Viewing Anya Hindmarch reinvents the classic corner shop

Similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio.

“I’ve always had a fascination with taking an everyday thing – a household brand, a day-to-day food item – and elevating it, using artistry and craftsmanship to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary,” says Anya Hindmarch. Stocking the shelves of the newly opened Anya Mart – the designer’s take on the traditional corner shop – you’ll find everything from limited-edition candles inspired by Heinz Ketchup and Baked Beans to Pritt Stick pencil cases, Fruit Pastille-replica charms, and Pringle-sloganned raffia totes. Stop by her latest concept store to pick up your everyday essentials.

Cristina de Miguel: Dissolving

Almine Rech, Broadbent House, Grosvenor Hill, W1K 3JH
29 February – 6 April 2024

Bodies melt and morph in the wild, gestural paintings of Spanish artist Cristina de Miguel. There’s a delicious streak of risk to the works in her solo show, Dissolving, at Almine Rech, created by applying acrylic on to wet surfaces. It’s as if she is letting go, freeing the body from its rigid confines and allowing it to distort as it pleases. The result is highly expressive works that radiate their own energy. The physicality of the paint itself also comes to the fore.
