  • Press Release Keith Coventry Junk & Pure Junk
    PRESS RELEASE KEITH COVENTRY JUNK & PURE JUNK 24 February – 4 April 2018 Official opening and book release on Saturday February 24th, from 5 to 7 pm. Reflex Amsterdam is proud to announce the first Benelux exhibition by internationally acclaimed British artist Keith Coventry. Widely admired for his work which takes aspects modernism and grafting them on to socio- political issues, Coventry appropriates global symbols of junk culture – the golden McDonald’s arch, in particular – and recontextualises them, inviting the viewer to consider these logos afresh in a gallery context. Working in white monochrome, or colour, he hones in on the curves of the infamous “M”, cropping, recasting and framing, to striking minimalist effect. In his extensive “Estate Painting” series Coventry focuses on the architectural layouts of London’s notorious tower blocks and council estates and distils them into abstract colour block patterns which have been likened to works by Russian Constructivist painter Kazimir Malevich. In employing these tropes of modernism, Coventry has said he is returning to the original ideas of utopianism behind these urban projects – now widely regarded as failures. As Coventry put it, this kind of social housing: “it was a promise given at the beginning of the 20th century that was unfulfilled.” Living in central London, his immediate urban environs have remained Coventry’s main source of inspiration: “Making art is about the things that surround me.” Yet, despite the socio-political undertone of his work, Coventry insists: “I’m totally ambivalent. I have no message. People can take one side or another. I don’t have any polemic or didactic stance.” Coventry was born in Burnley in Lancashire, in 1958 and studied at London’s progressive Chelsea school of Art.

  • Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon
    Drawing Room, 12 Rich Estate, Crimscott Street, London SE1 5TE Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon Artists include: Tomma Abts, Roger Ackling, Anni Albers, David Austen, David Batchelor, Victor Ciato, Garth Evans, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, John Golding, Lothar Götz, Frederick Hammersley, Victoria Haven, Susan Hefuna, Eva Hesse, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Anish Kapoor, Hilma af Klint, John Latham, Bob Law, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Kazimir Malevich, Emma McNally, Sam Messenger, Nasreen Mohamedi, Jackson Pollock, Dorothea Rockburne, Mira Schendel, Richard Serra, Kishio Suga, Darrell Viner, Alison Wilding, Richard Wright. Artist Richard Deacon has selected a broad range of works by over 30 artists spanning the last 105 years on the idea of ‘abstraction’ in drawing. Deacon says: ‘This exhibition has no ambitions to be a universal survey, but in selecting a show around the idea of abstract drawing, these various strands – inscriptive, calligraphic, ornamental, generative, individuating and identifying – have all featured.’ Richard Deacon CBE is one of the most important British sculptors of his generation and has exhibited internationally since the early 1980s. He won the Turner prize in 1987, and a major retrospective exhibition of his work is presented at Tate Britain in 2014 (5 February – 27 April). The activity of drawing is crucial to his work as a sculptor, which engages with processes and means of manufacture. This deep interest in making as an activity is evident in his selection of works for Abstract Drawing. The earliest works exhibited here are drawings made in 1906 by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, recently heralded as producing the earliest forms of Western abstraction, and in 1917/18 by Kazimir Malevich, regarded as the father of abstraction.

  • Turps Studio Programme | September 2019 – July 2020
    Turps Studio Programme | September 2019 – July 2020 Application Information (deadline 5th May 2019) We are now accepting applications for the Painting Studio Programme | September 2019 – July 2020, based at Turps Art School, Taplow, Thurlow Street, London SE17 2UQ. This is a unique opportunity for a select group of painters to take up residence in their own dedicated studio within an exciting studio and gallery development in South East London, just 10 minutes from Elephant and Castle. Participants embark on a year-long programme of intensive mentoring, dynamic group seminars, talks, exhibiting opportunities, and crits with the option to stay for a second year. The course is designed to fulfill a fundamental and broad view of what we believe a solid painting programme requires by creating an environment that parallels the studio practice of an independent artist, within the supportive structure of an intensive mentoring programme. In this studio context we focus on encouraging, developing and reflecting upon the specific qualities an artist brings, and developing a high level of exchange and debate. Participants will be expected to work within this professional environment with commitment and a strong work ethic, as well as participating fully in a community-based studio. Programme Overview: • Each participant is provided with a studio space within the open plan Turps Studios with 24 hour access seven days a week. Additional benefits include kitchen and free wi-fi access. • One to One Tutorial Sessions with a team of dedicated mentors on a fortnightly basis. • Regular Dynamic Group Seminars and crits with all course members and the staff team.

  • Royal Academy of Arts Announces Election of New Professors for the Ra Schools and an Honorary Fellow
    ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS ANNOUNCES ELECTION OF NEW PROFESSORS FOR THE RA SCHOOLS AND AN HONORARY FELLOW At a recent General Assembly meeting, conducted for the first time via video conference, the Royal Academy of Arts elected Fiona Banner RA as Professor of Perspective and Lubaina Himid RA as Professor of Painting for the Royal Academy Schools. Alison Wilding RA’s appointment as Eranda Professor of Drawing has also been extended for two years. This follows the election of author Zadie Smith as Honorary Fellow earlier this year. Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press RA Elect (b.1966) Professor of Perspective Fiona Banner often works under the moniker of The Vanity Press. She established the imprint in 1997, with her seminal book The Nam. Since then she has published many works, some in the form of books, some sculptural, some performance based. In 2009 she issued herself an ISBN number and registered herself as a publication under her own name. Humour, conflict and language are at the core of her work. She first became known for her wordscapes, often heroically proportioned works that capture in her own words “films, from war blockbusters to porn”. She often works with the nude, transcribing the human form into category-defying prose. Sometimes she repurposes military aircraft to brutal, sensual, and comedic ends. Lubaina Himid RA Elect (b.1954) Professor of Painting Born in Zanzibar in 1954, Lubaina Himid is a British painter who has dedicated her four-decades- long career to uncovering marginalised and silenced histories, figures, and cultural expressions. She studied Theatre Design at Wimbledon College of Art and went on to receive an MA in Cultural History from the Royal College of Art.
