\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrew Logan: Around the World in 80 Years at Rebecca Hossack Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

Prepare to be dazzled in this survey show, looking back at the work of Andrew Logan<\/a>, the man behind the Alternative Miss World. Reflections are everywhere as they glint off the sunlight coming through the window, and visitors can even sit on a mirrored throne with a sun hanging above them. He\u2019s immortalised creatives through mosaic and sculpture, as varied as Zandra Rhodes, Maggi Hambling and Mickey Mouse. It\u2019s time to step into his glittering, joyful and fantastical world. Until 11th October, free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sho Shibuya: Falling from the Sky at Unit London<\/a><\/p>\n

We all love that sense of being inside while it rains outside, watching the drops roll down the window. Sho Shibuya captures that sensation in phenomenal hyper-real trompe l\u2019oeil paintings. Each one is painted on his favoured medium of a copy of the New York Times, and it\u2019s both a meditative process for him to create and for us to observe. Until 21st September, free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ollie White: Something Borrowed at Haricot Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n

What can you tell from a pair of shoes? Do they tell you something about the owner? Do they have a personality of their own? Ollie White has been captivated by their curves and reflections, painting them from above, often in their boxes, occasionally outside of them. It reminds me of the consumerist society we live in and the unboxing videos that go viral on social media. Until 27th September, free.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She Paints Still: Alexandra Baraitser and Yu Xiao at Mandy Zhang Art & Tiderip<\/a><\/p>\n

The works of two women artists are displayed across two women-run gallery spaces in London, across Marylebone and Battersea. Alexandra Baraitser\u2019s paintings take spaces designed for human presence, such as a train station or a staircase and ask us to focus on what these spaces become without people in them. While Yu Xiao takes the standards of an artwork and subverts them, so frames appear on canvases instead of around them and the canvases themselves bend and twist. Until 4th October, free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rose Shakinovsky: Encrypted<\/a> & Claire Gavronsky: Women\u2019s Way<\/a> at Goodman Gallery<\/p>\n

These two artists are life partners, but their works, spread across both floors of the gallery,\u00a0 couldn\u2019t be more different. Upstairs, Rose Shakinovsky takes digital images of global crises, strips them back to blocks of colour so they\u2019re unrecognisable and then paints them. While downstairs, Claire Gavronsky creates tender portraits of women and children embracing. Until 1st October, free.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
