ZACHARI LOGAN : TALES FROM THE BONE GARDEN
Sep 3 - Oct 24, 2020
We are delighted to announce our third solo show by Canadian Artist Zachari Logan. For this new exhibition he has created new works that fit into two distinct categories. The first is his response to the corvid 19 pandemic, and he has created a series of beautiful drawings based around the sentence “go back inside”. As part of his considering the impact of the virus, Logan has imagined a “Bone Garden” where his signature wildflowers become combined with skeletons. The second series is a stunning continuation of his “wild man” series and here the wild man is seen involved in shamanic magic, casting spells and holding the delicate balance between man and nature in his furry hands.

SLICES OF TIME : EMMANUELLE MOUREAUX
Feb 5 - Sep 27, 2020 FINAL WEEK
Emmanuelle Moureaux has been seducing audiences with her colourful installations from Paris to Tokyo. The complexity and delightful aesthetic fills space with cut out coloured paper to create a world where the essence of every carefully considered colour can be appreciated. NOW Gallery, as part of its on-going Design Commission, selected Moureaux to present a large-scale installation in the UK for the first time. Inspired by the gallery’s location on the Greenwich Peninsula, near to the Meridian, marking time and composed of layers of numbers in 100 shades of colours and white, the installation expresses the flow of time. Each layer of numbers reflects the now, the past and the future, the exhibition will be a round representation of the earth floating in the gallery space. A moment, a slice of time. Creating dates to be acknowledged and a moment to think about ourselves in contemplation with the now.

TIAN WEI
Sep 3 - 26, 2020 FINAL WEEK
In this Focus presentation, October Gallery will exhibit a selection of artworks by Tian Wei, renowned for his striking monochromatic canvases in bold colours that explore the written word and the plasticity of meaning.
Both theoretically and formally, Tian Wei’s work constructs a bridge between things that appear as polar opposites or complementary pairs. Using the Chinese idea of contraries held in balance (yin and yang), words and quotations in minute script fill the backdrop of Tian’s paintings, forming a patterned ground on which larger semi-abstract shapes are drawn. On trying to read these foregrounded lines as Chinese characters, however, anyone familiar with Chinese ideographic script is soon frustrated, since the unfamiliar writing can only be resolved in English. In fact, the cursive lines spell out simple English words, such as ‘sexy,’ ‘soul’ and ‘red.’ These selected English adjectives and nouns represented in Chinese calligraphic style give the viewer insight into the artist’s lived experience of an emerging synergy between eastern and western sensibilities.

NUDE
Sep 21 - Dec 11, 2020
Olivier Malingue is pleased to the exhibition 'Nude', including works by Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Marlene Dumas, Jean Fautrier, Lucian Freud, Maximilien Luce, Henri Laurens, Baltasar Lobo, Roberto Matta, Henry Moore, Grayson Perry, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Judit Reigl and Kees Van Dongen.
 
The exhibition will explore the role the nude has played in influencing and informing artistic production from the end of the 19th century until today. In the context of modern and contemporary art history, artists have felt compelled to confront this theme by employing both figurative and abstract styles and experimenting with various media and techniques. The exhibition at Olivier Malingue will present different artistic interpretations of the nude, while giving the audience the freedom to analyse the differences and analogies between the different forms of nude presented.
 
The works featured in the exhibition present the interaction between idealised and stylised forms of nudity in relation to the anatomical features of the human body. At the same time, each work includes the artist's fantasies and conceptions gravitating around the idea of the nude. What emerges from the exhibition is that there isn't a traditional or standard manner of representing the nude, or for elevating its status from a physical to an ideal phenomenon. In fact, each work on view embodies a different perspective on the theme: from Picasso using the nude to subvert the norms of romantic relationships, to Delvaux and Matta both depicting the human body as an extension of the human subconscious. While Reigl used her pictorial language to represent the muscular strength of the male body, this is in direct contrast with Laurens, who explored the sinuous forms of the female body.
 
Presenting different ways of engaging with the theme of the nude, the exhibition also highlights how each artist considers the nude as a visual equation between the architectural features of the body and the psychology of human emotions.

KATHY MACCARTHY : BELLOWED CALL
Sep 11 - Oct 24, 2020
Kathy MacCarthy grew up in post-industrial Liverpool in the 1960s and 70s. Her memory of the landscape of abandoned domestic and manufacturing buildings throughout the city, coupled with the development of her interest in the body as form and mass has continued to provide a rich foundation for her work.
All of the sculptures at PEER have been produced in the past five years. Many of them obliquely reference vessel shapes – a vase, jug or amphora perhaps – but MacCarthy distorts, mutates and renders them useless. Some of these shapes look collapsed, exhausted and lie prostrate. Undulating glazed or unglazed ceramic have the look of folds of flesh or, conversely, suggest the mass-defying rippling of rolling hills.

REMEMBERING THE FUTURE
Jul 30 - Sep 26, 2020 FINAL WEEK
Pi Artworks London is excited to announce Nancy Atakan’s solo exhibition Remembering the Future as part of London Collective on Vortic Collect.
 
Using lace, cloth cut outs, thread drawings, photographs, and antique textiles from her personal collection, in a new series of needlework pieces Atakan continues with and expands upon the topics of the relationship between word and image, storytelling, female experiences, globalization and gentrification.
 
Atakan used her small home studio to produce this body of work during the three and a half month 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. As she read, wrote, sewed, imagined and looked out onto the flowers on her terrace and the trees in Macka Park in Istanbul, she became convinced that the key to the survival of future generations rested with learning from the vegetal world.

"EXTROSPECTION"
Oct 1 - Nov 14, 2020
Private view Thu Oct 1 3pm - 8pm
EXTROSPECTION brings together works from Fiona Banner, Barry Flanagan, Toby Tobias Kidd, John Latham, Cally Spooner, Anne Tallentire.
 
Conceptual art was an international movement and, after New York, London was an important centre. The artists selected for EXTROSPECTION all have a strong link to London. They are drawn from different generations, from those instrumental in establishing conceptual art as a discipline to those active today.
 
Over the years the term Conceptual art has come to be used as a popular catchall for everything that isn't conventional painting and sculpture. But did Conceptual art actually die in the 70s? Or has it survived as a distinct discipline formed by the extrospective consideration of things external to the artist - putting ideas about art and its place in the world over the artists’ mental and emotional processes?
EXTROSPECTION runs between 1 October - 14 November 2020. For more information and all enquiries please contact Pi Artworks London at london@piartworks.com

BOB LAW : IDEAS, ENERGIES, TRANSMUTATIONS
Sep 3 - Oct 29, 2020
Richard Saltoun Gallery opens to the public for the first time in six months with an exhibition of work by the British conceptual artist Bob LAW (b. 1934 - d. 2004). Beginning in the late 1950s, Law developed an abstract vocabulary that was rooted in corporeal experience yet oriented toward metaphysical concerns. Audacious in their minimalism, his drawings and paintings were shown alongside works by Jo Baer, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold and Robert Ryman in the early 1970s. Unlike these New York-based artists, however, Law's work evolved out of an engagement with the English landscape and an esoteric range of interests including alchemy, nature mysticism, numerology, and palaeontology. Curated by the art historian Anna Lovatt, this exhibition demonstrates how Law invested austere forms with affective, wry, or whimsical qualities, contributing to a re-enchantment of abstract art that has continued since his death in 2004.

BETWEEN THE FORCEPS AND THE STONE
Jul 23 - Sep 26, 2020 FINAL WEEK
‘I know no one is going to show me everything,
We all come and go unknown
Each so deep and superficial,
Between the forceps and the stone.’
- Joni Mitchell ‘Hejira’
 
Although these words by the Canadian poet, singer and songwriter relate to human beings and the impossibility that any single person can convey all the ultimate truths about life, it applies equally well to our extraordinarily multifarious contemporary art world.
This exhibition will bring together 5 artists hailing from 5 different countries and will cover painting, both abstract and figurative, sculpture and installation. Each quite distinct, they will, in, an inevitably restricted way, illustrate a few of the many, many truths which exist in today’s contemporary art cornucopia. Although there are inevitably connections between some of them, such as the importance of nature, no one element unites all five. If one lived in fourteenth century Florence, the absolute harbinger of artistic truth would have been Giotto. Likewise Leonardo and Michelangelo in the following two centuries. Similarly Titian in sixteenth century Venice and Velazquez in seventeenth century Spain. Although less so in his lifetime, Rembrandt is the epitome of artistic truth for seventeenth century Holland.
 
However, today no one figure holds the beacon to being that symbol of absolute artistic veracity and that makes our contemporary world far more difficult to decipher from an artistic point of view but ultimately both more intrinsically fascinating whilst also being truer to our human existence. In a world where many of the most industrialised nation’s leaders masquerade false truths as definitive and objective, the contemporary art world is a beacon for absolute freedom with a multitude of voices from all over the world displaying their own particular understanding of what is truth for them, and where we, as individuals, must each of us discover what resonates within us and thus negotiate our own personal paths.
