Frieze London’s (@friezeofficial) Focus section shines a light on the most exciting young galleries from across the globe. This year’s line-up includes four new galleries, all leading names amongst London’s new generation of gallerists who offer a fresh take both on London’s art scene, and the fair itself. 

Elephant sat down with all four galleries and their artists and asked them how they were feeling about Frieze 2023. 

Harlesden High Street (@harlesdenhighstreet) is about as anti-establishment as a gallery showing at Frieze can get. The gallery opened in 2020, but gallerist Jonny Tanna (@jonnytanna) has been organising shows in Harlesden since 2017 – Harlesden is a far cry from the blue chip mecca of Soho. Rather, it is, as Tanna told Elephant earlier this year, ‘the last place in London that hasn’t been gentrified.’

Harlesden High Street is showing the work of Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy (@mattia.guarnera) and Hamed Maiye (@mai_ye) – neither artist has had a traditional art education, and now they are exhibiting at Frieze. The two artists are presenting a booth that replicates the set of The Junior Christian Teaching Bible Lesson Show, a public access television show which aired in the United States from 1988 to 2008; it consisted largely of a stage for puppets and a seat for the host, David Liebe Hart. Guarnera-MacCarthy and Maiye’s work explores two new visions of religion, one centred on personal experience and storytelling, the other on contemporary fashion and the modern-day aesthetics of religion.
