Ekaterina Grigoryeva: From the gallery collection

12 May 2020 – 26 May 2020

Ekaterina Grigoryeva - Honored Artist of Russia, a member of the Petrovsky Academy of Science and Arts and International Federation of Arts. Born in 1940 in Moscow. In childhood, she studied at an art school, graduated from the Moscow Radio Engineering College. Painting has remained a hobby for a long time, and the artist's early works are not very remarkable. Later, while working as an engineer, she began to study painting with the artist Eduard Drobitsky, who at that time was the chairman of the Moscow Committee of Graphic Artists on Malaya Gruzinskaya street, the epicenter of unofficial art of the USSR and, in essence, the first "island of creative freedom" in Moscow 1970s-1980s. Recalling this time, Ekaterina Grigoryeva wrote: "For real, I began to work normally after my 40s. I fell into very good hands with Eduard Drobitsky. If I had not joined him and his people, I would have remained a gray mouse. Thus, the artist became a member of the group, which included such masters of Soviet non-conformism as O. Kandaurov, D. Plavinsky, V. Nemukhin, O. Rabin, N. Vechtomov, and many others. According to Grigorieva friendship with Anatoly Zverev gave her a completely new perspective on art, with his artistic method, about which he said: "The faster the work is written, the more honest and clean it is." Ekaterina agreed with this method, she wrote in her diaries: "I am painting fast, without thinking about what happens. It's not important what you paint, but it's important how you paint, how you convey feelings within yourself, the rampage of your soul. " So, to the early '80s. Of the twentieth century, Ekaterina Grigorieva formed her unique art style. Having received indulgence from her colleagues from the workshop for complete creative freedom, the artist plunged headlong into the study of abstract expressionism and chose for herself a more restrained and aesthetic European branch of this art style. The artist's paintings do not fight with anything, do not call on barricades. Grigorieva is not a conceptualist and does not want to fill her art space with appeals and accusations, which very clearly distinguishes her from the general trends of the Russian underground culture of that time. The artist was interested in the process of understanding harmony through color and composition. Flowers on her canvases are a certain code. The abstraction in her works overlaps the recognition of the original floral motifs. Historians of post-war unofficial art will immediately name, probably, a dozen female artists - active participants of the informal art processes of that period. But Grigorieva is probably almost the only one who did not try on the "Amazonian armor". In the Russian art culture, fully oriented to masculinity, it is fearless to openly indicate your female nature. In many respects, precisely due to the feminine tenderness of her art (which in no way detracts from its innovativeness), unlike other representatives of abstraction during the USSR, her paintings were difficult to be criticized negatively, which allowed her to exhibit more often and quickly win the love of the audience, and even the crowd of imitators, who until now, after almost half a century, continue the attempts to copy her style, not realizing that it was always a matter of truthfulness of emotions and spontaneity, that the artist every time left on her canvases. The collection presented in this exhibition dates back to the period of the 1990s - early 2000s. (The artist died in 2004). Now, when the trends in Russian and world art markets included artists of "Malaya Gruzinskaya" and "Lianozovo group", it's just a right time to and reopens the paintings of one of the most original artists of nonconformism era.

Sitzfleisch, a solo exhibition by Susanne Wawra

18 May 2020 – 12 Jun 2020

Sitzfleisch (Sitting Flesh) or The German Art Of Sitting (On Your Behind) Susanne Wawra visually tackles the German concept of Sitzfleisch, one of these compound words that express a certain quality that can't quite be grasped in the English language. Literally translated, sitzfleisch means 'sitting flesh' or 'sitting meat', a term for one's behind or bottom. In its use, to have sitzfleisch means the ability to sit still for long periods of time to be productive, a certain stamina at work and in life working through a situation or bringing a project to an end. Wawra's works are a play on endurance, staying power as well as sitting and flesh; with an autobiographical and associative approach. This is translated into different forms of expression: her characteristic layered mixed media pieces as well as drawings, oil painting, ceramics and sculpture.

LEK - Exposition en 3D

Lek intègre la déstructuration au cœur de son processus de création. Trois lettres L.E.K. subsistent pour ce qu’elles sont. Des lignes. Pour ce qu’elles suggèrent. Puissance et concision. Cette exposition en 3D rassemble des œuvres qui définissent le style l’artiste par leur graphisme, leur rythme et leur architecture. La graphie devient un outil abstrait. Les lettres se transforment, s’assemblent en segments peints ou construits en bandes adhésives, sortent du cadre et oscillent entre verticales, diagonales et horizontales. L’harmonie est au rendez-vous.

CIRCLES by Hamish Macaulay

11 May 2020 – 10 Jun 2020

This exhibition of recent mixed media works centre around my fascination with the art of seeing. I have created this new body of work within circles to simulate looking at the world outside (or within) through a porthole. The world we are viewing through these windows is a world of contrasts - a world consisting of so many examples of elements interacting with each other - Nature vs. Structure. ---------------- Growing up in New Zealand, coastal and mountain themes have been predominant in my work. With my home now in London, I am influenced by how man-made structures compete with the landscape. I feature the contrast between the strong, angular lines of architectural forms (usually brutalist or modernist structures) interacting with the fluid, organic backdrop of abstracted/imagined landforms, which I refer to as “Earth Skeletons”.

Some things mysterious boys do

27 May 2020 – 14 Jun 2020

Afikaris offers a breath of fresh air and freedom with a solo show of Ghanaian photographer Nana Yaw Oduro. “Some things mysterious boys do” perfectly illustrates Nana Yaw Oduro’s poetical images that showcase male characters in situations both quirky and graphical, underlining their bodies’ geometry. Through his work, Ghanaian photographer Nana Yaw Oduro - born in 1994 - translates his emotions and materialises his vision of life. His photographs share his feelings and give life to his imaginary worlds, between infinite beaches and desert plains.

ELEMENTS

16 May 2020 – 09 Jun 2020

ELEMENTS is an online, 3D virtual exhibition featuring 14 international artists from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The theme of ELEMENTS brings together artworks by 14 leading and emerging international artists. The exhibition provides an exploration of the theme as perceived from various contexts and lenses. The display includes a variety of media and practice, varying the interpretations and blurring the lines in our perception of space, nature and the immaterial. Elements was conceived as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, where many art fairs, exhibitions, conferences and talks were cancelled or indefinitely postponed. The impact for artists has been felt in their continued practice, ability to share their work with the public and their sources of income. This exhibition allows the featured artists to continue sharing their work with global audiences and gives you the opportunity to view the collection from the comfort and safety of your home. Proceeds from sales will contribute towards supporting the artists’ practice directly and 20% will also go towards the Orphans in Need charity. All prices are without framing, postage, packing or insurance (unless stated otherwise). Please contact us or the artists for further details.

20 May 2020 – 20 Jun 2020

INFACESTROKADA Cezar Arro "In this show, it is indeed the incandescent female face that prevails and dominates, not only across Arro’s bristling canvases but in the entire gallery space. And while the women’s faces have indeed been wrought and stroked with heavy impastos, turned over this way and that, projected in triple views, or multi-angled, swathed in trowelled pigments, their gazes blurred, their eyes caught in distress, panic, or alarm, and naked with fear and anxiety, facial muscles contorted, their outlines misregistered – Arro invites us to savor the moment of each painting’s creation, and thereby witness the shifting gradations of emotions, splendid in their mobility, theatrical in their nobility, and regard the rich lusciousness of paint as the equivalence of human skin, and forthwith await the sumptuous pleasure of the female flesh. Indeed, it was the American Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning, famous for his “Women” series, who declared: “Flesh is the reason oil paint was invented.”' _ For inquiries, send us a message or email us at galerieroberto.adm@gmail.com Follow us on www.instagram.com/galerieroberto Like us on www.facebook.com/GalerieRoberto Visit our website www.galerieroberto.com

Ivana Živić - Sobe od vode (izložba slika)

26 May 2020 – 06 Jun 2020

Slavica Obradinović, istoričar umetnosti Sobe od vode Stvaralaštvo Ivane Živić već duži niz godina privlači pažnju kritike i publike na našim prostorima. Njan rad u kontinuitetu donosi zapažena likovna ostvarenja koje karakteriše menjanje stila, pristupa i likovnog izraza, što svakako obogaćuje delovanje, donosi svežinu i ukazuje na Ivaninu konstantnu okrenutost ka eksperimentu. Opčinjenost vodom, plivanjem, ljudskom figurom, enetrijerom, draperijom izrodilo je dostignuća prepoznatljivog likovnog izraza svojstvenih Ivani Živić. Кao vrsan crtač u domenu slike rađene u tehnici ulja na platnu velikog formata umetnica nam predočava svoj talenat i veštinu. Baveći se ovom temom od 2013. godine nastao je ciklus slika Sobe od vode gde slikarka ostaje verna realističnom pristupu slikanja. Kulminacija razvoja teme se ogleda u slikama nastalim tokom 2019. godine što predstavlja zrelu fazu stvaralaštva. Ovde nailazimo na pročišćavanje stila, svođenje elemenata, ukrupnjavanje bojenih površina. Umetnica pažljivo bira daetalje pažljivo i dalje im posvećujući veliku pažnju, vešto ih obrađuje i uspešno naglašava strukturu materijala od kojeg su napravljeni. Na slikama stvara nadrealan, fantastičan, imaginaran svet prepun mašte, snoviđenja, nadanja, slobode pokreta i samoće koja oslobađa. Obradi teme Ivana prilazi studiozno, dok slikarske predloške pažljivo osmišljava i bira. Evidentno je njeno poznavanje režije i upućenost u filmsku umetnost, jer je svaka slika sekvenca iz filma u kojoj su maestralno pozicionirani akteri priče. Кadrove, brižljivo priprema baveći se enterijerom/kulisama, kostimom, plivačem i svakim najsitnijim detaljem na slici. Modeli su obučeni u dizajnirane haljine bogatog drapiranog materijala, različite strukture u kojima plivajući prave dinamične i interesantne pokrete. Кostimima daje poseban značaj opredeljujući se za saradnju sa našim mladim modnim kreatorima. Detaljno i dobro osmišljene scene ispod vode umetnica sama fotografiše i naknadno uklapa u reprezentativne realne enterijere kao što su: kripta hrama Sv. Save u Beogradu, salon dvorca Špicer u Beočinu, džamija u Isfahanu u Iranu. Кao slikar Ivana Živić je ostala verna štafelajnoj slici, na kojoj dominira intenzivan kolorit. Boju nanosi u širokim potezima pokrivajući veće površine i na taj način gradi sliku gde preovladava širok spektar plave i zelene uz koje postavlja crvenu, žutu, zlatnu i ostale čiste i intenzivne boje spektra. Pozicionirajnjem određenog tona u prvi plan umetnica naglašava emociju slike i određuje tok misli posmatrača. Slikarka znalački obrađuje prelamanje svetlosti koje se dešava prilikom dodira sa vodom, tako da se kroz njene slike naslućuju vizuelne forme kaleodoskopa. Igra svetlosti i senke i vešto baratanje različitim uglovima sagledavanja i perspektive doprinose dinamici slike. Ivana Živić je ugradila sopstveno biće u svoje stvaralaštvo, slike duboko promišlja i posvećena je njihovom izvođenju. Ciklus slika Sobe od vode se konstantno i postepeno razvija, i sigurno je da će umetnica u narednom periodu ostvariti sasvim nova likovna ostvarenja podjednako snažna i inovativna. Ivana Živić rođena je 1979. u Sarajevu (BIH). Diplomirala je na Fakultetu likovnih umetnosti Univerziteta umetnosti u Beogradu, odsek slikarstvo (2004). Na istom univerzitetu završila je postdiplomske studije (2008). Izlagala je na 20 samostalnih i preko 50 grupnih izložbi u zemlji i inostranstvu. Nagrade: Nagrada za crtež Nacionalng udruženja likovnih umetnosti Francuske/La Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, 2020; Fond Vladimira Veličkovića 2016, Nagrada Rotari kluba 2014, Beograd; Nagrada za proizvodni rad, Fond Mangelos 2012, Drugo bijenale crteža u Pančevu.
