"London’s Waddington Custot gallery is celebrating the work of the contemporary French-Argentine sculptor with a series of digital solo exhibitions throughout the month of September. A presentation of some of the artist’s most iconic works will complement the online project in the gallery space."

The first digital exhibition will launch September 4, while the second part will launch September 23 on Waddington Custot’s website. Both will run until October 25. The gallery presentation will open to the public from September 4 to 27 at Waddington Custot gallery in London.

NEW WORK: David Batchelor, is now open online, marking the third iteration of the Waddington Custot digital exhibition series and the gallery’s first solo presentation by the Dundee-born artist. Bringing together a collection of Batchelor’s most recent sculptural works, the exhibition emphasises the artist’s distinct approach to colour, one defined by and tied to experiences of the city.

The works on display are created from offcuts and found materials, which are then embedded into a concrete structure, relating to the manifestation of colour in the built environment. These pieces echo the jagged cement-and-broken-glass compositions that often adorn the top of brick walls in towns and cities.

Peter Blake shares artistic message of hope for London.

Pop Art legend, Peter Blake has created a new work of art to unite Londoners in the face of Covid-19, with a message that speaks to everyone across the globe. Blake’s artwork captures the spirit of standing together whilst we have to be physically apart.

Taking the rainbow as its central image, a motif that has quickly become a symbol of hope, with children placing their drawings in windows across the world, Blake’s artwork is featured as the back cover of today’s Evening Standard, allowing people to repurpose the newspaper page as a poster of their own.

Blake has created the work from his home and studio, where he, like many of us, is currently in self-isolation, commenting, ‘I have carried on working, and as all appointments have been postponed, work is less interrupted than usual’.

As a further encouragement to people during this time, Peter notes that ‘to make art would certainly be positive. It is time consuming and we certainly need to fill time, it is calming and you can work with very simple tools, a pencil & paper, which everyone has, would suffice’.

In lieu of the commission, the Evening Standard has made a charitable donation in Peter Blake’s name, to The Graeae Theatre Company, Bradbury Studios, London, a charity of Blake’s choice, which supports disabled actors and is a lifeline to them all.

Close up on 'Hare and Bell' by Barry Flanagan on our stand @TEFAF Maastricht.
---
Here Flanagan’s gravity-defying hare bounds over the narrow crescent and the weighty dome of the bell. Exuding an air of playfulness, the sculpture conveys Flanagan’s interest in mythology with the hare (long-associated with constellations, the Chinese believe the hare is the sole inhabitant of the moon) leaping over a moon crescent. While the bell dome is present – a symbol of steadfast solidity and settled communities – it’s the madcap hare who takes centre stage; a spirit of anarchy that Flanagan himself deftly encouraged.

Writings on the Wall

Worth reading: This review by Daniel Pateman in The Brooklyn Rail. Thank you for your in-depth engagement with our current show. On view until 8 August. https://brooklynrail.org/2019/06/artseen/Writings-on-the-Wall

Each artist honors a legacy of mark-making in their work: finding inspiration in the cave petroglyphs of our most distant ancestors; the mutable materiality of the urban environment; and the accumulated etchings of the city milieu.

Patrick Caulfield is captured by the photographer, Michael Cooper in this portrait from 1966. At just 30 years old, Caulfield was at this point on the cusp of fame, just three years out of Royal College of Art and with a couple of solo exhibitions under his belt. He will not have known at this point the immense impact his highly recognisable style would have on artists after him.

In 1934 Hepworth had triplets, and rather than let this deter her from working, she pursued the theme of mother and child in her sculptural works. Hepworth’s abstract depictions of Mother & Child series are evocative and often very moving. Pictured above she stands with her work, Mother and Child. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the fantastic women artists balancing their practice with motherhood.

Currently showing at the @museepicassoparis is the feted ‘Calder-Picasso’ which connects Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso, two of the most influential figures of twentieth-century art, through their exploration of the void and the absence of space. Calder is known for developing his mobile, a type of kinetic art which relied on careful weighting to achieve balance and suspension in the air, whilst Picasso wanted to represent the ‘non-space’ through expressing contortions of time in his portraits. The show is open until 25 August 2019.

Manolo Millares is renowned for his dramatic ‘collages’ created using burlap sackcloth, which is stretched taut and sewn roughly together to create tears and voids. His vital, gestural paintwork in sombre tones of black and white is spattered and dripped across the surface. This work, on our booth at @tefaf_art_fair this weekend, was made in 1957, the same year the artist was included in the Venice Biennale. Visit us on booth 538 to see the work in its entirety and feel its full impact.

Alice Anderson: Body Disruptions is now open until 10 May, including ‘Nuhé’: an ongoing sculpture (from the architecture data series) woven over several collective performances to reach its 21 structural elements.

A Nuhé is a temple and political gathering place for the Kogi community that reflects the social bond of the group that built it. In the ‘memorisation’ of ‘Nuhé’, performers each travelled around one with wire recording the marks of their bodies’ disruptions.

Bold prints and graphic still life works are distinctive to Patrick Caulfield. He is known for his pared down, still lifes and interiors, carefully composed with thick black lines and even fields of colour. Human figures are rarely depicted, but tell-tale signs of human presence abound in Caulfield’s enigmatic world.
Our collection features some of his most striking paintings, such as ‘Evening Paper’, 1999.

Opening today in Paris, Fabienne Verdier’s exhibition ‘Ainsi la nuit’ at @galerielelong is presenting two new series of works.
‘’Inspired by a young quartet in the Visitation Chapel (Aix-en-Provence), this series is the fruit of two years of work during which time the abstract structures of music have gradually enriched the pictorial experience’’, Fabienne Verdier explains.
The Granet museum in Aix en Provence is preparing a retrospective for summer 2019.
