Fleur

Fleur MacDonald's evident fascination with lambs is merely one aspect which is compelling about her compact Kings Cross apartment, which also functions as a working studio. She tells me her two favourite art movements of all time make perfect bed partners here - Bauhaus and Rococo - order and simplicity in abundance...


Being an artist herself hasn't stopped her from admiring and paying good money for other artists' work, and there are hundreds of pieces in this apartment, admittedly not all hanging. There are countless treasures to be marvelled at - Fleur's own work, works by bright young things Jake Walker, Stephanie Monteith and Diablo Mode, as well as more familiar names (Susan Norrie for example) and a few names now almost forgotten


There are so many works in Fleur's apartment - brilliantly hung very tightly to fit as many works in - so I'll only tag a few works here - if you recognise any of these works, please feel free to comment...

A Stephanie Monteith painting of a cistern marks the entrance to the bathroom




Artist's tools, storage, another of Fleur's lambs, a Jake Walker interior, a Diablo Mode turntable all fit neatly
