Plastiche Blu #1 (détail) , 2021, powdered plastic glued to dibond, wooden frame, glass, 66 x 40 cm.
PARIS.- Michel Rein will present Pitture Plastiche, fifth solo exhibition of the artist at the gallery. Luca Vitone unveils a new series of monochromes created with an unconventional pigment. An ideal return to the past, to artisanal work where the pigment is produced within the very walls of the artists studio. The pigment consists of finely ground plastics, reduced almost to powder, applied to Dibond and placed under glass. The shades used are those of primary colors: red, blue, and yellow, along with a work in a golden hue. After the dust from the interiors we inhabit (Chambres), the atmospheric agents of the landscapes that surround us (Les agents atmosphériques), and the ashes from incinerators representing our waste (Les cendres de Milan), here are plastics derived from everyday residues (Pitture Plastiche), a material deemed indispensable, whose excessive consumption poses challenges for disposal. Luca Vitones work has been exhibited at the MAXXI - ... More | |

| Beyond function: Edgar Orlaineta deconstructs objects and meaning in CARBON 12 show | | Rare, valuable historic coins in NYC next week | | Looking back at 2024 - looking forward to 2025 at the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna |
Orlainetas exploration of objects as non-functional or decontextualized allows him to strip them down to their purest form: a thing.
DUBAI.- CARBON 12 is presenting Edgar Orlainetas first solo exhibition with the gallery, What We See of Things is the Things. In his new body of work, Orlaineta reflects on the philosophical explorations of perception and essence, challenging traditional notions of art and the birth point of objects through his profound engagement with materiality and meaning, just as Fernando Pessoa does in his seminal book, Poemas de Alberto Caeiro (1911-1912). Orlainetas exploration of objects as non-functional or decontextualized allows him to strip them down to their purest form: a thing. What is it that differentiates things from objects, or even from art? How do these things interact with their environment? Is it the environment that gives them meaning, or vice versa? At what point during the process of making something, does it actually become something? These are some of the questions the artist aims to demystify through his processes and transformations, ...

More Alicja Kwade's first solo institutional exhibition in Hong Kong opens at Tai Kwun ContemporaryHONG KONG.- Alicja Kwade: Pretopia is the artists first solo institutional exhibition in Hong Kong. Showcasing works that span different periods of the Polish-born artists career, the exhibition reflects on our perception of time. It also proposes new perspectives for viewing and understanding reality. Pretopia shows nine works from her career, together with newly commissioned installations tailored to the history and architecture Tai Kwuns F Hall. Within the symmetrical space of the exhibition, the artist has laid out a sculptural environment where each work relies on the presence of others. In a way, the exhibition can be seen as a multiverse.

More Exhibition of luminous large-scale paintings by Catherine Howe opens at Winston Wachter Fine ArtNEW YORK, NY.- Winston Wachter Fine Art, New York is presenting Mineral Spirits, an exhibition of luminous large-scale paintings by Catherine Howe. In these dynamic new works, Howe moves her personal language of botanical painting to the edges of pure abstraction. The floral entities shift in and out of figuration, heightening their expressive power. Imagined forms dance across iridescent surfaces, void of any vases, tables, or other natural elements that would ground them in the scale of a landscape or still life. Stripped of its natural colors, the organic imagery is imbued instead with neutral tones, metallic leaf, reflective mineral pigments and glass beads that change constantly depending on the space and position of the viewer. The works are paradoxically minimal and maximal, rhythmic and static, monochromatic and full of shifting color, all ... More Alisan Fine Arts presents works by artists Bouie Choi, Chu Chu, and Jia SungNEW YORK, NY.- Alisan Fine Arts presents Hybrid Nature, an exhibition featuring artists Bouie Choi, Chu Chu, and Jia Sung. Although the three artists artworks and processes differ, they all explore forms of hybridity, both in the themes at play within them and the mediums they use. Hong Kong-based Bouie Choi is known for her use of reclaimed wood as a material, manipulating and then painting on the surface to create object-like works. Chu Chu takes the natural world as her subject in her photography-calligraphy works, increasingly blending the two practices in her various bodies of work. Jia Sung frequently incorporates embroidered elements into her paintings; interestingly, hybrid figures, part-human and part-animal, often populate her works as she delves into folkloric traditions and tropes. In her new series of work for this exhibition, ...

Bubbles, circles, hemisphere, dome, snowballs, false mirrors and real reflections, looped films, immersive installation, the works respond to each other. Word is round is an invitation to reaffirm the roundness of words (and the world). Word is round plays with twists and turns, like a spinning top that falls back on its letters. Word is round evokes the refrain, a refrain that foils the repetition of the same story, the injunction of representation and affirms differences, gaps and breaths. Word is round is a twist in language, a haiku, a koan, a pro ...
