LOTHAR BAUMGARTEN

Posted on 2021-11-08

The artist himself conceived this project before his untimely passing, with a selection of works that span his entire career. It covers all his various periods, illustrating the continuity of his ideas with regard to the visual and conceptual issues that interested him throughout his life. The notions and intuitions of the initial period of his artistic career came about and acquired concrete form as they mixed in with his personal experiences, and with his desire to enter into a world far removed from us in both time and space. This became reality in the second half of the 1970s, when he lived with the Yanomami people in the remotest part of the high Orinoco, on the border between Brazil and Venezuela.

GENIEVE FIGGIS – IMMORTAL REFLECTION

Posted on 2021-11-08

Figgis presents the history of painting as an ongoing conversation, reworking, reimagining and re-contextualising the content and composition of historic works in a very personal way. Rococo painters such as Jean-Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher are recurrent visual references. She creates what she describes as “cover versions” of their work. There is a clear delight in the artist’s process of recreating the narratives, fashion, interiors and characters in her source paintings. Yet like a new version of a play or a film, Figgis imbues these painted scenes with her own personality. Everyone version becomes a unique take on the original, with its own sense of meaning. The artist gets to insert herself within the work and take part,
rather than observe from a distance. She gets to step inside the world that fascinates her, and takes the viewer with her

Opposite – Reflection, 2021

Exhibition runs through to December 11th, 2021

ELEGORGON BY CHOGRIN X STRANGER THINGS

Posted on 2021-11-08

Ecuadorian artist Chogrin has collaborated with Netflix and iam8bit on a creative, head-turning take on the wildly popular Stranger Things series. As the name hints, the unexpected Elegorgon vinyl art toy merges the show’s enigmatic heroine Eleven with the fearsome Demogorgon, terror of the Upside Down. The 12.38″ figure features Eleven as seen in Season 1, holding a waffle, with a fierce Demogorgon head in full, wide-open rage. The intriguing design embodies the lingering question of Eleven’s uneasy relationship with the Upside Down.
