Paolo Pedroni: Altered Visions

At DCG London, with an opening on Friday, April 12th, the solo exhibition by Italian artist Paolo Pedroni, Altered Vision who is making his UK debut after two participations at Art Taipei that conquered the Asian market and led the artist to continuous sell-outs, will open. Pedroni’s new and visionary collection consists of a series of eleven canvas paintings that, through the chromatic metaphor of saturation, evoke the concept of accumulation as synonymous with superfluity, using color to delineate the essential from the excessive.  Each of these canvases, imbued with a sweet pop imagery and characterized by an apparently reassuring…

Bethany Collins: Years

Alexander Gray Associates, Germantown presents Bethany Collins: Years, an exhibition of recent work by the artist that maps the interconnection between loss and identity. Building on Collins’s first exhibition with the Gallery in 2023, this focused presentation foregrounds her Years series—black, blind embossed prints of public notices placed by formerly enslaved individuals seeking loved ones. The black paper used in these works obfuscates the notices’ text, and, by extension, the missing family they describe. In this way, the dark, textured surfaces of prints like Years, 1865 (The Black Republican) (2023) force viewers to grapple with illegibility and the unknown—that which remains lost. Imbuing words with…

Alexej von Jawlensky

London – Bretonin, a painting by Alexej von Jawlensky (1864-1941) leads Bonhams’ Impressionist & Modern Art sale on Thursday 18 April in New Bond Street, London. The work has an estimate of £300,000 – 500,000. Ruth Woodbridge, Head of Bonhams’ Impressionist & Modern art department in London, commented: “Jawlensky was a key proponent of German Expressionism, and a founding member of the Munich-based Der Blaue Reiter group, alongside Gabriele Münter, Franz Marc, August Macke and Wassily Kandinsky. Painted circa 1906, Bretonin is an early example of Jawlensky’s ability to blend influences, including Fauvism and Pont-Aven Synthetism, into what would become one of the most important artistic voices of Expressionism. Bretonin embodies…

Alighiero Boetti, Aerei,

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honored to present Insecure Unconcerned, a solo exhibition of works by Alighiero Boetti. The show at the New York gallery is dedicated to the late Pasquale Leccese, a close friend of Boetti’s, who conceived the idea to curate this exhibition based on the work Insicuro Noncurante. A compendium of Boetti’s artistic production between 1966 and 1975, Insicuro Noncurante outlines the fundamental concepts underpinning his extraordinary artistic universe: order and chaos, coincidence and necessity, seeking and finding, similarity and difference, and singularity and multiplicity. Comprising artworks from four decades and providing an overview of his seminal oeuvre, the exhibition…

His work merges elements of the 90s with social critique, and reflects on the influence of capitalism on the artist’s life. Together, these elements invite reflection on the complexity of human relationships and contemporary society. In this exhibition,…
