BBC 1's The Apprentice

I’ve just had one of our artists, Vanessa Warren drop some work off in the gallery. Late last year Vanessa was short listed and later selected to feature in an episode of BBC 1’s ‘The Apprentice’: due to air Wednesday 25th April.

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the set up of the series where the team of young entrepreneurs battle through a series of tasks in order to prove their worth to Sir Alan Sugar. In this episode the two teams had to put on an exhibition, each featuring two photographers work and see who could sell the most.

Working alongside Vanessa was fun and a great chance to get a sneak preview of some of the apprentices. Most had little understanding about art and were struggling to suppress their money driven attitude when talking to Vanessa – I’m interested to see the episode after it has been edited!

We’ve just hung a selection of Vanessa’s work in the entrance of the gallery and it looks stunning – such vivid colours! Come and see!

Why Blog?
Eyestorm has been the market leader for limited edition prints since the web was in its infancy, so over time we've become pretty opinionated on a bunch of art-related issues. So while we're here to provide you with the best art you can buy, we also wanted a flexible space through which to share our experience of working in the frenetic, ever-accelerating market for contemporary art. So this is it. The Eyestorm blog. Ups, downs, news, views and reviews.
