Curated by renowned contemporary artist Chuck Close, the show includes work from a wide range of both established and emerging artists: Louise Bourgeois Brice Marden Delia Brown Tony Matelli Glenn Brown Ron Mueck Maurizio Cattelan Richard Patterson Vija Celmins Richard Pettibone Jennifer Dalton Elizabeth Peyton Thomas Demand Richard Phillips Tara Donovan Marc Quinn Olafur Eliasson Alessandro Raho Dan Fischer Gerhard Richter Tom Friedman Aaron Romine Ellen Gallagher Ed Ruscha Tim Gardner Cindy Sherman Franz Gertsch James Siena Ewan Gibbs Ken Solomon Robert Gober Thomas Struth Andreas Gursky Tomoaki Suzuki Damien Hirst Yuken Teruya Jim Hodges Fred Tomaselli Naoto Kawahara Jim Torok Ellsworth Kelly Mark Wagner Cary Kwok Rachel Whiteread Robert Lazzarini Fred Wilson Graham Little Steve Wolfe Christian Marclay Lisa Yuskavage Whether it is through conceptual or technical precision, the deceptively lifelik e nature of a hand-crafted image, a playful interpretation or distortion of a familiar object or the detailed appropriation of another artist's work, an acute focus on the minute connects these works and these artists’ approaches. These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, "I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine...Most of the pleas ure is in getting the last little piece perfect." Chuck Close (b. 1940, Monroe, WA) received his B.A. from the University of Washington, Seattle before studying at Yale University School of Art and Architecture (B.F.A., 1963; M.F.A.

  • The New Portraiture
    ALTERED IMAGES: THE NEW PORTRAITURE Simply painting a portrait is so last century. Nowadays, leading artists are using diverse methods, from computer technology to neon signs, to depict a person’s character Louisa Buck, The Telegraph Luxury, 8 October 2015 Alessandro Raho, Michael Craig Martin, 2012, (left); Polka Dot Man, 2015, (right), Picture: Alessandro Raho. Courtesy of Alison Jacques Gallery From primitive images of hunters on cave walls to portraits of Medici popes and princes, the urge to portray and to be portrayed is as old as art itself. And even in our current era of selfies, Snapchat and Instagram when everyone’s smartphone can take a top-quality snap, there remains a hunger for a more formal portraiture: the National Portrait Gallery’s annual BP Portrait Award packs in the crowds every year and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters continues to rake in commissions. But at the same time the definition of what now constitutes a bespoke portrait has become as broad and as various as art itself, and many of our most progressive artists are pushing back the boundaries of the made-to- order likeness for their own artistic ends. Marc Quinn has not only produced a series of self-portrait busts from his own frozen blood, but his portrayal of Sir John Edward Sulston hanging in the NPG consists of the geneticist’s own DNA (taken from a sperm sample) preserved in agar jelly and mounted in stainless steel. Rather more restrained is German artist Tobias Rehberger’s practice of portraying his subjects as sculptured flowers in vases – patrons are invited to bring along their favourite blooms – while French artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s family portrait for Cincinatti collector Andy Stillpass took the form of a freestanding metal clothesline festooned with white clothes belonging to each family member.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ALESSANDRO RAHO 7 SEPTEMBER – 6 OCTOBER 2012 OPENING: THURSDAY 6 SEPTEMBER, 6 – 8PM ʻSince the mid-1990s, Alessandro Raho has been advancing and refining a manner of figurative painting in which the sentience of human presences synonymous with a profound, existential and spiritual sense of being…The figures in his portraits possess the sense of having been re-born – as though cleansed beyond death – or of being seen as platonically ʻrealisedʼ, beyond the less substantial shadow versions of themselves that go about their terrestrial business.ʼ Michael Bracewell, Alessandro Raho, Lund Humphries, 2011 This is Alessandro Rahoʼs second solo show at Alison Jacques Gallery. The subjects he depicts – whether self-portraits, friends or family – are presented in pared down form: each figure centred and isolated on a monochrome ground. Raho's use of harsh, artificial, frontal lighting in studio photoshoots is carried through to the look of his canvases. The patterned or blocked colour of his subjects' clothing deliberately contrasts with the reoccurring white or pastel tones of his backgrounds. This attention to abstract composition might objectify the sitters, if it wasnʼt for Rahoʼs ability to render the subtlest traces of their mood in the direction of a gaze, or the slight up or downward curve of a personʼs mouth. His figures are presented with an unapologetic frontality, free from context or narrative, so as to make the subjectsʼ straightforward presence tangible. Whilst the portraits look to be of the ʻeverydayʼ, and indeed many of Rahoʼs paintings show sitters in their own clothes, he has increasingly come to select what they wear for the pictures.

  • IPG Spring 2020 Art Titles - February 2020 Page 1
    Art Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} Biographic Picasso Natalia Price-Cabrera Summary Many people know that Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker and poet, a pioneer of Modernism and Cubism whose works include Les Demoiselles D’Avignon . What, perhaps, they don’t know is that his full name is 23 words long; that he painted 15 different versions of Les Femmes D’Algers , one of which sold in 2015 for $179 million; that doctors thought he was stillborn until his uncle blew cigar smoke into his face; and that he was interviewed by police over the theft of the Mona Lisa . Biographic: Picasso presents a modern study of his life and work, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the artist behind the pictures.

    Press Release VIGO 22 Old Bond Street London W1S 4PY 0207 491 1485 [email protected] www.vigogallery.com LEONARDO DREW 12 October – 11 November 2011 Private view: Tuesday 11th October 2011 VIGO, the latest contemporary gallery to open in Old Bond Street is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of wall based tree sculptures by American artist Leonardo Drew, on view from 12th October – 11th November 2011. Drew is known for sculptural installations most often based on exploration of a grid or framework, which incorporate created, manipulated and found materials constructed from fabricated wood, tree branches, roots, paper, raw cotton, rust, found objects and mud. He re- examines and re- invents these objects and materials, which are often loaded with multiple afro- American historical, cultural and social connotations. They engage with the cyclical and transient nature of life and the passing of time, yet ultimately rely on his formal abstract compositional ability, working on a purely aesthetic level. Drew tends to offer no prescriptive explanations, seeing the works as mirrors, and individuals’ interpretation as part of the contract. In his latest work, Drew presents wall sculptures composed of painted, machine- cut wood and natural tree roots, which suggest man and nature in both harmony and opposition, battling against and coming together in repetitive but variant structure. Drew’s last show in New York introduced these urban tree works on a grand scale with the majority of the sculptures entering US museum collections. The constructions in the current exhibition have an intensity often found in the large- scale museum works when viewed from afar.
