‘Tethering,’ a solo exhibition by South African-British artist and poet Eliza Kentridge, is now open at Cecilia Brunson Projects.

The exhibition centres around an expansive embroidered installation: a patchwork of teabags, brewed, dried, emptied and quilted together. Over this ground of marbled coppery and caramel tea tones are Kentridge’s intricate embroideries, a constellation of imaginary figures and abstract symbols of botanical, cosmic and heraldic form. The product of countless cups of tea shared with her 101-year-old father, it is an adornment of the everyday and a register of time well spent in the care of loved ones.

 Please save the date for an exhibition walkthrough and breakfast at the gallery with the artist on Friday 26 July, 11am

Lucía Pizzani’s new sculptural commission for the Harewood Biennial at

Installed in the Walled Vegetable Garden, ‘Cultivo y Memoria (Crop and Memory)’ is made from ceramic sculptures, live plants, and fallen arboreal fragments from the Harewood landscape. The work explores ideas around spirituality in the vegetal world and ancient knowledge by using the ‘three sisters;’ a way of planting in the Americas where corn, beans and squash complement each other in a collaborative growth process.

is one of three artists commissioned to produce a new installation for the 2024 Harewood Biennial. Pizzani worked with the historic house’s head gardener Trevor Nicholson to produce the ceramic installation, which is on view until 20 October 2024, and will transform over the summer as the garden continues to grow.

We are very excited to share that we will be presenting Lucía Pizzani’s work at Frieze London this October, as part of ‘Smoke,’ a section curated by

‘Smoke’ brings together international artists working at the forefront of ceramics today, exploring diasporic and indigenous histories and presenting ceramics as one of the most impactful aesthetic forms in contemporary art.

has worked with ceramics for over 15 years, celebrating the medium’s ancestral histories in both the UK and Venezuela as she narrates human and botanical stories in her practice. We are delighted that she has been selected to share her work at in this important curation centring diasporic artists.

Meanwhile, Pizzani’s solo exhibition ‘Rites, Seeds and Refuge’ continues at Cecilia Brunson Projects until 9 August, 2024. Follow the link in our bio to learn more.

Shown alongside her canvases, Eleonore Koch’s tempera on paper studies reveal her meticulous revision of each composition.

The writing below this study refers to the specific pigments used, a reference to later translate the work to canvas. Koch was the only student of the Brazilian master Alfredo Volpi, who developed his own recipe for mixing egg tempera. She brought many of Volpi’s pigments with her to London, which are noted here, including ‘Verde Volpi’ and ‘Vermelho Volpi.’

The two works illustrated were painted almost a decade apart, as Koch repeatedly returned to familiar subjects, experimenting with the colour and arrangement of forms. She sought the ‘resolution of the painting,’ according to Volpi’s teachings, with the landscape serving as a field in which to perfect the relationships between line, colour and space.

Closing this week: Eleonore Koch

Eleonore Koch’s embrace of the traditional genres, including still life and landscape painting, set her against the main currents of Brazilian art - a modernism built on the Concretist desire for total abstraction.

With motifs and compositions repeated across multiple paintings, the still life genre offered Koch endless capacity for experimentation, as she sought to perfect the communication between colours above all else.

Exhibition closes this Friday 28 June.

Lucia Pizzani’s ceramic sculptures in her current exhibition ‘Rites, Seeds and Refuge.’

has worked with ceramics for over 15 years, and this medium takes focus in the exhibition. Many of the sculptures are textured with corn, or incorporate dried, treated corn cobs into their composition (such as Jojoto Rojo, taking its name from the Venezuelan word for corn), as Pizzani celebrates its central importance as a staple food across Latin America. Meanwhile, other works are imprinted with the seeds of plants such as eucalyptus or pine - monocultures now widely cultivated in Latin America which threaten biodiversity. Pizzani’s work speaks to our interdependence with the natural world: the nourishment it provides and the need for us to protect it.

Eleonore Koch: Am Cena [On the Scene] at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo

Eleonore Koch’s work is currently celebrated in this major retrospective, the artist’s largest exhibition to date, curated by Fernanda Pitta. ‘The metaphor behind the exhibition’s title draws from cinema… Many of the artworks resemble sets for events that have just unfolded or are yet to occur. The near-total absence of the human figure is contradicted by the recurring presence of objects brimming with affection, characters of a silent plot.’

——

While the German-born artist spent most of her life in Brazil, it was during her time living in London in the 1970s-80s that she was first able to dedicate herself solely to painting, through the support of British patrons. Works from her London years are on view at Cecilia Brunson Projects until 28 June.

In the Viewing Room: Eleonore Koch

We are pleased to share our current exhibition of tempera painting and works on paper by Eleonore Koch (b. 1926, Berlin, d. 2018, São Paulo).

Eleonore Koch is not easily placed in the narrative of Brazilian art history. Her singular figurative style, developed against a culture dominated by male geometric abstractionists, has delayed full appreciation of her achievement in transmitting to her viewers a wholly subjective sense of seeing and being in the world.

Focused on the artist’s time living in London, this exhibition includes works never before exhibited, from the collection of her most important British patron. We are pleased to share works from these formative years, which so concisely capture the processes of one of Brazil’s most unique and visionary artists.

Exhibition open until 28 June

In her new exhibition, Rites, Seeds and Refuge, presents a site-specific installation in the gallery courtyard. Between walls of ivy and rosebushes, clay sculptures provide a home for tropical plants, drawing on the artist’s memories growing up in the green valleys of Caracas near Venezuela’s Caribbean coast.

The sounds of these plants’ pollinators fill the exhibition space, with a soundscape produced by Ezequiel Pizzani incorporating the wind, the batting wings of hummingbirds and the buzzing of bees.

Sergio Camargo, Untitled, c.1970, currently on display in our viewing room.

Sergio Camargo’s polychrome wooden reliefs form an integral and iconic part of his practice, through which he probes the endless possibilities of geometric compositions. Experimenting with the direction, scale and concentration of wooden dowels in each relief, they at once carry the logical clarity and man-made precision of minimalist sculpture, and evoke myriad natural forms including crystals, corals, cumulous clouds, animal teeth, or long grass rushing in the wind.

Guy Brett, who wrote extensively on Camargo’s work throughout his career, encouraged a reading of each relief only secondarily as a sculptural form, and primarily as a base for studies of light: ‘a kind of white mould into which light seems to imprint its natural rhythm; it bears the traces of each slight transformation as clean morning light changes to plain afternoon light and later to elusive evening light. It is not there to tell us anything but to return, amplified, what we bring to it. The white solids are not felt as solids; the shadows and relations are felt, more strongly, and these are the immaterial traces of the element’s volume. Volume, in Camargo’s reliefs, though in reality it exists, is perceived as virtual.’

Since 2022, David Batchelor has worked closely with craftspeople in Guadalajara, Marrakech and London to explore the possibilities of translating his work into new textile media. For his current exhibition at Cecilia Brunson Projects, he produced his first quilt works in collaboration with quilt-maker Catherine-Marie Longtin.

The quilts developed from Batchelor’s Covid Variation series - bold geometric images made predominantly with paint or lengths of coloured tape. In the quilts, the textural variations that occur in his habitual materials are pulled to extremes through the variety of natural, synthetic, luxury and technical fabrics sourced from across London.

We’re presenting works by Feliciano Centurión and Katie van Scherpenberg. The practices of both artists are rooted in the geographies of their respective birthplaces: Brazil and Paraguay. The flora and fauna of Paraguay are foundational in Centurión’s exuberant imaginary while van Scherpenberg’s time spent on the Amazon River informs her paintings that seek knowledge and community with nature. Both artists use textiles in their work to question patriarchal narratives and hegemonies.
