Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life
Tate Modern

20 April – 3 September 2023
www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/hilma-af-klint-piet-mondrian

Prepare to be transported into a world of wonder and mysticism as the Tate Modern unveils its highly anticipated exhibition, “Forms of Life,” featuring two legendary artists of the twentieth century: Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian. With approximately 250 works, including paintings, drawings, and archival materials, this exhibition promises to be a feast for the senses, offering the largest presentation of af Klint’s work in the UK to date and the first major UK exhibition in over 25 years to highlight Mondrian’s early works.

Curated by Frances Morris, Director of Tate Modern, at the heart of this exhibition lies an exploration of how both artists sought to understand spirituality and mysticism through their art, delving into esoteric movements such as theosophy and anthroposophy. Visitors will be able to witness how these two artistic titans developed their own visual languages, creating a unique dialogue between signs, colours, and shapes that help make sense of the mysteries of life on earth.

Vik Muniz: FOTOCUBISMO
Ben Brown Fine Arts

20 April – 26 May 2023

Hurry over to Brook’s Mews, Mayfair to see ‘FOTOCUBISMO’ by Vik Muniz, hung across Ben Brown Fine Arts and Claridge’s ArtSpace. Inspired by the works of Cubist masters Pablo Picasso, Georges Braques, and Juan Gris the exhibition sees works from Muniz’s ‘Surfaces’ series, displayed in the UK for the first time. As ever, Muniz explores perception, reality, and representation by layering painting and collaged components to creates a hybrid technique that invites viewers to question what’s beyond the surface and discover the underlying interventions.

For Muniz, his work exists in “a place between the world of things and the world of ideas that enjoys its own constant energy and is in permanent and vibrant evolution.” So why not journey into Muniz’s world and discover the limitless possibilities and questions that arise from constructing a photographic image.
