Doing Albion Jeune

Albion Jeune a new contemporary art gallery opened this month founded by the new art rockstar to watch in London town, Lucca Hue-Williams. Based in Fitzrovia, the inaugural exhibition features works from contemporary artist, Esben Weile Kjær. Lucky art world insiders were treated to an immersive experience at 180 Strand.

Esben’s work delves into the intriguing realm of identity politics in the age of ever-evolving new media. Through captivating performances, innovative installations, and mesmerising stained-glass creations, he explores how his generation constructs their sense of self in a world dominated by popular culture and technology.

The gallery presents a curated artist-led programme from its roster of emerging internationally recognised artists, many of whom have significant institutional exhibition history. With a commitment to the continued survival of a truly ‘global art world,’ the gallery will be established as a platform for cultural exchange.

Albion Jeune will operate an international roaming presentation through peer partnerships. The gallery will present a wide range of exhibitions, a public programme, and publications. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

Viewing Georg Baselitz at Serpentine

A nine-metre-high jumble of legs in high heels will tower over visitors to Hyde Park next week as taster of what’s to come inside Georg Baselitz’s intriguing solo show at Serpentine South. Inside, the German artist’s crude, larger than life evocations of figures and body parts will roam through the gallery, their imperfect forms exposing the frailty of the human body.

The sculptures – each crafted from a single tree trunk with the help of power saws, chisels and axes between 2011 and 2015 – were originally intended as maquettes for bronze works and not for public viewing. Shown here alongside related drawings and sketches, they will give a compelling insight into the raw physicality of Baselitz’s process and his free-flowing movement between 2D and 3D work. Tributes from the likes of Erwin Wurm, Tracy Emin and Rashid Johnson in the accompanying catalogue will reveal the enduring influence of this titan of contemporary art.
