highly anticipated return to London in 2023. FOCUS London is a groundbreaking new art fair that celebrates the emerging co-existence of digital and traditional art forms, showcasing a diverse range of artworks that blur the boundaries between the physical and virtual realms. FOCUS took place in the heart of London, at the iconic Saatchi Gallery from 4-7 October, 2023. Situated on King’s Road, Chelsea, the gallery is housed in a Grade II listed building in West London. The
fair has been curated by HongLee art agency located in Paris, which has attained widespread recognition for working with international galleries. Following a remarkable New York edition in May, FOCUS Art Fair has decided to amplify its ideals and commitments with even greater intensity in London. At the centre of FOCUS is a vision of the future, where cutting – edge technologies are combined with the world’s foremost artistic imaginations, where the best sustainable practices are universally embraced, and where collectors become the custodians of a revolutionary digital art heritage. Past successful exhibitions have similarly identified and welcomed the emergence of the digital art trend. This is instigated through a core belief that the advancement of technological movements within the art scene cannot be typified as a temporary phenomenon.
In line with
its commitment to nurturing creativity, FOCUS is hosting a series of talks and workshops led by leading artists and experts,
that focus on two key themes: sustainability and the FOCUSPHERE (FOCUS*sphere). Topics range from the Rise of AI, NFTs
and Collecting Digital Art, to the best in Ecology Art Practise and the relationship between Art and the Environment. Features of
