Shtager&Shch is pleased to announce Fields, a solo presentation of new paintings and works on paper by Russian artist Vitaly Pushnitsky. The exhibition will be accompanied by a book of the same name.

With his compositions of horizontal lines and colour fields that oscillate between barren landscapes and vibrant dreamscapes, Pushnitsky invites us to turn our gaze inwards to explore what lies beyond the horizon. By reducing each scene to a minimum of marks and hues with horizontal lines the main point of reference, the artist hints at a visual continuity of time and space, past and present.

As art historian Maria Borshchevska writes in her exhibition text "in this seemingly apolitical series, Pushnitsky’s intense introspection betrays an emphatic desire to locate one’s identity and morality in response to the immanent present".

Fields reflects the artist's renewed interest in the relationship between introspective gaze and physical perception and concludes a body of work that commenced in 2018 with Forest and continued with Garden in 2022.

Max Birne

By Phillip Worth (FPS President) The Open Studios movement has been a welcome development in the art world in recent years. Typically based on specific areas, be they counties, cities, districts or whatever, it involves artists inviting members of the public to visit their studios, to meet and talk with them, and to view their output. And it is always an added attraction if they can see artists at work. The area of West Sussex centred on Chichester has a particularly lively tradition, and is rich in creative talent, as the writer discovered on a recent visit. The occasion for this was to renew acquaintance with Max Birne, a former FPS personality, who has recently moved house from Wembley, where he had lived for many years, to Selsey, near Eric Coates’s ‘Sleepy Lagoon’. After the move Max lost no time in building himself a conservatory/studio at the rear of his bungalow and it was here that he entertained visitors during ‘Open Doors 2008’, a mandatory stop on the Chichester ‘Stud

  Sam Hodge Every Contact Leaves A Trace 1 - 11 June 2023 Private View: Saturday 3 June, 5-8pm 195 Mare Street | London E8 3QE   RSVP Hackney-based painter and printmaker Sam Hodge exhibits recent work in one of the neighbourhood's oldest houses. With a history spanning more than three centuries, a multitude of inhabitants have left their mark on the fabric of the building; made intentionally or incidentally, some obvious and exposed, many concealed. Taking its title from a founding principle of forensic science,  Every Contact Leaves a Trace  documents the artist's encounters with her environment. Parallels to geological or biological investigations are evident in Hodge's approach to the marks left by natural and manufactured events. The connection between human and material realms runs like an undercurrent through her practice. Whether making pigments and inks with earths, plants and human debris, printing from discarded materials or giving new meaning to found objects th

The letter has been published on the day that Tate Britain is hosting a party to celebrate 20 years of BP's sponsorship.
