Friend of Leon turned international on Thursday night hosting an exhibition of works by New York artist and designer Sara Blake.

Blake’s collection was a fascinating insight into her process. The collection included a her detailed and evocative sketches as concept drawings for her digitally coloured masterpeices.

The front room of the gallery was hung with Blake’s finished digital works. Each on display represented a print in limited edition of 6. And sales were on fire – a credit to the Blake and her gallery that they generated so much (well deserved) interest.

Wind - Sara Blake, pencil & watercolour
A series of original sketches and concept drawings adorned the walls at the rear of the gallery. These sketches were beautiful.

The gallery was packed with excited art lovers. Polite elbows were employed to get a look at the works, not to mention to get to the bar for one of the gallery’s signature cocktails.
As the crowd dispersed we took our cue. Great show.
