We’ve finally reached the end of the line. We set a record this year with eleven categories in our best of 2009 review, and as always, we’ve saved the best until last. Our third favourite artiste of 2009 was AJ Fosik, whose colourful, intricate animal masks will leave you awestruck. Our second favourite artiste was Ryohei Hase, whose work is dark and disturbing, but strangely appealing. His illustrations will ensure that you never again think of rabbits as cute and cuddly. And finally, the artiste we enjoyed above all others was Xavier Veilhan, whose displayed his Contemporary Art at Château de Versailles. The works ranged from abstract purple horses of Le Carrosse to the deceased astronaut, aka Le Gisant Youri Gagarine. All in all, the crisp modernity of Veilhan’s pieces were perfectly contrasted by the historic surroundings of The Palace of Versailles.
