Review by and images c/o Larissa Archer: The Other Art Fair is a fair consisting of unrepresented artists in London, United Kingdom. Over 500 artists apply to exhibit; 90 are accepted.

Sarah Adams poses with paintings from her series, "Family Dinners," which she has stated was inspired by the need to feed hungry children, and her studies in environmental law. Many parents will find her portrayals of tired mothers and finicky children more familiar than more sentimentalized portrayals of family life.

Charming watercolors of women whose style we all want to steal-- the art by Bridget Davies. With just a few brushstrokes and splashes, Davies evokes the élan of the best fashion illustrations.

Art by James Hart Dyke for the Non-profit Maesha Kibera, or "Life" in Kibera, Nairobi. Dyke and three photographers spent a week in the slums of Nairobi capturing the scenes and people therein. I love how the roughness of his brushwork elicits a contrastingly calm, almost introspective quality in his subjects. Sensitive, elegant work.
