Nei maestosi spazi di Burlington Gardens la Galleria Pace presente le recenti opere di Francis Gray che mi ricordano molto le dinamiche di Gustave Rodin
Press Release
The first exhibition of Kevin Francis Gray’s work at Pace London. The new sculptures aim to transcend the natural and the material in both form and subject matter seeking to render a physical perfection that is not reached in the temporal world.
Kevin Francis Gray (b. in 1972 in Northern Ireland) has generated bodies of work which address the complex relationship between abstraction and figuration.
His work has been included in exhibitions at the Royal Academy, London, UK; Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, UK; Museum of Contemporary Art of the Val de-Marne, Paris, France; Nieuw Dakota, Amsterdam; Palazzo Arti Napoli, Naples, Italy; Musee d’art Moderne, Saint-Etienne, France; ARTIUM, Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv, Israel; and Art Space, New York, USA.
Mentre negli spazi di Lexington Street è in corso, sempre fino al 18 Gennaio, un'esposizione dei manufatti d'arredo ideato dal gruppo denominato Mingei, che operava negli anni 20 e 30 del secolo scorso.
Pace London's first group exhibition exploring the legacy of Mingei, a Japanese folk craft movement led by philosopher and critic Sōetsu Yanagi, and featuring paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and textile works. Curated by Nicolas Trembley, the exhibition juxtaposes historical works from Japanese Mingei artists with modern and contemporary artists inspired by Mingei.
