Water was one of the most profound and enduring elements in Klaus Rinke’s artistic practice. Throughout his work, water was never simply a material or a subject. It became a way of thinking about time, space, movement and transformation. From his pioneering water actions and installations to his photographs, drawings and paintings, Rinke continually explored the fluidity of perception and the passage of time.
Even in his paintings, water resonates as a conceptual presence: a surface made of drops that reflects, dissolves, shifts and transforms. It connects the physical and the ephemeral, the body and its environment, making visible the constant movement at the heart of existence.
For Rinke, water was not merely represented. It was observed, measured, experienced and transformed into art.

Opening tomorrow at MAC - Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone ✨
・・・
🎨 Il MAC - Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone dedica la nuova edizione del Premio Lissone Design al tema dell’abitare e del vivere contemporaneo, attraverso una mostra che mette in dialogo arte e design per interrogarsi sul futuro degli oggetti, degli spazi e della vita quotidiana.

Le case in cui viviamo cambiano rapidamente, così come cambiano le nostre abitudini, le relazioni e il modo in cui costruiamo la nostra quotidianità.
Con “HOW TO LIVE?” il MAC prosegue il percorso di ricerca avviato con la precedente edizione del Premio Design “Abitare la città”, ampliando lo sguardo dal contesto urbano agli spazi e agli oggetti attraverso cui costruiamo il nostro modo di vivere.

La mostra, curata dal Direttore Stefano Raimondi, riunisce le opere di John Armleder, Lynda Benglis, Marco Cingolani, Wim Delvoye, Gelitin, Christian Holstad, Bryan Hunt, Ryan Mendoza, Jonathan Monk, Luigi Ontani, Jack Pierson, Paola Pivi, Wilfriedo Prieto, Rob Pruitt, Erik Saglia, Sam Samore e John Torreano.
Durante l’esposizione una giuria composta da curatori di istituzioni museali italiane selezionerà le opere che, attraverso il premio acquisizione, entreranno a far parte della collezione permanente del MAC.

Opening: sabato 10 ottobre 2026, ore 18.00.
L’inaugurazione si terrà in occasione della Ventiduesima Giornata del Contemporaneo, promossa da AMACI - Associazione dei Musei d’Arte Contemporanea Italiani.

Questa mostra rappresenta un invito a guardare in modo diverso gli spazi che abitiamo, gli oggetti che ci circondano e le forme attraverso cui costruiamo la nostra quotidianità.

Thomas Brambilla gallery is pleased to announce the co-representation of Christopher Le Brun (b. 1951, in Portsmouth, UK; lives and works in Bruton, UK).

The artist is one of the leading British painters of his generation, celebrated internationally since the 1980s, making both figurative and abstract work in painting, sculpture, and print.
Le Brun employs a mastery of touch and colour alongside a profound understanding of art history and a wide range of visual, musical and literary sources. He has remained consistent in adhering to what he feels to be the essential poetry and pleasure of painting for its own sake, led by intuition and visual imagination and resistant to external justification.

His work can be found in museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Yale Center for British Art, New Haven; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Tate, the V&A and the British Museum, London; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney. Recent acquisitions include Tate, London, the Museum of Contemporary Art & Urban Planning (MoCAUP) Shenzhen, the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford CT and Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery, UK, which have all acquired major works. He was an instrumental public figure in his role as President of the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 2011 to 2019. He was awarded a Knighthood (Knight Bachelor) for services to the Arts in the 2021 New Year Honours
The collaboration marks a new chapter in the gallery’s ongoing engagement with artists whose practices expand the possibilities of painting and its relationship to poetry, memory, and imagination.
Le Brun is also represented by Lisson Gallery, London; Almine Rech, Paris and Albertz Benda, New York.

Installation views of our current solo show “Then and Now” by Robert Feintuch at the gallery ✨
The exhibition is on view until November 27th, 2026.

“Then and Now” presents a selection of works from 2003 to 2020 by New York-based painter Robert Feintuch. The artist has a long history of using himself as a model, often depicted from behind, modeling poses that range from naturalistic postures and childhood cartoon shapes to classical references like Bacchus, Hercules, and the Assumption. Through these self-modeled figures, Feintuch blends vulnerability, myth, and religious motifs to explore gesture, power, and human posture.
The exhibition spans early cloud studies created while recovering in Bellagio over Lake Como—evoking mortality and natural processes—to recurring fire bucket imagery (“IRE”), which speaks to personal and political emergencies. Through tragicomic wordplay on idioms like “kicking the bucket” and depictions of his own ascending feet, Feintuch creates a deeply human commentary on authority, fragility, and impermanence.

Great art, Maggi Hambling tells hube, is what emerges when an artist grapples with the truth of their existence. It is a response to what it means to live, she says, and crucially, what it means to die.

Hambling, who turned 80 last year, remains one of England’s most prolific—if not controversial—artists. The maverick Hambling, who for many years refused to be photographed without a scowl or cigarette, is perhaps best publicly known for her sculpture: a smiling Oscar Wilde emerging from a granite sarcophagus, hair askew, cigarette in hand; a fractured scallop shell, monumental in size, for the composer Benjamin Britten; a n**e and bountifully bushed figure rising from a swirling silver mass to commemorate the founding feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. These works, along with her portraits and turbulent seascapes, have inspired admiration and argument—none of which bothers Hambling, fond as she is of Wilde’s famous line: “When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself.”

Our upcoming FW26/27 issue features an exclusive conversation with Maggi Hambling. Pre-order your copy now via the link in bio.

“For the past three decades, Robert Feintuch’s work has grappled with the male figure, using his own body to explore the comedies of masculinity, presumptions of power, and fallibility—as much his own as those of the human. The history of painting is never far from his mind.” — A. J. Godetzky

The precise geometries of Saglia’s works evoke the intricate mechanisms of an astrolabe, transforming scientific data and orbital trajectories into visual compositions. Like the ancient instrument that translated the position of the stars into a system of coordinates, Saglia seeks to make visible what is otherwise beyond our direct perception. The works invite us to look closely and critically, becoming, in a sense, navigators of our own sky.

solo show “Then and Now” opens this Saturday October 3rd at 6:30PM !
For Robert Feintuch, drawing is not simply a preparation for painting, but a space of transformation and repetition. Through shifting, fragmenting and restaging the figure, the same body appears again and again in different forms. Drawing becomes a theatre of repetition, where familiar images lose their certainty and representation itself remains unstable.
