FLUX EXHIBITION
Launches Mini-Masterpieces for 2016 Edition

Now in it’s third edition, FLUX has established itself as the platform for contemporary artists to be discovered and to be part of an exceptional, unconventional art event.

Also launching exclusively at FLUX is a new and exciting concept Mini-Masterpieces where artists have created a smaller original for sale at £200 or less. Mini-Masterpieces is a great way for both new and seasoned collectors to purchase work from artists at a fraction of what their usual sized artwork is valued at.

Hosted by the iconic Old Truman Brewery in East London and curated by Lisa Gray founder of FLUX, this year’s much anticipated exhibition, represents a rare opportunity to gain access to a diverse group of 140 artists on the path of being the big names of tomorrow. FLUX celebrates dynamic artists on the precipice of wider accolade and fame.

Gray says “FLUX is the size of an art fair but is a carefully curated exhibition. It is a unique experience for both artists and art lovers as we showcase a collection of the most talented painters and sculptors alongside site specific installation, performance and music. The support we have gathered from both the public and the art community has cemented our place in the contemporary art world and allowed us to be even more creative this year.”

FLUX private view is widely known as the event to be at, where the evening comes alive with musical guests and performance artists which compliment the work and brings a new experimental approach to the exhibition.

Key artists in FLUX 2016 include:
