New exhibition “The Art of the Game” celebrates the art of chess in London this October

Purling presents new display showcasing the fusion of art and strategy, through exquisite art chess sets by renowned artists such as Sophie Matisse and Sickboy

This autumn, luxury games company Purling is adding a splash of colour to London’s energetic art scene, as they present The Art of the Game – an inspiring new exhibition at 67 York Street Gallery in Marylebone, celebrating the unique fusion of art and strategy through exquisite art chess sets.

Purling has always aimed to reinvent traditional games, infusing them with colour, art, and craftsmanship. Their luxurious chess sets, crafted from materials such as ebony, boxwood, maple, and alabaster, and finished with Italian Nappa leather base felts embossed in 18-carat gold, stand as a testament to their commitment to quality and aesthetic excellence.

The Art of the Game showcases not only these stunning chess sets but also includes a selection of paintings and drawings by participating artists, including Sophie Matisse – granddaughter of the renowned impressionist Henri Matisse, Bristol-born street artist Sickboy, and Polish-born artist Gosia Łapsa-Malawska, also Creative Director of Purling, whose works are inspired by the ‘Young Polish Movement’ and Japanese aestheticism. This unique blend of playable art pieces and visual art highlights Purling's dedication to creating games that are both visually captivating and enjoyable to play.

Zsoka Gaal, Hungarian Woman International Master (WIM) of chess, is the official Brand Ambassador for Purling and will be attending the exhibition opening, alongside her trainer, Grandmaster Gabor Papp. Zsoka won the title of Woman International Master in 2021 at the age of 14 years old and is a legend in the chess world.

With The Art of the Game, Purling continues to elevate the world of games through artistry and craftsmanship and expand upon their mission to bring traditional games to life in new and beautiful ways. This extraordinary exhibition is a must-see experience for all art lovers, chess players, Londoners, and those with a taste for the finer things in life.
