Enter Gallery's Debut at London Original Print Fair with CCA Galleries

Last week, the Enter Gallery team had the pleasure of exhibiting at London Original Print Fair for the very first time, joining forces with our new family at CCA Galleries to showcase an exciting mix of new releases and celebrated artists.


For our Art Consultant Madi, it was a full-circle moment - connecting in person with collectors, discovering fresh inspiration, and flying the flag for Enter Gallery’s distinct energy in one of the UK’s most respected art fairs. Reflecting on her time at the stand, Madi said:

"Being part of LOPF has been so inspiring! It’s an incredible opportunity to showcase the dynamic and innovative work both Enter Gallery and CCA Galleries are known for. I’m especially excited to introduce the Peter Blake Marilyn Triptych – it’s such an iconic piece, and having the chance to show it to collectors in person is an absolute privilege."

 


Highlights on our stand included:

  • Marilyn is Marilyn, is Marilyn – A dazzling new triptych by Sir Peter Blake, published by CCA Galleries and printed on gold mirri board.

  • Vase of Arranged Flowers in a Wild Garden – A brand-new set of four prints by Bruce McLean, each in a different colourway and hand-embellished by the artist.

  • A curated selection of works by Enter Gallery artists including Richard Berner, Marcelina Amelia, and Elizabeth Waggett - all exhibited at LOPF for the very first time.

Richard Berner's contribution of a unique print sold quickly to one enthusiastic collector, while Marcelina Amelia visited the fair herself and was thrilled to see her edition, The Purification of Our Lady, Matka Bozia exhibited outside of Enter Gallery for the first time.


After the closure of our Brighton gallery space, being back in a lively, in-person environment felt incredibly special. Events like LOPF remind us why we do what we do - connecting with collectors, celebrating great art, and sharing memorable experiences.


It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces. Many of our collectors claimed their complimentary tickets from Enter Gallery to attend, and the feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s also a clear sign of the kinds of opportunities that have opened up since Enter Gallery joined the CCA Galleries family - benefiting both our artists and our customers.

We were also pleased to welcome members of the team from CCA Galleries International in Jersey, who joined us with exceptional new works by Kay Le Seelleur Ara - a body of work that certainly caught Art Consultant, Madi’s eye!

On the final day of LOPF, Gillian Duke, Managing Director of CCA Galleries, delivered an engaging talk on original printmaking, offering guests a rare behind-the-scenes look at the craft.

Gillian walked the audience through the rich history of CCA Galleries and Worton Hall Studios, explaining how the studio brings together multiple traditional print techniques under one roof. Using examples from artists such as Bruce McLean she demonstrated how artists like to leave their unique mark on every edition - layering inks, textures, and hand-finished elements to transform each print into something one-of-a-kind.


Guests even had the opportunity to handle the prints themselves, with many expressing surprise at the depth of craftsmanship and technique involved. Gillian used the example of Peter Blake’s USA print series to show how complex layering and multiple printing processes are combined to these highly-detailed results. Her insight into the creative collaboration between artist and printmaker, especially CCA’s philosophy of saying “yes” to artistic vision - left a lasting impression.

“We try not to make the compromise,” Gillian explained. “We try to approach it with the mindset of, how can we make that happen?”


As our debut at LOPF comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude - for the art, the conversations, and our amazing community. Thanks to all who joined us, visited the stand, or supported from afar.
