  Doireann Gillan The Party's Over 14 - 23 November 2024 Private View: Thursday 14 November, 6-8pm The Bomb Factory, 99 Kingsway, London WC2B 6QX   RSVP Ringing in the season of cracker crowns, colourful balloons and party favours, the sculptures in Doireann Gillan's solo exhibition resemble both symbols of joy and excitement as harbingers of loneliness and nostalgia. Squeezed, stretched and bent out of shape, discarded industrial materials and soft spheres defy their prescribed functions as negative space and shadows compete with the objects they depend on. Oscillating between rage, restraint and revelry their behaviour and appearance challenge historically gendered attributes. Gillan's installations act as metaphors for the tension between a desire for happiness and the collapse of the social structures necessary to meet this - for the unachievable aspirations in an era of heightened political and economic precarity. The Party's Over  is a ...

  I am delighted to be selected for this new exhibition and showing 'Mariner Red in part 1, 17th-21st September. I will be delighted to see you there, details below STILLNESS IN MOVEMENT ‘Not known, because not looked for But heard, half heard in the stillness Between two waves of the sea’ from Four Quartets by T S Eliot These three lines from Eliot’s epic poem were the starting point of The London Group’s latest, and perhaps most evocative exhibition, Stillness in Movement. Its themes and offshoots are explored by 74 London Group members - the stillness before dawn; chance encounters that are frozen time; the anticipation and pause before a performance; the stillness between breaths... An overriding narrative is that of nature changing and resting. In her gravure print, ‘Botanical Beach’, J. Yuen Ling Chiu depicts the stillness and movement of water: ‘Every day the water recedes... underneath granite outcroppings and along stretches of sandstone, tide pools form... every day the w...

  Mamuka Dideba Urban Allusions 2 - 14 September 2024 Private View: Tuesday 3 September, 6 - 9 pm Katrine Levin Galleries at Marie Jose Gallery 16 Victoria Grove | South Kensington | W8 5RW   RSVP With  Urban Allusions  Georgian artist Mamuka Dideba takes viewers on a metaphorical journey that is loosely based on Italo Calvino's 1972 novel 'Invisible Cities'.  While Dideba's abstract paintings depict magical cities as an interplay of light and colour, subtly changing tones and evocative shapes, his portrait paintings present the cities’ quirky inhabitants who seem to exist outside of time, their exaggerated forms suggestive of their character and profession. Where Calvino uses language to contemplate on the nature of human civilisation through poetic conversations, Mamuka Dideba conjures visual dialogues between past memories and future aspirations. Painting in an elaborate Renaissance technique, the influence of the Old Masters on his practice is unmi...
