Oc-Eo Art specialises in original contemporary and modern fine art from Vietnam, China and Georgia, as well as sculpture and fine art photography. Gallery owner Peter Quintana (pictured) says: “At the cultural borders of East and West, our artists produce work that is neither Asian nor European but a unique fusion of influences, reflecting the diversity of the world in which we live and underlining the richness of art when it refuses to be divided by race or creed.”
This is not the first time Oc-Eo has received royal recognition. Peter recently presented an exhibition of Vietnamese art for HRH the Duke of York at the opening gala event for Vietnam Culture in the UK (see photo below). Prince Andrew is keen on Vietnamese painting and has a large private collection.
About the Windsor Contemporary Art Fair
The Fair (www.windsorcontemporaryartfair.co.uk) is now in it fifth successful year and is the leading contemporary art exhibition outside London. More than 100 contemporary artists, sculptors, ceramicists and photographers from around the UK and the rest of the world will be exhibiting their work.
“Our theme this year is art for all,” say Fair organisers Sarah McAllister and Deborah James. “We want people to come along and find out what contemporary art is all about. Visitors will have the chance to see and buy pieces of extraordinary originality, whether they are collectors or just want something eye-catching for their home.
“The Fair promises to be fun, vibrant, exciting and incredibly creative. It’s a great chance to meet Peter and talk to him about the artists’ work.”
