Just like last year, painting is in abundance at Frieze London, while sculptural and three-dimensional works seem to have taken a step back, retreating closer to the comfort of the walls.
Renowned for her immersive installations, large-scale sculptures, infinity rooms, and her use of polka dots and bright colours, Yayoi Kusama is one of the most well-known contemporary artists.

“Six years ago, Isabela opened the door to the enchanting world of art for me, and since then, our excursions to London’s museums have become cherished traditions. With Isabela as my steadfast companion and guide, each visit transcends mere observation, immersing us in the profound narratives and emotions woven into the fabric of every masterpiece…

“This morning I had a blast! London Art Walk was just the cherry on the pie, Isabela was so inspiring, she enlighten us with her kindness and professionalism, guiding us in the Sarah Lucas Happy Gas exhibition. A very powerful experience. I highly recommend London Art Walk if you want to enjoy and understand fully especially if you are not expert like me!”

“Had a blast at Sarah Lucas’s exhibition in Tate Britain today with Isabela guiding us. Isabela’s take on the art added a cool vibe to the whole experience, making it way more than just your average museum visit. Sarah Lucas’s stuff was wild, and Isabela made sure we got the most out of it. Super fun day!”

“What a great experience we had, although very knowledgeable, Martina kept the afternoon light as she took us all into many artist’s own worlds. Truly enjoyable tour!”
by M. C. on 9th November 2023
“Amazing talk. Highly recommended. This is an amazing experience for anyone interested in art. @London_Art_Walk is really worth it for the most up to date and informative experience in the art scene. Thank you so much Isabella!”

“I had a fantastic experience with London Art Walks during the Frieze London 2023. I am familiar with visiting art museus and galleries, but it was my first time at the event and seeing the works in a guided walk made all the difference. Isabela Galvao and Martina took their time to make a careful selection of booths to show fantastic works of both estabilished and not-so-well-known artists, so each step of the walk was beautifully interconnected with the next one, helping us to get a broader view of what is happening in the art scene!
I strongly recommend it!”

“Best art related tour in London! They work with the best guides. Selected university teachers and museum curators are the kind of guides they use. I really recommend!”

“I am a young collector from Brazil but based in the UK. I first came across Isabela on Instagram where I followed her insightful comments on a number of exhibitions both in Brazil and the UK. (…) In the process of arriving at these artists, Isabela asked many questions to better understand my personal taste for art, my approach to art collecting and the space in which these would ultimately be displayed; her suggestions showed a clear understanding of what I was looking for. She was also helpful in the post-sales process, namely by ensuring a transatlantic art shipment ran smoothly and maintaining contact throughout. All in I found Isabela to be very professional and enjoyable to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her service and will be considering her help in future purchases.”

“When I moved into my new apartment, I brought some paintings which were already part of my collection, but I didn’t know how to hang them in the space. So I asked Isabela to help me with the hanging and to advise me on purchasing new artworks. It took a few days of searching through galleries and she showed me what she thought was most suitable for my collection. She placed the works on the walls and I bought this beautiful set of small paintings on paper. As an interior designer, I liked the idea of a series of works that deal with architectural elements and bring colours and light to my living room. The result was incredible; without Isabela’s consultancy, it would not have turned out so nicely.”

“Navigating the intricate world of art is no easy feat, but with Isabela by my side, the journey became not only manageable but truly enjoyable. Her deep understanding, passion for art, and strong connections in the art world were invaluable. With her guidance, I successfully acquired a remarkable artwork by Emmy Bridgwater from the renowned Mayor Gallery. Isabela’s keen eye and unparalleled expertise ensured that I made an informed and heartful decision. I’m immensely grateful for her unwavering support and dedication. To anyone looking to deepen their connection with art and benefit from insider knowledge, I wholeheartedly recommend Isabela’s unmatched guidance.”

“The visit was great. We had a very good and enthusiastic explanation not only about her work but also her path. I had a really nice time with London Art Walk. It was really “fluid” I didn’t even feel the time passing. Besides the visit itself, I had a really good chance to meet new people interested in art.”

“Hi Isabela, just wanted to thank you for walking me through the exhibition yesterday. I had a wonderful time, and the knowledge you shared truly gave me a deeper understanding of the artwork of Klint and Mondrian. This allowed for a different perspective that I would have never gotten, had I gone by myself. Tate gallery’s guide, James, was also a lovely surprise and offered some very interesting and fun insight. I left the exhibition feeling so inspired and I will definitely be joining other events and tours organised by the London Art Walk. Congratulations for your amazing work.”

“Informative and engaging in using simple language. It was very inclusive the way it was organised. I liked the chilled atmosphere and the exchange of ideas between all the participants.”
by B. L. on 28th June 2023
“This was a wonderful and engaging art tour with an exceptionally knowledgeable and charming guide. The Tour itself was well-executed and easy to navigate, with the right allocation of time and activities during the time together. A coffee introduction ahead of the tour was a very nice touch and it allowed the group to meet and chat, before experiencing the tour together.”
by M. B. on 19th June 2023
“From the start, the ‘London Art Walk’ tour made the ‘Hilma Af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life’ exhibition at the Tate Modern a lively and enlightening experience. The lecture before the walk gave us a solid understanding of Af Klint’s and Mondrian’s artistic paths, and the educator, with his impressive knowledge and friendly style, brought the tour to life. (…) The explanations provided highlighted the common vision and unique journeys of Af Klint and Mondrian, massively boosting my understanding and appreciation of their work – something I would have likely missed if I’d visited the exhibition alone. In short, ‘London Art Walk’ didn’t just show us beautiful art, but provided a memorable journey through abstract art that has left a lasting impression.”
by C. D. on 10th May 2023
“Having the art historian placing Hilma Af Klint and Mondrian in context within each other was valuable for my visit. The lecture (more a conversation that happened in a cafe across the gallery) was not only valuable information but also an ice breaker for the group to know each other and being less timid to ask questions. The exhibition showed me the trajectory of each artist allowing me to understand them more. The group visit will allow me to go back to the exhibition with a different gaze. Mondrian’s watercolour White Rose in a Glass (1921) stayed in my memory.”
by M. H. D. on 10th May 2023
“It was a wonderful tour and I really enjoyed a lot. If there’s one thing I would suggest is ‘coffee chat’ time after the tour, so people can share their thought about the exhibition + more. The introduction and informality made me feel confident and easy to ask questions.”

“My husband and I were looking for a piece of art for our dining room wall for a long time. But – without Isabela’s help -we were not successful. It was with Isabela’s inspiring help that we purchased an art piece by Lele Rehder, whom we didn’t know before. Isabela knew how to identify what we were looking for, bringing to us the meaning of Lele Rehder’s works. She explained technically how the art was made, gave us the background of the artist, and how her career evolved throughout the years. (…) The result was not only the purchase itself, but she inspired us to want to know more about art with her deep knowledge and passion. We wouldn’t have been able to make such a perfect purchase if it weren’t for Isabela’s professional assistance. We will certainly count on her with new acquisitions and recommend her.”
