2022 - Issue 11
Showcasing artists and works that caught my attention.
Images 1-2 = A wall of frogs and a talking dog. To say much more would ruin the fun of my favourite gallery installation of the year (so far). Be sure to set aside an hour so you can watch the entire 37 min film by Patrick Goddard (@_patrick_goddard_)
‘Pedigree’ at Seventeen (@SeventeenGallery) until 16 Apr
〰
Images 3-4 = You kinda need to know your art to truly appreciate what’s going on in this show. But even the casual gallery-goer will be gobsmacked to see 80 original Francisco de Goya etchings “reworked and improved with glitter” by Jake and Dinos Chapman.
‘Bad Manners’ at Luxembourg + Co. (@Luxembourg_co) until 15 May
〰
Images 5-6 = I absolutely love the way David Hepher paints and scrapes through the oil and concrete on his canvases, making them as rough and brutal as the architecture he depicts. Alas, his new series is essentially 6 far-too-similar variations, but they’re still worth a closer look, along with some older works on show.
‘Concrete Skies: The Vauxhall Series’ at Flowers (@FlowersGallery) until 02 Apr
〰
Image 7 = The cubist sculptures by Martin Daiber (@MartinDaiber) look like they’ve been roughly carved from concrete breeze blocks but are surprisingly light, in both appearance and actual weight.
‘Human Gardens’ at Beers London (@BeersLondon) until 02 Apr
〰
Images 8-9 = The photorealism and found-object sculptures in this group show paint a pretty good picture of what it’s like to go on a classic American road trip. Get your kicks on Route Sixty-er… actually… 11 Cork Street.
‘Drive. North America and the Open Road’ at Waddington Custot (@WaddingtonCustot) until 05 Apr
〰
Image 10 = There’s something quite mesmerising about the mirrored installations of blown glass that looks like ice melting over ancient rocks. And one giant wooden egg.
‘Loop’ by Rachel Rose (@worrrld) — Pilar Corrias (@PilarCorriasGallery) until 16 Apr
