SUMMARY:Yuko Shiraishi: Through
DESCRIPTION:Annely Juda Fine Art is delighted to announce a new exhibition entitled Through from artist Yuko Shiraishi. Through presents a series of exquisite recent paintings and a major new architectural installation; ‘Bunk Bed Odyssey – Parallel Lullaby’. \nShiraishi is recognised for her abstract canvases with delicate layered brushwork and transparent washes revealing nuances of light and colour in bands or carefully placed dots and circles. New paintings in this exhibition reference Shiraishi’s long-standing fascination with dreams\, which spans the scientific and the poetic and goes beyond the dreams we remember. \n‘Bunk Bed Odyssey – Parallel Lullaby’ is a new installation work in Shiraishi’s ongoing ‘Imaginary Architectural Project’ series which includes previous works: ‘Space Elevator Tea House’\, ‘Confession Box’ ‘Ancient Egyptian Tomb’ and  ‘pass age’.  This new piece examines the space that exists between two people sleeping on a bunk bed; they might be family\, friends or strangers – and the location a house\, train\, ship\, prison\, hotel or school – physically occupying the same space but in their sleep\, dreams taking them to completely different places. Shiraishi has said previously that her installation works also tap directly into her interests in the theory of the universe\, architecture\, space\, humans and history and cites a multitude of influences spanning her Japanese cultural heritage\, Taoist philosophy and western influences including science fiction writers and film makers such as Arthur C Clarke The Fountains of Paradise theorist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Stanley Kubric’s 2001 A Space Odyssey.  With ‘Bunk Bed Odyssey – Parallel Lullaby’ Shiraishi says that the idea for this work came directly to her in a dream…

SUMMARY:Audit
DESCRIPTION:Audit\, the solo exhibition by Reinis Lismanis at the Gerald Moore Gallery\, continues the artist’s investigation of everyday processes\, labour\, and the materiality of image-making\, while contemplating notions of quality\, success\, and failure in both art and daily life. The show’s title draws on the etymology of the word\, which originates from the Latin “auditus\,” meaning “a hearing.” In contemporary usage\, an audit implies a systematic examination or review. For Lismanis\, this concept of “taking stock” became literal as he moved studios\, offering an opportunity to reevaluate the methods and materials present in his creative practice. Audit runs from 12th September to 12 October 2024. The private view is on Thursday 12th September 2024 from 6 – 8pm. \nLismanis broadens his repertoire of techniques\, combining inkjet ink\, spray paint\, printed imagery\, and repurposed advertising banners to create new works on canvas. This approach reflects his interest in giving new life to discarded or previously rejected materials and exploring the ephemeral nature of commercial image-making. A crucial aspect of this new body of work is the artist’s experimental approach to printing on canvas. Using an old inkjet printer\, Lismanis folds and forces larger canvases through the device\, embracing the unpredictability and serendipitous outcomes that arise from this process. This method embodies his fascination with the intersection of intentionality and chance in art-making\, while also serving as a metaphor for navigating constraints in both artistic and quotidian contexts.

SUMMARY:Monsoon Clouds and Golden Orioles: The essential beauty of Indian miniature painting
DESCRIPTION:The Gerald Moore Gallery is pleased to present Monsoon Clouds and Golden Orioles – The essential beauty of India miniature painting\, a solo exhibition by Jacqueline Synnott from 12th to 28th September 2024 in the Paul Henderson Gallery (1st floor). The private view will be on Thursday 12th September from 6 to 8pm. \nAs a creative artist\, Synnott is interested in the age-old ways of depicting people and the natural world\, as well as the traditional tools and techniques used for centuries in the creation of illuminated manuscripts and the elaborate patterned borders on an Arts and Crafts mural. \nHer Eurasian heritage has been a very valuable and significant influence on her art. Her mother\, who is also an artist\, was born and raised in Pakistan and she often shared her warm and colourful memories of the rich landscapes\, the humid monsoon season and details of certain birds\, flowers and trees with Synnott growing up. For the artist\, these visuals and stories from her mother’s memory carry a strong sense of nearness within her own paintings.

SUMMARY:Ella Walker: The Romance of the Rose
DESCRIPTION:Pilar Corrias is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by artist Ella Walker at its Savile Row gallery. \nFor her first exhibition with the gallery\, Walker intricately weaves imagery from broad swathes of history and popular culture – medieval manuscripts to modern ballet\, the cinema of Fellini and Pasolini to fetishwear magazines – to produce emotive\, stage-like scenes. Interrogating traditional depictions of women throughout art history\, Walker’s paintings offer a counterpoint to the traditional casting of female subjects as exemplars of vice and virtue. Freed from this moral framework\, her figures are recalibrated\, reentering the world of images as complex\, contradictory\, unruly beings. \nThe exhibition takes as its point of departure the thirteenthcentury French poem\, The Romance of the Rose\, in which a lover hunts for an object to love. The allegorical tale of courtly love is replete with patriarchal language – the repeated references to ‘plucking’ the perfect ‘rosebud’ underscore the imperativeness of feminine chastity and the process of deflowering as a chivalrous project. As he attempts to navigate love’s true course\, the narrator encounters a series of generic female characters representing various vices\, including Idleness\, Avarice\, Hatred and Envy\, all of whom serve as cautionary obstacles. In Walker’s compositions\, however\, this chorus of archetypes are relieved of their duties. Each figure becomes self-sufficient\, with their own interior life.

SUMMARY:Liorah Tchiprout: I love the flames\, but not the embers
DESCRIPTION:In new paintings\, Tchiprout presents moments of intimacy and community\, staging hand-made dolls in a world that is self-referential and protected. Her dolls are modelled after herself and her peers\, female protagonists from Yiddish literature\, and historical figures including the Jewish dancer Els Keezer. In painting figures that are activated by their expressions and likenesses\, though lifeless in their slack physique\, Tchiprout muddies the boundary between imaginary and real\, animate and inanimate. However\, despite her depiction of gentle touches\, sisterhood\, care\, and communion – experiences drawn from her Jewish upbringing – Tchiprout’s dolls are not entirely immune to our challenging reality. Cast in deeply psychological spaces\, drawing on emotions of longing or exclusion\, Tchiprout’s paintings address what the artist views as an intrinsically Jewish tradition of finding joy within pain\, and catharsis through connection and memory. \nHaving established her career in printmaking\, Tchiprout paints the different textures and materials of her dolls – modelling clay\, human hair\, vintage fabric and wood – with direct and graphic brushstrokes. She builds warm-toned layers of oil paint with the same logic as a monotype. In I know where I stand with the skylarks\, Tchiprout’s palette is at its most vibrant\, with vert olives\, bismuth and lemon yellows casting a bilious glow reminiscent of early 20th century German Expressionism. Influenced by the intensity of artists including Kathë Kollowitz and Paula Modersohn-Becker\, Tchiprout’s thick\, decisive line-making and bold\, non-naturalistic colour invite a tension within the dreamy\, quiet realm that her subjects inhabit. Though the painting’s title\, a reference to English poet Christina Rossetti’s 1864 poem Twice\, has associations with longing and romance\, the artist counterbalances the intimacy and comfort of the scene with foreboding veils of dark brushstrokes. Tchiprout’s central figure casts a nervous glance sideways\, wary of an unseen disturbance\, or even the presence of the viewer. The comfortable stillness between the sitters is threatened\, implying an awareness of the fragility of their world

SUMMARY:Landscape\, Reimagined [SAATCHI Gallery]
DESCRIPTION:BEERS London returns to Saatchi Gallery with The Landscape\, Reimagined\, a group exhibition including eight internationally-based emerging and mid-career artists who reinterpret the conventions of landscape painting as radical and contemporary. \nThe landscape is among the most traditional of subject matter. For British audiences\, artists like Turner\, Constable\, and Gainsborough are synonymous with a history of landscape painting. But in recent years\, the painted landscape has been reinvigorated with fresh styles that push the limits of this timeless tradition. \nThe eight artists here are interested in pushing the boundaries of landscape through technique\, interpretation\, or even utilizing representational modes that toy with digital and analog modules. These contemporary landscape painters embrace both crude\, abstract tendencies and forward-thinking new formats. Whether utilizing digital image-mapping techniques (Quiñonez) or a wildly unconventional colour palette (Bader)\, these artists bring a topsy-turvy\, and wholly unexpected approach to landscape painting. From the dreamlike textures of (British\, Australia-based) Ross Taylor or the impasto\, reductive technique of (Canadian\, US-based) Caroline Larsen\, these works resituate the landscape within a contemporary art context.

SUMMARY:Battle Cat\, Adam Hogarth
DESCRIPTION:Battle Cat is a new collection of drawings and prints that explore post-nuclear legacies\, destructivism\, folklore and storytelling by artist Adam Hogarth. \n“We all desire the future to turn out more happily than I have figured it. In particular we desire our present civilization to advance steadily toward some kind of Utopia. The thought that it may decay and collapse\, and that all its spiritual treasure may be lost irrevocably\, is repugnant to us. Yet this must be faced as at least a possibility.” Olaf Stapledon\, ‘Last and First Men’. \nThere was a disaster! A house of cards teetering on oblivion finally toppled. Under their own top-heavy weight\, political and bureaucratic structural systems of yesteryear finally collapsed. A series of nuclear wars ensued\, followed by a complete ecological and environmental disintegration. Crops collapsed and as nuclear reactors failed one by one\, huge swathes of land\, and oceans became contaminated and uninhabitable. Inevitably\, the excess of nuclear meltdown finally permeated the entire earth. \n“No more Internet. No more social media\, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches\, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken\, plans to meet up later\, pleas\, complaints\, desires\, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween.” Emily St. John Mandel\, ‘Station Eleven’.

SUMMARY:Nathalie Olah on Beryl Cook
DESCRIPTION:Writer Nathalie Olah leads a talk in response to the art of Beryl Cook. \nSituating Cook in the British mid-century\, Olah explores the artist’s work in relation to the academic interests of that time — namely pop-culture as a relatively new phenomenon\, and the spread of American soft power through its entertainment machine. With reference to writers and theorists including Raymond Williams\, Richard Haggard and Stuart Hall\, Olah offers a re-reading of Cook’s practice. \nThis event forms part of our Saturday Talks series\, in which artists\, curators and writers lead personal responses to Beryl Cook / Tom of Finland. These talks\, readings and performances are an opportunity to explore specific aspects of the exhibition\, from ‘bad taste’ to class tourism\, masculinity and sexuality in the military\, and London’s lost queer spaces.

SUMMARY:Ksenia Dermenzhi: Invisible Paths
DESCRIPTION:There exists an ongoing trope in art wherein the artist\, so impassioned in their pursuit to become one with nature\, describes this process as a literal dissolvement of the self into the earth. In Shakespeare’s The Tempest (1623)\, an elemental spirit sings of a shipwrecked king’s human form blending into the ocean floor\, detailing for audiences how his body parts have scattered into coral and pearls. And this is a tradition that extends both  From German Romanticism to Rousseau’s cryptic paintings that seem to pull the viewer into the mystic landscape; and more contemporarily too: Antony Gormley’s carbuncle encrusted bronze male statues that reveal themselves with the changing tides\, and Doig’s entire body of work seems to relate to desirous surroundings (and\, possibly\, his perpetual status as a physical and psychological outsider)\, or even Vija Celmins explorations where the artist’s hand seems to disappear into the process. \nThis tradition continues with Moldovan artist Ksenia Dermenzhi’s newest body of work\, whose Invisible Paths brings her sophomore solo BEERS London after a sold-out exhibition in 2022 and a recent group show with James Cohan Gallery in New York that placed the young artist in the purview of noted American collectors\, as well as a forthcoming inclusion in an exhibition focusing on contemporary landscape painters at London’s prestigious Saatchi Gallery.

SUMMARY:Revelation & Concealment
DESCRIPTION:JGM Gallery presents Revelation & Concealment\, an exhibition of paintings and prints by 18 Indigenous Australian artists. The starting points for this exhibition are the dual themes of “revelation and concealment” in Indigenous contemporary art\, a dialectic which curator Stephen Gilchrist identifies in his 2016 analysis of Shorty Lungkarta Tjungurrayi’s Children’s Water Dreaming (1972) (Gilchrist\, 2016). \nThe tension between these polarities is often manifest in the relationship between abstraction and realism. Indeed\, a great strength of Revelation & Concealment’sexhibiting artists is their capacity to reconcile these two approaches\, which they achieve using a variety of formal innovations. \nIn Jennifer Ingkatji’s Seven Sisters Story\, the narrative of its Tjukurpa (“Creation Story”)\, which tells how the Pleiades cluster came into being\, is not articulated sequentially. Instead\, the painting gives an impression of creation through Ingkatji’s auratic sprays of dotwork. Superimposed over a preliminary layer of paint\, these dots dazzle the viewer\, suggesting fields of energy emanating from astral beings\, or the clarity of constellations against an abyssal night sky. However\, this dotwork also slightly obscures the composition below. Thus\, while impacting the viewer in a manner akin to the experience of revelation\, Ingkatji’s dotwork can also be seen to function as a mask\, concealing the forms beneath.

SUMMARY:Tbilisi Independent
DESCRIPTION:‘Tbilisi Independent’ highlights five young\, female-run galleries from the Georgian capital: E.A Shared Space\, Gallery 4710\, The Why Not Gallery\, MAUDI\, and CH64 Gallery.

SUMMARY:Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences
DESCRIPTION:Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences opens at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery this July–December 2024. \nFor the first time\, this exhibition brings the Turner-Prize-winning artist’s six large-scale tapestries to a building where William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress\, the inspiration behind Perry’s tapestries\, were purchased for and displayed. \nSir Grayson Perry CBE RA Hon FRIBA is an internationally celebrated chronicler of contemporary life\, drawing us into intricately designed works of art with wit and nostalgia. In his work\, Perry tackles subjects that are universally human: identity\, gender\, social status\, sexuality and religion. Autobiographical references—to the artist’s childhood\, his family\, and his cross-dressing—can be read in tandem with questions about décor and decorum\, class and taste\, and the status of the artist versus that of the artisan. The exhibition invites viewers to consider their own connections with the tapestries’ vivid storytelling and rich\, allegorical imagery. \nThe set of monumental tapestries offer a contemporary re-reading of William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress\, a series of eight satirical paintings depicting a riches-to-rags tale of Tom Rakewell in 18th-century London. Hogarth’s original paintings were bought by Sir John Soane’s wife 222 years ago to be displayed at Pitzhanger. The Soanes subsequently moved with their art collections to Lincoln’s Inn Fields. However\, Pitzhanger continues to display a full series of framed 18th century engravings of A Rake’s Progress in their original setting of the vibrant red walls of the Soane’s drawing room. Visitors to the exhibition will be in the unique position to be able to compare and contrast both intricately detailed morality tales in the home of Hogarth’s series.

SUMMARY:Joy Labinjo: Southwark Park Galleries’ 40th Anniversary Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:For Southwark Park Galleries’ 40th anniversary programme\, British-Nigerian painter Joy Labinjo will present a new body of work that celebrates our local community in her largest London institutional exhibition to date. Taking scenes from Southwark Park and the Bermondsey area as a starting point\, the works will flow and develop from Labinjo’s visits to the park and how she saw people spending time there. \nSourced from a combination of taken and found imagery\, the paintings rely on the sense of the familiar and the hope that a wide range of people will see themselves in the works\, feeling welcome to spend time with them. Labinjo often depicts intimate moments\, both real and imagined\, and often based on figures appearing in family photographs\, found images and historical or archival material. \nIn the past\, she has explored themes such as identity\, political voice\, power\, Blackness\, race\, history\, community and family and their role in contemporary experience. Her distinctive painting style presents fresh and arresting compositions of colour\, pattern and motifs. Fundamentally at the heart of Labinjo’s practice is a bold interest in storytelling and\, ultimately\, people’s lives. Commissioned by Southwark Park Galleries\, London\, and generously supported by Arts Council England\, Tiwani Contemporary\, London\, and OMNI.

SUMMARY:Lonnie Holley
DESCRIPTION:Camden Art Centre is delighted to present a major institutional solo show by American artist and musician\, Lonnie Holley (b.1950\, Birmingham\, Alabama). \nThe exhibition will centre new works made during a production residency in the UK earlier this year\, alongside previously unseen sculptures made at The Mahler and LeWitt Studios in Spoleto\, Italy in 2023. A celebrated musician\, Holley will perform a live concert at Camden Art Centre on 5 July. \nActive across more than four decades\, Holley is recognised as an important figure in the Black Art tradition from the southern states of America\, as well as a significant artist in the mainstream of international twentieth century and contemporary art. He has a visionary capacity to intuit and reveal to others the significance\, symbolism and meaning of the overlooked and discarded. He learned how to make art as a child in the ‘creeks and ditches’ around his home in Alabama where he would dig for worms and find buried objects. As if connected to the regenerative cycles of decomposing organic matter in the soil\, and in an act of recuperation\, he introduces a redemptive aspect to rejected objects\, giving them dignity and new life.

SUMMARY:Rahima Gambo: Alternative Central Area Locations
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Central Area Locations brings together new and evolving works by Rahima Gambo that examine her diasporic relationship to Abuja\, Nigeria. Using archival records and blueprints as source material\, the exhibition is envisaged as a form of cartography\, drifting from the past into a present and possible future. \nGambo moved to Abuja as an infant just as the city’s identity was forming. A so-called “planned city”\, Abuja was constructed throughout the 1980s after the Nigerian government sought to build a new capital city that would replace Lagos. A conglomerate of five American firms (collectively known as the International Planning Associates) determined that Abuja would be built on the Gwagwa plains\, over 8\,000 km away\, due to the site’s central location and ethnic neutrality.

SUMMARY:Gavin Jantjes: To Be Free! A Retrospective 1970 – 2023
DESCRIPTION:This timely retrospective of Oxfordshire-based South African painter and printmaker Gavin Jantjes (b. 1948\, South Africa) is his largest solo presentation in the UK to date. It brings together more than five decades of the artist’s diverse and distinctive practice. \nThrough over 100 prints\, drawings\, and paintings\, as well as archival material\, the exhibition celebrates Jantjes as a significant and critical agent of change while tracing his development as a painter\, printmaker\, writer\, curator and activist. \nStructured into chapters spanning 1970 to the present\, To Be Free! focuses on pivotal phases in Jantjes’s life\, from his formative years in Cape Town during the early years of South African apartheid (1948–1994)\, his transformative role at art institutions in the UK\, Germany and Norway\, his compelling figurative portrayals of the global Black struggle for freedom\, to his recent transition to non-figurative painting. Jantjes’ journey embodies a quest for artistic emancipation\, marked by a search for an autonomous form\, freed from Eurocentric traditions and expectations of Black creativity.

SUMMARY:Rheim Alkadhi: Templates for Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Templates for Liberation is the UK’s first exhibition of artist Rheim Alkadhi. Addressing ongoing consequences of war and colonialism in present-day Iraq and the region at large\, this exhibition presents sculptures\, archival documentation\, and emancipatory counter-histories. The ICA’s main gallery will feature a series of sculptures fabricated from the heavy-duty transport tarpaulins of cross-border industrial vehicles. These sculptures bear the traces of their transnational passage; the material itself embodies the environmental and sociopolitical violence consuming the region. The adjacent reading room offers archival and speculative reference points for thinking about Iraq’s colonial borders\, resource extraction\, and the ensuing practices of biometric categorisation that would exploit ethnic differences for decades to come. Alkadhi conceives of this exhibition as a material template for a set of liberatory encounters: to re-imagine global space—and our agency in our short-term inhabiting of it—proposing ways of refusing the violence and injustice that characterise our times. \nSculptures made from tarpaulin lie directly on the floor\, unfurl in piles\, line the walls and drape from the ceiling. Alkadhi has a long engagement with this material\, typically polyester fabric bonded with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)\, which speaks to the artist’s interests: its fossil-fuel origins and traversals across borders attest to a specific ecological and political reality; and the raw tarp material has an agency of its own. Iraq\, where the artist lived as a child\, is the world’s fifth largest oil and petroleum producer\, and the industry has had devastating environmental effects. The tarps in the exhibition have been salvaged from transport lorries\, those that ubiquitously cross state and national borders with an ease denied to migrants criminalised at the same crossings. Additionally\, the material is physically recalcitrant\, it can be formed\, but only to a degree. The work we encounter in the gallery is of an exchange between the artist\, the material\, and the life the material has lived.
