Exquisite miniatures by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist at Lyman Allyn Art MuseumNEW LONDON, CONN.- Wes and Rachelle Siegrist are an American husband and wife team who mesmerize viewers with miniature paintings so exquisitely crafted that they are often mistaken for tiny photographs. Their tiny treasures, as collectors often refer to them, typically measure less than nine square inches and appear even more detailed when viewed under magnification. A hallmark of their work is their ability to convey the feeling of a larger canvas or the essence of the natural world in miniature. Exquisite Miniatures is on view Nov. 9, 2024 Jan. 26, 2025. Featuring 50 signature paintings including landscapes, portraits, still lifes, wildlife, and other subjects by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist, Exquisite Miniatures reveals the artists vision of the world in remarkable detail.

Works by Tilde Herold, Miriam Scheller, Jennie Steen and Ruusa Vuori experiment with the very essence of fashion the human body expanding the boundaries of what fashion design can be.

More Art Gallery of New South Wales presents first major solo exhibition of Nusra Latif Qureshi SYDNEY.- Celebrating 30 years of artmaking and featuring more than 100 works, many not seen before in Australia, as well as a newly commissioned installation, Nusra Latif Qureshi: Birds in Far Pavilions is the first major solo exhibition of the Pakistan-born, Melbourne-based artist. Nusra Latif Qureshi is best known for her multi-layered paintings that revisit musaviri, the tradition of Persian and South Asian miniature painting, from a contemporary perspective. Born in Pakistan in 1973, Qureshi studied at the National College of Arts in Lahore where she trained in the intricate art of musaviri, which was brought from Persia to the Mughal courts of what is now India and Pakistan in the 16th century and developed in the region. Qureshi recontextualises historical archives in collage, photographs and paintings that bear witness ... More  Multidisciplinary team combines visual art, music, video, design, and technology in new exhibitionJYVÃSKYLÃ.- An interactive exhibition by Johanna Pisto and a multidisciplinary team is being staged at the Museum of Central Finland Art Hall. This exhibition merges visual art, music, video, design, and technology, and is the first to apply sensors developed by Kaiku Team, based on a research project at the University of Jyväskylä. These sensors allow the artworks to respond to touch, creating sound and moving images. Digital techniques like laser engraving, flat cutting, and UV and sublimation printing highlight the variety of materials and textures. Pisto describes her work as a combination of materials and techniques that builds rich textures and layered visuals for each piece. âI am fascinated by surfaces and the layering of images, which I build using various materials. I cut stencils, pour color, and consider the relationships between elements, shapes, and lines, utilizing media ind ... More 'Roee Rosen. The Kafka Companion to Wellness' opens at Kunstverein HannoverHANOVER.- Roee Rosen (b. 1963, Rehovot, Israel) has carved out a singular position in the arts with his cast of fictitious, part-fictitious, and real-life characters which, for over three decades now, have appeared across a variety of media, from gouaches to paintings to film, books, and installation. Those of you who heard of me, know that I have built my entire career on lies, scandals, obscene pictures, fake identities. I have pretended not to be myself. No more. It is urgent to do the right, difficult thing, says the artist in his film The Confessions of Roee Rosen (2007), in which he is played by three illegal labor migrants. In Two Women and a Man (2005), on the other hand, Rosen appears in person, but as a fictitious female scholar de- livering a television interview about Justine Frank, an obscure Surrealist painter who, in fact, never existed ... More Galerie-Peter-Sillem exhibits Anastasia Samoylova's latest seriesFRANKFURT.- Parallel to Anastasia Samoylova's major institutional exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Saatchi Gallery in London, Galerie-Peter-Sillem presents her latest series, Image Cities, a photographic journey through some of the world's most prominent metropolises, including New York, Paris, London, Zurich, Tokyo, and Milan. The artist turns her camera towards the publicly visible images that shape the façades of these cities. Rather than highlighting what makes these places unique, she reveals what they have in common: the menacing and gradual homogenization of consumer culture, emerging from a world increasingly dominated by corporations. Anastasia Samoylova (1984) is an American artist who moves between observational photography, studio practice and installation. By utilizing tools related to digital ... More Jonathan Gardner's fourth exhibition at Casey Kaplan opens in New YorkNEW YORK, NY.- For his fourth exhibition at the gallery, Jonathan Gardner (b. 1982, Lexington, KY) presents a series of new works depicting scenes of interior spaces mined from the artists surroundings and refracted through his lens of formal invention. In a visual manifestation of his process, Gardner constructs hermetic compositions realized multiple times across distinct mediums graphite drawing, oil painting, and, presented for the first time publicly, gouache paintings on paper. Renderings of the same composition repeated and passed through a prism of materiality unfold contrasting psychological tenors that are never far from an undercurrent of unease. With orderly passages of crosshatching, decisive outlines, and smoothly blended gradients, Gardner begins with drawings on paper. The relationship between figure, object, ... More moniquemeloche exhibits a new series of paintings by Jake TroyliCHICAGO, IL.- moniquemeloche is presenting Jake Troyli: Collision Course, the artist's third solo exhibition with the gallery. Taking cues from the technical and compositional elements of Northern Renaissance paintings, Troyli's self-portraiture fuses comic language with social critique as he explores the performance of identity and the commodification of the Black/Brown body. Collision Course centralizes the artist's ongoing investigations within a larger context of the battle, posing questions around the spectacle through micro and macro examinations of conflict. This new series was initiated during a year-long residency as an inaugural Visual Artist Fellow at the Académie des beaux-arts x Cité Internationale des arts program in Paris, France. During this time abroad, Troyli became heavily inspired by the compositions of epic battle and martyr paintings ... More The National Gallery year ahead round up 2024 and 2025LONDON.- To mark its 200th anniversary the National Gallery is staging its first exhibition of the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers marks the centenary of the Gallerys acquisition of the artists Sunflowers and Van Goghs Chair (1888), two of its most famous pictures, in 1924. Groups of Van Goghs most ambitious canvases and works on paper explore the artists creative process and his sources of inspiration. Dwelling on Van Goghs time in Arles and Saint-Rémy in the South of France (1888-90), the exhibition investigates the artists fascinating practice of turning the places he encountered into idealised spaces in his art, thus crafting a deeply resonant and poetic framework for his oeuvre. The National Gallery is staging Discover Constable and The Hay Wain, devised around The Hay Wain (1821) by John Constable ... More Exhibition marks the centenary of Ivan Picelj's birthZAGREB.- The exhibition Picelj and Friends, marking the centenary of Ivan Piceljs birth, presents the multifaceted role of Ivan Picelj in the history of Croatian art and culture in general. He was one of those who, in the early post-war years, shaped artistic strategies of far-reaching significance and remained consistent in his choices until the end. It would be insufficient to view him solely as a great artist who introduced a series of significant, even tectonic innovations in the field of visual arts, whether in painting, objects, or graphic design. Picelj saw his role more broadly and complexly, as can be observed from his early days when the EXAT-51 Group appeared on the scene, with the groups first exhibition being held in his apartment. It is also worth mentioning the display of EXAT painters works at the first public exhibition at the Architects ... More |
