Solo exhibition by French artist Veronique Heim opens at Didier Aaron Inc.

Empilement d'Anatolie, textiles multicolores turcs.

NEW YORK, NY.- Didier Aaron Inc. is presenting Textiles en Orient, a solo exhibition by French artist Veronique Heim, running from October 24th to November 16th, 2024. Heim draws inspiration from her travels, nature, museums, and the works of Pierre Bonnard, whose mastery of color associations and vibrancy influence her own vivid color arrangements. She explores color, texture, and composition in ways that connect the viewer to the rich traditions of India, Morocco, Vietnam, and Uzbekistan. Her art reflects the customs, social nuances, and styles of these regions, creating a bridge between classical painting techniques and cultural heritage. Textiles en Orient presents a variety of subjects – shoes, dresses, jewelry – in a variety of compositions, each crafted from a boundless palette of colors and fabrics arranged into a perfect equilibrium. ...

Lorna Simpson's 'Earth & Sky' debuts at Hauser & Wirth
NEW YORK, NY.- With ‘Earth & Sky,’ Lorna Simpson debuts a new body of work exploring our relationships––physical and metaphysical––to unseen forces that work upon us individually and generationally, alternately challenging and empowering our sense of our own humanity. The exhibition encompasses a series of massive paintings inspired by a 1929 textbook ‘Minerals from Earth and Sky,’ along with a pair of monumental paintings depicting the impact of fired bullets. Presented in a temple-like atmosphere in which both human scale and geological time are upended, Simpson’s works are accompanied by a new text-based wall sculpture referencing a story recounted in the same textbook, describing the astonishment of an unnamed Black sharecropper when a meteorite falls from the sky and lands at his feet, still warm ...

Second solo show in Turin by the British artist Delaine Le Bas opens at Quartz Studio
TURIN.- Quartz Studio is presenting The Death of the Pythia, the second solo show in Turin by the British artist Delaine Le Bas (Worthing, UK, 1965). The Death of the Pythia is the title of an irreverent story by the Swiss writer (and painter) Friedrich Dürrenmatt. Published in 1976, its main character, Pannychis XI, the priestess of Delphi, “tall and thin like almost all the Pythias that came before her,” reveals the true purpose of her prophesying: to mock her faithful, displaying their vacuous credulity. The Pythia’s character is clearly defined in the classical myth and humorously interpreted by Dürrenmatt. She fits perfectly in the repertoire of female figures that Le Bas has gathered over the years. On the occasion of Artissima 2024, like the Pythias prophesying in the limestone cave of the sanctuary of Delphi in Greece, Le Bas, an English ... More

Words are often the starting point for most of the artist's practice, most notably in her iconic ‘Shout Out’ paintings ... More

Exhibition examines the complex relationship between host and guest
HONG KONG.- Para Site is presenting The Embrace and the Passage, an unfolding exhibition of all-new commissions by Michele Chu, Florence Lam, Monique Yim, and Bunny Cadag, curated by Jessie Kwok. The exhibition examines the complex relationship between host and guest as a framework to explore questions of intimacy and hospitality during times of transition and displacement. A host embraces, cares, and remains, while a guest arrives, adapts, and departs. In the physical or metaphorical sense—as a body, home or a place—the host-guest dynamic is marked by codependence, negotiation and sometimes conflict. Chu assumes the role of host by designing an immersive installation that envelops the senses, intervening in the tenth-floor space at Para Site, to welcome the audience into an interactive stage for performances and happenings. ...
