In much of his work, Folkert de Jong (b. 1972) creates a universe populated by humorously macabre life-size human figures. In the new installation he has created for the GEM, the images are modelled on the protagonists of the De Stijl art movement that developed around Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian.
Louise Alexander Gallery is pleased to announce that Dutch artist Folkert de Jong has joined the gallery’s roster of represented artists and will exhibit a solo presentation of his works at the gallery in Porto Cervo this July. Folkert de Jong is probably best known for his expressive sculptures and installations arising from a strong fascination for the psychological and bodily human condition.
Maison Chloé opens with inaugural exhibition, Femininities—Guy Bourdin. Bourdin created the greatest number of editorials featuring the house’s designs – Chloé was the ready to wear brand he photographed the most. Here Clark pits two opposing modes of femininity against one another, contrasting the controversial, high-octane photographs of France’s foremost fashion image-maker against the bohemian Chloé garments depicted in the shots.
Louise Alexander Gallery will present a group exhibition of works by represented artists between the 3 September until 4 October 2017. The late summer group show will feature artists Vladimir Dubossarsky, Enrique Martínez Celaya and Barry X Ball, each work connected by shared interest in the visual interpretation of fantasy and the elaborated truth.
Unnatural History will showcase works by internationally renowned artist, designer, photographer and video artist Arik Levy (Israeli, b. 1963), who has gained global recognition with his sculptures and collectable creations. The exhibition will include examples of his Rock series, an ever-growing sequence of sculptures shaped like minerals and composed of reflective surfaces, such as polished stainless steel.
Untouched unveils a compelling narrative regarding Guy Bourdin’s formative years. Painstakingly salvaged and dusted down, sorted and examined as the precious archaeological fragments that they are, these photographs illuminate the crucial first years of Bourdin’s image making. Shelly Verthime, curator of The Guy Bourdin Estate and Editor of Untouched recounts the process of discovery.
