LOVE, AFFECTION & ACCEPTANCE


AN INTERACTIVE AND ENGAGING EXHIBITION BY OUR FEATURED AND GUEST ARTISTS



Alongside our 60+ exhibiting artists, we have invited a selection of leading
illustrators and designers to help us put on a show for you at LIF2023. Our
invited artists will be exploring the themes of love, affection and acceptance
in their work. These will culminate in a series of interactive installations,
panel discussions and workshops around the venue.

Leading the charge is renowned designer Annie Frost Nicholson. Annie is our
Featured Artist for LIF2023 and will be creating an interactive installation for
our entrance space. Joining her on the love train will be Guest Artists Hayley
Wall and Rhoda Villeages who are both creating interactive works using Augmented
Reality to bring their illustrations to life.





FEATURED ARTIST


ANNIE FROST NICHOLSON - LOVE LANGUAGE


INTERACTIVE MURAL



Annie Frost Nicholson (formerly The Fandangoe Kid) is a London-based
multidisciplinary artist whose work seeks to smash taboos around the nuanced
complexities of the human condition. Through a curious, colourful and considered
lens, Frost Nicholson’s practice looks at what it means to be alive, and her
preoccupation with life, death, grief and all their permeations follows her own
devastating loss of family members twelve years ago, at the age of twenty-seven.

The London Illustration Fair will be working closely with Annie to create a new
installation work for the fair that will explore how we express our Love
Language. Annie is asking you to express your own Love Language through words
and dance with this uniquely interactive artwork.

> “Love Languages dedicates itself to our collective expression of care and the
> myriad ways we show affection. We communicate love so differently from one
> another, sometimes with such diversity that we may as well be speaking another
> language, the structure varies, the tone is unexpected. Love Languages is a
> way to unite these narratives and help us to understand one another better, to
> delight in each other’s difference and celebrate our breadth of expression.”

— Annie

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GUEST ARTISTS

> “‘Who We Really A.R.’ explores the real-life world of PDA (public displays of
> affection), the perception of what relationships look like, and highlights the
> role of the observer. Ultimately, it hopes to illustrate the joy and fun of
> love across a range of LGBTQ+, interracial, extramarital, cultural, and
> religious dialogues.”

— Voxie


VOXIE - WHO WE REALLY A.R.

Emerging artist Voxie will be bringing her augmented reality exhibition ‘Who We
Really A.R'.’ to this year’s Fair. Watch on as her illustrations come to life
with vivid colour before your eyes using phone-based A.R. technology.

Voxie is a British Filipina illustrator & animator born in South London. She
identifies as queer (she/they) and is obsessed with art and digital technology.
Her visuals are inspired by a fusion of comics, manga, vintage graphics and 80s
cartoons.

HAYLEY WALL - A.R. LOVE EXHIBITION

Hayley Wall is an artist and illustrator based in South East London, UK.
Hayley’s work highlights the struggles and joys of queer and disabled people as
their bodies move through the world. Hayley has a keen eye for social justice
and their work challenges and reframes dominant perspectives around disability,
mental health, queerness, and gender, while simultaneously celebrating the
resilience and vitality of oft-marginalized identities. Hayley’s illustrations
are thought-provoking and aim to boldly challenge conventional and rigid
notions, inviting viewers to embrace a more inclusive and empathetic worldview.

She will be exploring the theme of love through her artwork by creating digital
sculptures that will flower and come to life within the fair's project space..

MILLIE YARWOOD + BEAVERTOWN BREWERY



Millie is a recent graduate from Nottingham Trent BA Illustration who caught our
eye this summer when we joined New Designers to judge the award for best
Illustration course. Her 3D characters were so fun and we see a bright future
for here within the illustration world.

We have partnered with Beavertown Brewery to commission Millie to redesign our
bar for The London Illustration Fair 2023 with a mural and a number of lifesize,
3D characters to join visitors in the Bar. We can’t wait to have a drink with
them!




> “Hi I’m Millie. I’m an illustrator and muralist from Birmingham. My work is
> often inspired by disco music which translates into my use of bold colours and
> playful long-limbed characters. Frequently my images represent community and
> togetherness, but most importantly I like them to be fun! ”
