Barakat Gallery New London Location

Dear Friends, Clients, and Patrons,

After almost 20 years, earlier this month we moved out of our Gallery on 58 Brook Street to make way for the re-development of the entire block.

We have not gone much far away though, and we relocated in a much larger space down the road in 31 Brook St, W1K 4HF, Mayfair, London.

In the last few months we have been considerably busy organising this move, and I am sure that the collectors and art lovers who are reading this email will understand the challenges and the excitement of organising a new space.

For my entire life I have always treasured antiquities for their ability to tell stories and in the last few months during the move our curators and staff have treasured the opportunity to caress every single artefact readying it for the move. It has been an incredibly inspiring experience as we have been able to think about every artefact anew, and we are looking forward to share our enthusiasm with you.

Personally, I hope to be able to welcome many of you personally in the new location.

Wishing each and everyone of you to be in the best of health,
Fayez Barakat
President

KARINE TAILLANDIER GALERIE MAKOWSKI PARISKarine TAILLANDIER
Vernissage de l'exposition à la Galerie Makowski Paris
le samedi 15 octobre à partir de 16 h
7 rue de Chaumont 75019 PARIS
Entrée libre.

La Galerie Makowski Paris et Karine TAILLANDIER sont heureux de vous convier au vernissage de l'exposition de Karine TAILLANDIER.

Karine a 50 ans, mi-Parisienne, mi-provinciale.
Journaliste puis créatrice d’une agence de communication à 28 ans, elle accompagne aujourd’hui des entreprises dans la création d’activités, le développement de projets. Pas de formation artistique, même si elle a depuis des années la passion de la photographie. Parmi ses activités, l’accompagnement d’un label artistique - galerie d’art parisienne, B’ZZ, dédiée à l’art africain contemporain.

Elle a commencé à dessiner en 2016. Après un « léger » incident de parcours ;). Une jolie maladie qui «lui a offert ça, et c ‘est déjà pas mal». Comme un robinet qui se serait ouvert. Il coule à flots aujourd’hui et semble intarissable. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’à ce moment-là, les mots, dont elle vient et qui sont en grande partie son métier, lui ont semblé inadaptés à ce qu’elle a eu besoin de transmettre de son vécu, de ses sentiments. Trop complexes. Trop lourds pour ceux qui les recevraient.

Alors elle s’est mise à raconter sa vision du monde en images.

Ce sont des histoires courtes, qui lui viennent de ses rencontres, de ce qu’elle voit, de ce qu’elle vit, de ce qu’elle ressent du monde et des gens. Ce sont « ses aventures ».

Elle travaille sur ordinateur, avec son index qui trace directement sur le pad. Ce sont des dessins où les personnages sont souvent d’un seul trait. Jaillis de son imaginaire malgré elle, finalement. Elle n’a jamais pris aucun cours, elle apprend donc en dessinant. Et elle adore ça.

Parfois un peu «manga», noir et blanc ou de multiples couleurs, on dit de son travail qu’il est abstrait figuratif et souvent plein de poésie autant que de dureté. Comme de jolis paradoxes.

ALLISON ZUCKERMAN

"A Taste of Mille-Feuilles"
21.10.22 - 12.11.22
Opening October 20th 2022 from 5 to 8 pm
2, Avenue Matignon 75008 PARIS FRANCE

Zuckerman Strouk1m
Artist, Allison Zuckermann in her studio, with artworks from "A Taste of Mille-Feuilles" show

Allison Zuckerman's large scale canvases take a selection of female- orientated images from art history and, through the application of oil and acrylic paint, crystal rhinestones, and embedded archival CMYK ink, fuse them together in collage. Her work juxtaposes colourful pop imagery with a historical aesthetic. Through this marriage of epochs Zuckerman seeks to reclaim female figures from a male-dominated art historical canon, and does so with palpable excitement, humour and love.

Allison Zuckerman (b. 1990 Harrisburg, PA) lives and works in New York, NY.

La Galerie Jean François Cazeau présente Nicolas LefeuvreNicolas Lefeuvre
face aux Maîtres Modernes : Picasso, Matisse, Masson.

A l'occasion de la huitième édition d'Un Dimanche à la galerie oragnisée par le Comité des Professionel des Galeries d'Art depuis 2015, la Galerie Jean-François Cazeau a le plaisir de vous présenter sa nouvelle exposition qui a lieu du 1 au 19 octobre 2022, dans son espace dans le Marais. Cette journée d'ouverture commune des galeries d'art, invite le public dans un ambiance conviviale à découvrir les expositions phares de la rentrée.

L'exposition a pour but de rapprocher la production contemporaine de Nicolas Lefeuvre des Maîtres Modernes. Un discours commun empreint d'une audace, d'une recherche de libération du geste exprimé dans la fonction expressive et symbolique de la couleur, du rythme des formes. Geste comme acte réflexif à l'origine de l'œuvre, l'exposition invite à découvrir un dialogue sur l'abstraction et une expérience esthétique subtile.

The exhibition aims to bring the contemporary production of Nicolas Lefeuvre closer to the Modern Masters such as Masson and Matisse. A common discourse characterized by an audacity, a search for liberation of the gesture expressed in the symbolic function of the color, the rhythm of forms. The exhibition invites to discover a dialogue on abstraction and a subtle aesthetic experience.

 WHAT

JM Art Management present an exclusive online Artsy exhibition for Czech art and fashion photographer Lukas Dvorak. The show is replete with Dvorak's passionate, erotic, and intense photography.

Lukas Dvorak captured photos of the surrounding nature, considering it his best source of inspiration and contrast. Dvorak believes that women should be exposed in the same way as nature does, demonstrating how one might act without needing to put up a front. This thought serves as the return to the birth of Venus, a reference to the original woman.

Lukas combines his models' beautiful, feminine curves with an astonishing, raw, and untamed backgrounds by presenting them with breathtaking scenery. His scenes provide a sense of simplicity and purity through the interaction of nature and nudity.

The artist characterizes his style as straightforward. Primary, straight lines must control the three aspects of lighting, position, and facial expression. His works show little sign of the enormous effort frequently required to achieve the correct pose. As he noted in an interview, respecting the woman's beauty is the first thing to do to capture her in her most spectacular and finest form. The most crucial criterion for Dvorak is a natural appearance; he shows his images in a timeless, pure style, devoting himself to the female nude with poise and creativity. The models have a natural appearance and a strong sense of character.

LOS ANGELES
SOMEBODY
group exhibition 10 September - 1 October 2022

Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Somebody, a figurative group exhibition curated by Dasha Matsuura. Each of the eight artists featured explore abstraction and stylization of the human form, depicting the physical and emotional within their subjects.

Capturing the essence of ourselves, peers and family have been at the root of art practices throughout history. From hyper-realism to abstracted forms, the artists highlighted in Somebody illustrate familial histories and memories, current internal states and hopes for the future. Grappling with identity, the inherent value of the subject and their presence within the painted space, each work moves beyond the physical body to unpack the human experience.

Utilizing their work to paint the reality they see or would like to see, the artists affirm and underscore the importance of representation or reflection of one's self in art. Painting is used as a means to record the influential and everyday, to allow reverence that you are someone worth documenting and inhabiting space. That you are Somebody.

Participating Artists:
Liz Flores | Lanise Howard | Kathryn Kampovsky | Hanna Lee Joshi | Marianna Olague | Kevin Sabo | Emma Steinkraus | Shingo Yamazaki

Opening Night Reception:
Saturday, September 10th
4pm to 7pm
