Street artist Endless created a new artwork, Endless Frieze, in Notting Hill, London, that honours people who shape the area’s identity.
Endless photographed locals during a live event on Friday, then immediately displayed their portraits as part of the installation during the annual Frieze London art fair. The artwork includes Cheryl Devlin, a fourth-generation fruit and vegetable seller at Portobello Market, and Jama Elmi, a local man known for his style.
The exhibition also features Allyson Williams, a board member of Notting Hill Carnival Limited involved in the carnival's organisation since 1975, and Karl Amata, who works at a local record shop. Participants spoke about the changing character of Notting Hill, with Devlin noting a decline in traditional market stalls and rising housing costs. Endless described the work as a way to bring the community into the art world, embracing risk and spontaneity in its creation.
The installation, displayed at the Cris Contini Contemporary Gallery, is designed to capture a moment in time, the architecture, buildings, and people, and will remain on view until the end of October.
