'Art Wars' unveiled at the inaugural Strarta Art Fair at the Saatchi Gallery from 9 to 13th October, and is being showcased on billboard posters by Art Below throughout Regent's Park Station up to the end of the month.
2013 marks the 10th year that Moore’s brother Tom has been missing. Proceeds from 'Art Wars' go to the ‘Missing Tom’ fund, which was started up specifically to raise money to support the search for Thomas Moore.
Tom left his family home in 2003. He was aged 31 years old. His friends and family have not heard from him since then. Now ten years on and with the support of the Missing People Charity, his family are reopening the search for Tom and have started up a website www.missingtom.com A short narrated film about Tom can be viewed here.

ELEANOR LINDSAY-FYNN
AT THE OTHER ART FAIR
Art Below was proud to represent artist Eleanor Lindsay-Fynn at The Other Art Fair this October.
The artist carried out a live performance at the opening event on Wednesday 17th October which was filmed and will be screened later on in November as part of her ongoing exhibition.
Her work 'blue masks' is featured at Regent's Park station as part of 'Art Below Regent's Park'.
This exhibition did not start off being about death – it became about death by chance. I was reflecting on my relationship with death and I could not see a way out. I have a lot of fear about death, my death, which I know will come, and that fear is peppered by the sense that I am not really living life as well as I could be.
There is a belief that if you live well, you die well. I am not yet convinced of it. However, I do know that we have a confused notion of what living well means here in the West. For me what is missing is a kind of humble gratitude and a general loving quite-ness. It is a sacred appreciation, head bent-hands raised felt sense of awe. A feeling of gratitude that reminds me of my smallness, the feeling is tinged with shame, a useful emotion that pulls me back from superficial living.
Being with this feeling is important to me, in those moments lessons are learnt and profound knowing replaces my habitual existential fears. These moments are what transpersonal psychotherapist Wilber would call as peak experiences, or what Freud calls a religious experience. However, dare I talk about this back in London? Dare I admit that I am exploring spirituality? Everyone has the capacity to have these moments but not necessarily take them seriously. The piece started because I wanted to break the taboo of talking about death, but I realise it’s not the death taboo I want to break; it is the spirituality one. Death, however, is my way in.
