Katrina Aleksa on the Gift, the Gesture, and the Future of Luxury

18 hours ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

In a world where experiences are fleeting, and algorithms define taste, Katrina Aleksa is building something quieter—and far more enduring. The London-based art advisor, curator, and co-founder of the Association of Women in the Arts (AWITA) has spent her career guiding collectors through the opaque corridors of the international art market, uniting aesthetic vision with strategic investment. Now, Aleksa is turning her attention to something even more intimate: the act of giving.
MotoArto Founders Marchella de Angelis and Kim Shaylor Steer Car Culture into the Art World

1 day ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Contemporary art and car culture don’t often share the same garage. But for the founders of MotoArto Network, that divide is exactly what makes their intersection so thrilling. Launched by filmmaker and designer Marchella de Angelis and curator Kim Shaylor, MotoArto is a bold reimagining of the automobile—not as status symbol or machine, but as canvas, muse and cultural mirror.
Calum Hall, Creative Debuts, and the Artist’s Right to Be Seen

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Creative Debuts Founder Calum Hall’s journey into the art world didn’t begin with gallery openings or fine art degrees framed in oak. Hall came to it the way many working-class dreamers do — through the back door. Well, not entirely — but we’ll get to that in a minute. It started in a modest home in North East England, where creativity meant his mother’s careful hands knitting warmth into sweaters, and second-hand treasures spoke volumes on charity shop shelves.

James Vaulkhard: Where the Land Remembers and the American Sublime

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

There’s a moment, somewhere along the Missouri River, when the artist James Vaulkhard puts down his brushes and picks up something else entirely. It’s not just a shift in medium—it’s a shift in listening. The land, he realises, won’t be captured through careful observation alone. It needs to be felt in motion, caught in the blur between beauty and grief, awe and unease.
Pallitt: Where Objects Become Art and the New Era of Art Collecting

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Over the years, the art world has witnessed a quiet revolution — one not led by critics or curators, but by trainers, cereal boxes, and handbags.
Cj Hendry’s New Exhibition, Keff Joons, Finds Levity in the Absurd

1 week ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

This spring, artist Cj Hendry returns with Keff Joons, an exhibition that reimagines the balloon—not as decoration or child’s toy, but as a curious study in form, tension, and collapse. Drawing inspiration from Jeff Koons and his glossy balloon menagerie, Hendry offers her own irreverent take: lopsided knots, misshapen curves, and the barely-inflated absurd. “Balloons are so simple, yet they carry this enormous emotional weight—joy, nostalgia, fragility,” Hendry said.
Zara Muse: The Art of Healing, the Power of Becoming

2 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

Five years ago, Alexandra Johnson was painting alone in her kitchen — children napping, the world locked down, grief still heavy in the air. There was no gallery representation, no auction buzz, no artist statement. Just paint, silence, and the steady scrape of a palette knife across canvas.
Mitch Griffiths: The Unsettling Realism of Flesh and Shadow

3 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

In an age hooked on dopamine hits, algorithmic approval, and swipe-sized intimacy, British artist Mitch Griffiths moves against the current—with the slow, deliberate gravity of oil paint. His canvases, rendered with Old Master precision, refuse to be ignored. They demand time, attention, and unease. Griffiths paints like someone out of time, yet acutely attuned to the present.
Elsa Rouy: What We Hide Beneath the Skin

3 weeks ago | artplugged.co.uk | Len Gordon

We all wear masks — one for the boss, one for the lover, another for the mirror. Which one tells the truth? Maybe none. Maybe survival means not asking. But the body remembers. That itch under the skin, that line you wish you never said, that night you wished to forget — it lingers. The truth always does, no matter how well we hide it. For the British artist Elsa Rouy, skin is not merely a biological boundary — it’s a threshold.
