Gao Xingjian, two simultaneous exhibitions in Brussels

Retrospective of Gao Xingjian, prolific author, winner in 2000 of the Nobel prize in Literature, Frenchman of Chinese descent, invites to discover the powerful and poetic work of an extraordinary contemporary artist. His work is devoted to the free exploration of a stream of consciousness through the movement of ink on paper. The awakening of consciousness, is an exhibition including six monumental works by Gao Xingjian, especially created for the room they are displayed in. In his ‘awakenings of consciousness’, the artist invites the wanderer to cross the image and to encounter, beyond the ink, the idea itself in its existential nudity.

Big Paintings of Peter Halley at Florence Griswold Museum, Connecticut

Big Paintings is a focused look at some of the artist’s most monumental paintings spanning his career from the 1980s to the present day. Since developing his iconic style in the early 1980s, Halley has worked at the forefront of a group of artists reinvigorating American abstraction with a critical lens focused on contemporary culture. Organized by the Museum’s assistant curator Benjamin Colman, this exhibition of nine monumental paintings highlights the evolution of Halley’s bold style and the sophistication of his ideas.

Peter Halley at Proyectos in Art Bo fair by Jose Roca’s curation

Peter Halley’s project is an homage to Latin American Modernism. The booth combines five new paintings executed in neo-plastic primary and secondary colors, in which Halley characteristically transforms the rectilinear modernist grid into a static image of a prison. On the surrounding walls, Halley has created a digital black and white montage of paintings from twenty-four Latin American abstract masters, transforming these works into an overall web of faceted vectors.

La selección por nuestro stand mezcla jóvenes artistas locales con artistas más consagrados para poder introducirse en el mercado del coleccionismo brasileño. Dada la idiosincrasia del país y nuestra experiencia en los últimos años, creemos importante la presencia de firmas reconocidas. Así, llevaremos pinturas de Peter Halley, fotografías de gelatina de plata de Robert Mapplethorpe y C-prints de Massimo Vitali. 
Asimismo, los acrílicos de Yago Hortals, las fotografías de Anna Malagrida a quien ya presentamos en el pasado, y los collages de Gino Rubert estarán presentes en Art Río.
