Drawing on the themes of Interweave, the discussion will explore how textile traditions are being reimagined through digital technologies, computational processes and contemporary modes of making — from weaving and tapestry to code and AI.

Interweave brings together Bea Bonafini, Adam de Boer, LoVid, Joan Truckenbrod and aurèce vettier, tracing connections between traditional craft, cultural histories and emerging technologies across painting, sculpture and installation.

For Adam de Boer, batik becomes a means of tracing place, memory and cultural inheritance.

Long Days Wane (2022) depicts an isolated beach in Rote, Indonesia, at sunset, visited by the artist while on honeymoon that same year. Its title takes inspiration from Anthony Burgess’s semi-autobiographical trilogy The Long Day Wanes, set against the final years of British colonial rule in Malaya. For de Boer, whose own family history emerges from the Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia, the landscape opens onto wider questions around the end of empire, migration and the ways identities are reshaped across generations.

De Boer’s practice brings Western painting into dialogue with the traditional Javanese technique of batik, using its layered process of wax, dye and cloth to explore the intertwined histories of Indonesia and California. The resulting works move between the personal and historical, reflecting on cultural hybridity, displacement and belonging.

Artwork of the Week 🐈‍⬛

Celebrating International Cat Day with Farhad Nikfam’s Asthmatic Cat (2018).

Nikfam’s practice brings together the everyday and the imagined, shaped by his Iranian-Azeri background and upbringing at the crossroads of post-Soviet, South Caucasian and Persian cultures. Drawing on primitivism, industrial design and a romanticised vision of Western culture from the 1990s and 2000s, he constructs playful worlds in which familiar objects and domestic scenes take unexpected, often surreal turns.

In Asthmatic Cat, humour and absurdity meet in a characteristically direct scene — a cat, an inhaler, and a wonderfully unlikely encounter.

First presented in our exhibition Tales of the Caucasus, these intimate paintings by Agil Abdullayev capture fleeting moments of waiting, rest and embrace.

Working in oil rather than the acrylic of his earlier paintings, Abdullayev adopts a darker, more restrained palette of pale blues, deep violets and burgundy. Cropped tightly, the figures emerge from shadow and seem to dissolve into their surroundings, drawing the viewer into moments that feel at once deeply personal and quietly elusive.

Part of the artist's wider exploration of q***r identity and cruising culture, these works approach intimacy with remarkable tenderness, reflecting both lived experience and conversations that informed his research.

This week's Artwork of the Week is The Sound Check (2025) by LoVid, currently on view in Interweave at Gazelli Art House, London.

Blending analog signal patterns with silhouettes drawn from photographs of performances, rehearsals and everyday city life, The Sound Check explores touch, collaboration and human connection. Hand-embroidered details inspired by traditional lace and doilies are layered onto digitally printed textiles, reflecting LoVid's distinctive practice of merging technology with craft, and the digital with the handmade.

Based in New York, LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) have worked collaboratively since 2001, creating works that examine how technology shapes perception, communication and contemporary culture. Through textiles, video, installation and performance, they combine homemade analog synthesizers, code and tactile materials into richly textured visual languages that blur the boundaries between human and machine.

Interweave is on view at Gazelli Art House, London, until 19 September 2026.

One of the earliest works in the exhibition, In Front of the Mirror (1955) was painted when Mikayil Abdullayev was in his early thirties, just six years after graduating. Unseen publicly for many years, the painting captures a quiet, intimate moment as a woman adjusts an earring before her reflection. Painted with loose, expressive brushwork and a warm, luminous palette, the work reveals Abdullayev's sensitivity to everyday life.

On view at our London gallery until 19 September. Explore more about the exhibition via link in bio.

This week we're highlighting aurèce vettier and the monumental tapestry a family of seraphim encountered by a bearded man and a very intelligent black cat in the heart of an unsettling forest as the world enters into resonance (2026), currently on view in Interweave.

Founded in 2019 by French artist Paul Mouginot, aurèce vettier is an artistic project that explores the space between human imagination and artificial intelligence. Working with custom-trained AI models built from childhood photographs, family archives and personal memories, the artist generates dreamlike imagery that is transformed into tactile works through painting, sculpture and tapestry.

This work forms part of le travail des rêves, an ongoing body of work inspired by the Freudian concept of dream-work, where latent memories are translated into vivid, symbolic images. Woven from cotton, wool, viscose, metallic fibre, acrylic, polyester and sequins, the tapestry invites viewers into a richly textured forest where memory, mythology and machine intelligence converge. Glimmering threads and intricate details slowly reveal themselves, rewarding close looking and blurring the boundaries between the real and the imagined.

Interweave is on view at Gazelli Art House, London until 19 September.

Happy Birthday to Jake Elwes! 🩷

Jake’s pioneering practice sits at the intersection of contemporary art, artificial intelligence and q***r culture. By exposing and subverting the biases embedded within machine learning systems, their work challenges dominant narratives around technology while opening up new possibilities for inclusion, performance and play. Working across video, installation and live performance, Jake has become one of the leading voices exploring the creative and critical potential of AI in contemporary art.

We’re proud to represent Jake and celebrate the impact of their practice, which continues to shape conversations around art and technology on an international stage. Wishing them a fantastic birthday and another inspiring year ahead.

Before Nancy Grossman became internationally celebrated for her iconic leather-bound heads, she was creating collages and assemblages that laid the foundation for her distinctive visual language. A graduate of Pratt Institute in 1962, Grossman emerged at a moment when Abstract Expressionism dominated the American art scene, choosing instead to explore the psychological potential of materials, fragmentation and the figure.

Created just a year after completing her studies, Untitled (1963) captures this formative period. Layered paper, torn imagery and tactile surfaces coalesce into a work that is both intimate and unsettling, foreshadowing the visceral exploration of identity, power and vulnerability that would come to define one of the most compelling American artists of her generation.
