HIROE SAEKI : COSMOGENESIS
Nov 7, 2019 - Jan 31, 2020
The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is delighted to host Hiroe Saeki’s first UK solo show. In this exhibition, she presents a new body of work with graphite and water. The powdered graphite travels through capillaries of water: settling where and when the water evaporates, to be absorbed by the land of paper. The resulting surfaces recall water-carved planetary landscapes. Saeki’s practice evokes associations with biological or mineral forms, such as geological sediments. Exquisite, miniscule lines take us to the nano level of the cellular structure of organisms. Combined with the serendipitous nature of her new graphite process, they take on a sense of the cosmic.

FRAGMENTS OF INFORMATION BY HOCHOUL LEE
Feb 14 - Mar 25, 2020
Private view Thu Feb 13 6pm - 8pm
The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is delighted to introduce the works of the artist Hochoul Lee to the UK public. Lee will display new pieces from the series 'A Second in Thousands'.
 
Lee’s recent works have focused on the meaning of human cognitive functions, and his works are greatly influenced by philosophy.
Lee’s inspiration for this series comes from the worrying problems related to political issues, the spread of racism and nationalism.
He believes that the collapse of traditional ethics is related to a lack of imagination and acceptance towards individuality.
 
Special Artist Performance: Thursday 13 February 2020, 6:30pm

GLEN BAXTER : UNFLINCHINGLY GAMBOGE – SELECTED WORKS
Jan 10 - Feb 1, 2020
British artist Glen Baxter is renowned for a unique style of social surrealism in which familiar subjects from popular culture are combined with an absurdist message.
 
In this exhibition of works on paper, Baxter explores a world of illustrated characters engaged in baffled contemplation of modern art and philosophy. Beginning with his first publications of the 1970s, Baxter developed a distinctive drawing style similar to that of mid-twentieth century British comic books, combining images and text using the format of a single cell graphic panel. Loosely deriving material from diverse sources such as pulp fiction, adventure stories, ‘foodie-ism’, and iconic works of art, Baxter’s surreal scenarios form a playful critique of society and culture.

JOSEF HERMAN : JOURNEY
Nov 15, 2019 - Jan 25, 2020 FINAL WEEK
Flowers Gallery presents the first major exhibition for many years to trace the complex life journey of Polish-Jewish artist Josef Herman (1911-2000), from his escape from Nazi-occupied Europe in 1940 through his time spent in Glasgow, South Wales, London and Suffolk.
 
Herman consistently drew his major inspiration from working communities in harmony with their surroundings, of miners, farmers and fishermen among others, and remains best known for his images of miners in the Swansea Valley. By 1990 he had been awarded an OBE and made a Royal Academician. This exhibition brings together many key works from private collections that have not been seen in public since the 1950s.
 
The exhibition is part of Insiders / Outsiders, the nationwide arts festival celebrating refugees from Nazi Europe and their contribution to British culture. Visit insidersoutsidersfestival.org to find out more.

KES RICHARDSON : DROOR'NGS
Jan 9 - Feb 15, 2020
For his third solo show with the gallery Richardson presents a selection of recent paintings that range in scale from domestic to monumental.
 
Continuing his exploration in the qualities and potential of his small studies in marker pen on paper, and the act of enlarging them to painted works, these new paintings are his most faithful translations to date. The discovery of using heavy-duty PVC as a support has afforded the appropriate speed of brush needed to mimic the quick marks and throwaway revisions that are made on the coated paper he uses for the studies. This process of transcription he likens to a forger replicating a signature on an important document. The attitude of attack is more important than structural accuracy.

THE UNCANNY : A CENTENARY
Oct 30, 2019 - Feb 9, 2020

The Freud Museum’s exhibition celebrates Freud’s essay and explores its legacy. Elizabeth Dearnley, lili Spain, Martha Todd and Karolina Urbaniak & Martin Bladh have made new artworks exploring the uncanny which may make you feel a little unsettled… Alongside these new works will be several etchings by German Surrealist Hans Bellmer.

GED QUINN
Nov 21, 2019 - Jan 18, 2020 FINAL WEEK
A solo exhibition of new paintings by British artist Ged Quinn. This is the third show at the gallery for the Cornwall-based painter and comprises a new body of work in which Quinn creates a monodrama from the point of view of a wandering protagonist. Marking a significant development in the artist's practice, the exhibition pairs large scale romantic landscape paintings with smaller portraits and intimate pastoral scenes. Rendered in thinly applied layers of oil on linen, these wintry images evoke the feelings of the isolated wanderer.
 
Quinn's new paintings derive from the poetry of German lyric poet Wilhelm Muller, English Romantic poet William Wordsworth and Carl Jung's partially autobiographical book ‘Memories, Dreams, Reflections'. They also relate to a series of rare watercolours depicting landscapes by Albrecht Dürer.

MASSIMO BARTOLINI : CREDITS
Feb 7 - Apr 9, 2020
Private view Thu Feb 6 6pm - 8pm
Massimo Bartolini is internationally renowned for his immersive, experiential art. His work is often talked about in terms of metamorphosis and experimentation - he makes art which changes space and our experience of it and which often acknowledges, in its finished form, the processes by which it was made.
 
'Credits' is an exhibition about Landscape; its meaning, form and significance. For Bartolini landscape is nature viewed from a safe distance, it is always a projection of those that inhabit it. The works in this show each engage the viewer's senses in precise and different ways.
