Friend of the Artist Highlights

Friend of the Artist is a platform and quarterly print publication dedicated to showcasing the work of talented emerging artists from all over the world. Each volume is curated by a panel of experienced jurors who work together to carefully select the top artists’ works, rendering  every edition unique, whilst featuring a diversity of aesthetics and ideas. During these turbulent times when our “normal” continues to evolve, we find this particular volume of FOA to be relevant to the overall practice of viewing art. As more galleries have closed their doors and taken their exhibitions online, making art interactions a “visual only” experience, the gift of standing before a work of art, which is contextualised within its surroundings, is no longer taken for granted. Through these printed volumes, FOA can continue to provide a physical encounter for the viewer, to not only absorb the works in a tactile form, but also experience them in context, amongst other carefully curated works. In FOA’s Volume 12, 40 artists from 9 different countries are proudly featured working in an array of mediums, hand selected by international expert jurors including Natasha Arselan, Adrian Zuñiga, Roya Sachs, and Justin Archer.
