This week London is being taken over by the art world as Frieze kicks off, so we attended the first London solo show of German painter Jonas Burgert in over five years, following his last exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in 2006.

‘STÜCK HIRN BLIND’ (Poison Against Time) at Blain|Southern gallery features monumental paintings illustrating the meaning of existence through apocalyptic scenes with unearthly creatures, amazons, skeletons, animals, as well as bronze sculptures.

Ludo - Chaos Theory

Following our recent studio visit (see here), we attended the solo exhibition ‘Chaos Theory‘ of French artist Ludo at Lazarides Rathbone in London. Live butterflies were fluttering during the opening much to the delight of onlookers. Inspired by the theory of “The Butterfly Effect,” Ludo decided to focus on a more personal interpretation of his cultural inspirations with a selection of neon green and monochrome canvases.

London: Faith47 – Aqua Regalia

October 10, 2014 butterfly

In parallel to the upcoming Moniker Art Fair a solo show ‘Aqua Regalia‘ by South African artist Faith47 just opened at the Old Truman Brewery in London. Juxtapozing religious iconography and sacred geometry with everyday found objects, her artworks illustrate pictorial representations of incarnated divinity from wildlife to female figures.
