With a lack of spaces in central London it is difficult for many artists to have an opportunity for their work to be shown. The Discerning Eye gives some of them a chance to exhibit their works in a London location and receive a deserved wider audience. This show also gives the public in return, a chance not just to view, but also to buy works of these artists at a time when many of their prices are very affordable.
As for my selection, I haven't really pinpointed any particular angle as to where the work is coming from and I don't feel any trend is represented.
I have however, picked work for some different reasons. These reasons include the artists' interest in the actual processes of making works and how these processes often achieve diverse ends in images that can engage you through strength or subtlety, mood or narrative.
Overall I hope people will take on board the honesty of the work on show.
