Contemporary Grand Tour

They belong to different generations, so much so that they could be father and son. Two Britons have set up an exhibition in Rome under the same roof, in the context of a spate of autumn-winter events at Macro.

CONTEMPORARY GRAND TOUR
Roma, Macro

The body, this unknown. In his research spanning a period of 30 years Antony Gormley (London 1950) has never stopped looking into the relationship between the human body and the surrounding space, moving from drawing to sculpture. If, at first, he used to favour the ironic representation of man as controlled from within by a little puppet (Mansion, 1982) or shapd like a sort of leafy shrub (Untitled, 1983), in time he proceeded to create abstract forms in the attempt to establish a connection between the human body and other subjects.

CHINA AT THE LINGOTTO
Until 27.Feb.2011
TURIN, Pinacoteca Agnelli

China Power Station: Part II arises from the collaboration between Ginevra Elkann and the owners of the Astrup Fearnley Museum. The works on display at the Pinacoteca Agnelli are the result of an intelligent selection from
the collection of the Oslo Museum dedicated to contemporary Chinese art.

With the exception of the two “masters” Huang Yong Ping and Cai Guo-Qiang, the exhibition focuses on young cosmopolitan artists, surprisingly critical of the modern era and its obvious contradictions. “Globalization” is
therefore the key word around which most of the experiments are formed, gently swaying between East and West. [Read more...]

Skiddaw by Nicholson

Visitors to a Dove Cottage and Wordsworth Museum exhibition, in Grasmere in The Lake District, can marvel at the resilience of their parasol-touting, well-to-do travelling predecessors, who would endure lengthy journeys, with boulders strewn in their path and the ever-present possibility of an overturned carriage, just to reach their destination!

From 13 January – 20 February 2011.

Scream Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of young and emerging British and international artists, who have a common desire to explore and create alternative realities. They transport you on a dream-like journey to another time or place, with inspiration drawn from fairy-tales, surrealism, nature, the human body and childhood.

Clare Chapman’s hyper-real oils on canvas are both disturbing and intriguing in their depiction of ambiguous forms and obscure terrain. The paintings draw on a rich tradition of painting from Rembrandt and Rubens, to Bellmer and Bacon. Chapman creates amorphous still-life’s that question our perception of reality, beautifully rendered in vivid sunset tones. David Foster describes her paintings as ‘the dragon’s teeth…presented to you on a velvet cushion’. [Read more...]

London – The ‘Main Hotel Partner’ to Frieze Art Fair, Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill announces Painting with Light, its fourth exhibition developed in partnership with leading cultural consultancy Candlestar

Painting with Light is an exploration of the boundaries between photography and painting, through the work of five artists – Marcus Doyle, Yvonne da Rosa, Susan Derges, Brian Griffin and Tom Hunter – each of whom makes photographs that are both painterly in execution and technique and very often carry echoes and allusions to the paintings of, for example, the Renaissance or the golden age of Dutch painting.
