British Art Fair 2026: Stand 44, 1st Floor, Saatchi Gallery, London, SW3 4RY,
Cavaliero Finn is excited to be showing the ceramic work of Krzysztof Strzelecki (b. 1993, Poland) for the first time at this year's British Art Fair at the end of September. A London-based artist working primarily in ceramics, Krzysztof has presented solo exhibitions at Anat Ebgi in Los Angeles and New York, and at Taymour Grahne Projects, London. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the British Ceramics Biennial, and is held in the collections of the RISD Museum and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Krzysztof's practice explores queer intimacy and the spatial conditions in which desire unfolds, using ceramic sculpture to rethink architecture, the body, and public space. Drawing on Christian iconography and ancient mythology, his work considers the relationship between the contemporary body and its historical representations, often positioning the figure between vulnerability and idealisation.
Engaging deeply with queer culture, Krzysztof examines how different societies negotiate LGBTQ+ visibility, acceptance, and prejudice. Referencing cruising culture, personal memory, and urban environments, he reimagines functional and architectural forms such as vases, urinals, and fountains as sculptural sites of erotic tension, coded language, and collective experience.
We will be showing several works from Krzysztof's Cruising Fantasies series inspired by the Greek Gods where figures gather to feast and entertain the divine through ritual and celebration. The vessel evokes a world where desire, abundance and sensuality are embraced as pathways to the divine. The unglazed surface recalls the appearance of Ancient Greek ceramics while the imagery brings themes of desire, pleasure and companionship into dialogue with classical mythology.
Also drawing from mythology, constellations and man’s place in the landscape, is artist Simon Gaiger who has made some spectacular sculptures for the fair including, Landscape with Constellation and Sentinel.
Simon utilises found objects into his work saying, "They’re the things around us that reflect our lives – as material for art they are beyond their original use or broken pieces that are free to use in another guise. Found objects harness the instinctive childlike response to anthropomorphize – to give a new life to a fragment and to enjoy sharing the recognition of that translation with other people or the pleasure of disguising it from them. Taken out of their original context found objects provide powerful abstract elements."
David Edmond's paintings are from his ongoing series, At the Edge. The subjects are self-built homes and boathouses on a muddy creek at Broadness Harbour on the Thames Estuary; a study of the creative free spirit under threat from the homogenisation of society. At the time of writing, the last occupant of Broadness Harbour has recently been evicted after 34 years, the buildings and community destroyed in the name of future development. These humble dwellings stood on the edge, both socially and geographically - and it is precisely these quality that have drawn and inspired David, much as the humble dwellings Rembrandt depicted once did.
We’re delighted to be showing two paintings by Joseph Goody at the British Art Fair. There is an immediate vibrancy and energy to Joseph’s canvases. His work brings together a considered, well-thought-out approach to painting with a wonderful sense of spontaneity and intuition. The result is work that can feel carefully constructed and instinctive at the same time.
Joseph explores the relationship between colour, shape and layered textures in his work. Some forms sit clearly on the surface, while others merge, overlap or become partially obscured within the layers beneath. At times, shapes seem almost to fuse together, creating a sense of movement and encouraging the eye to travel around the canvas.
Colour is equally instinctive. Rather than working to a predetermined palette, Joseph allows colours to emerge organically as he paints. Combined with his deft handling of paint, this gives each work its own natural rhythm and energy.
It is this combination of structure and spontaneity that gives Joseph’s paintings their distinctive character. The longer you spend with them, the more the relationships between colour, shape and surface begin to reveal themselves. Different elements come forward and recede, allowing the paintings to continually shift and offering something new with each viewing.
We look forward to seeing you at the British Art Fair when we will also show work by metal artist Juliette Bigley and textile artist Richard McVetis.
