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...]

VEGAS is pleased to announce a range of interesting events taking place at and during Art Amsterdam. VEGAS Gallery, London, showing at stand 095 will present works by both established international artists and strong emerging talent at Art Amsterdam.
Although still a young gallery, VEGAS has grown rapidly and has gained an increasing reputation for a strong programme, to the point that it is already working with a number of internationally established artists. The stand presentation will include works by the distinguished British artists Keith Coventry and Jemima Stehli. Both artists emerged onto the international art scene during the first wave of ‘Brit Art’ during the 1990’s.
Coventry, who is represented by Haunch of Venison,London, is one of most highly regarded British artists of his generation, known primarily for his works that manipulate the legacy of Modernism to engage with British urban social conditions. Included in the seminal ‘Sensation’ show at the Royal Academy in 1997, recent solo institutional exhibitions include Camden Arts Centre, London and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. His work is held in important public collections internationally including Tate, London; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
