🌟 🌟 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY 🌟 🌟

Here are 10 candid shots of incredible women artists in front of their work!

05/03/2023

Mohammed Sami is the artists first institutional solo exhibition in the UK.

This exhibition is hauntingly familiar- everyday objects, chairs, tables, mattresses, interiors, plants, clothes fill the surfaces of his small to larger than life scale canvases…

People are absent, yet thee trace of human presence is very much alive. An overwhelming feeling of memory and allegory come to surface and subconsciously leaves this peculiar sense of trauma which lingers throughout the gallery rooms. The quotidien objects painted look abandoned and unwanted with a tinge of unspoken darkness. His compelling use of paint fill his mundane subjects and objects with thrill, fear, sadness and intrigue. One thing is for sure, these fragmented scenes demonstrate him as being true master of negotiating the past and embracing ambiguity through the act of painting.

Congratulations to for two of his recent group shows at and Martha’s Contemporary. Here are some shots of the works he exhibited as well as snaps with Taylor alongside his works.

We love seeing artists who we have collaborated with in the past go on to do great things, as we continue to support their careers!

Taylor was part of our “Streams of Consciousness” group show during Art Basel Miami last December.

Congratulations to who opened a duo show Gillian Jason Gallery] last week!
Julia was one of the wonderful artists to be part of our Streams of Consciousness exhibition with Phillips in Miami during Art Basel!

“American artist Julia Bennett and mixed-Japanese artist Mizuki Nishiyama remind us of our primal bond with nature through a selection of paintings, sculpture, and tapestries. For both artists, earth itself is not only an integral part of their medium, but also a metaphorical passageway into history, heritage, culture, trauma and remediation.” - Gillian Jason Gallery]

If you’re in London, don’t miss it!

🌟 Exhibition of the Week: Peter Doig 🌟

To enter the exhibition, you’ll have to walk through the permanent collection of the Courtauld which is worth seeing on its own anyway. Once you are past the ballerina works, the reclining n**e, big and miniature paintings of , the iconic paintings of , and , and of course and you will be lead into two rooms- where the courtauld holds their temporary exhibitions.

Since opening it’s doors after a big refurbishment in 2021, they have held solo exhibitions by artists like and so Peter Doig is the first living artist to have a solo at the Gallery and it certainly doesn’t disappoint.

The show features new paintings, including those created since the artists move from Trinidad to London in 2021. You’ll walk through the exhibition as though walking through seasons- with a rich variety of places, people, memories and of course ways of painting.

It makes sense that they held this exhibition at the Courtauld, seeing as the artist has long admired the impressionist and post impressionist artists housed in the collection and has used them as sources of inspiration for his paintings.

Finally, this show demonstrated a lineage of painting taken from a multitude of influences and made into a practice with its own unique voice. We now see so many younger artists looking to Doig for inspiration, just as Doig did with the artists collected by the gallery.

The show is on view until the 29th of May.

🌟 Artist Spotlight: Geoffrey Holder 🌟

Major rediscovery of a true polymath, mainly known during his lifetime for his work as film director - Geoffrey Holder was a also painter, photographer, choreographer, dcostume designer, dancer and composer born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. In 1953, during his early twenties, Holder relocated to New York City, a move financed by the sale of his paintings and by 1956 he would receive a Guggenheim fellowship in painting.

held a mini retrospective of his works at the end of last year, reintroducing and focusing on Holder’s remarkable work as a painter, with an exhibition spanning the 1970s through the later part of his career.

We love to see older artists who were underrepresented in their lifetime as artists come back with a vengeance. His paintings are elegant and timeless… somehow endlessly contemporary. You wouldn’t be able to tell which works were made in the 50s and those made much later in the 80s and 90s. A true master. One not to look past.

For those heading to Frieze LA next week, look out for a couple of works by the artist showcased
Booth.

🌟 Exhibition of the week star 🌟 John Maclean in London

Not to miss exhibition by Filmmaker and Artist in his debut London solo show, “The Annexe”

“painting is most like writing – in terms of its relationship to filmmaking. You need time to think and to experiment. It is essentially a lonely pursuit. Much of one’s time is spent on research, on dreaming, on false starts and minor breakthroughs. When it comes to actually shooting a film, it’s probably as far from painting as can be; making a film is all collaboration, a form of improvised madness, watching the clock, and shifting with the external circumstances. I love this social and chaotic aspect of filmmaking precisely because it’s the opposite of painting.” -

🌟Exhibition of the Week🌟

presents Exodus, an exhibition of new work by Anselm Kiefer at the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles and has been chosen as Particle’s favorite this week.

A master of allegorical painting, Anselm Kiefer continues his visual exploration of cultural crossroads and themes of migration that were on view in his sensational Venice show earlier last year.

Mixing myth with visual metaphors, the massive paintings offer images of monumental buildings and ruins energetically constructed with layers of paint, clay, copper and gold leaf juxtaposed with clothing, rope and weather-beaten objects, along with inscriptions in Hebrew from the book of Exodus. The historically significant buildings featured include Albert Speer’s Zeppelin Grandstand in Nuremberg and Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport, which was developed under the Third Reich, later played an important role in the Berlin Airlift and more recently provided shelter for refugees.

A must see for those living or travelling to California.

⭐️ Artist Spotlight ⭐️

Cologne-based artist and musician Kai Althoff has emerged as one of the most compelling figures in contemporary art. Borrowing from moments of history, religious iconography, and counter-cultural movements, Althoff creates imaginary environments in which paintings, sculpture, drawing, video, and found objects commingle.

Althoff’s characters inhabit imaginary worlds that serve as allegories for human experience and emotion. His work bears the imprint of autobiographical influences which draws on a multitude of sources in his art, from Germanic folk traditions to recent popular culture and from medieval and gothic religious imagery to early modern expressionism, reconfigured by introducing collaged technique. For him, art is part of an artist's life in search of existential themes.

His work creates an autonomous and resolutely personal world that seems as tender as it is absurd.

08/01/2023

In honor of the group exhibition we hosted with last month during Art Basel Miami week, Particle asked 11 of the artists included in the show to give a description of the work they created.

Overall, the show brought together emerging and mid-career artists who investigate a space through their own psychological depictions of landscapes and figures, cultural attitudes and self-reflection. The show demonstrated the fictitious domain in these works that call for possibilities of transformative experience, demonstrating the immeasurable ways that paint can be manipulated to develop suggestive, transcendent, and sensory compositions.
