Coinciding with Frieze, London, Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of its new flagship space in Belgravia
Cadogan Gallery: A Group Exhibition 3 October 2024 - 8 February 2025 Cadogan Gallery, 7-9 Harriet StreetCoinciding with Frieze, London, Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of its new flagship space in Belgravia and its inaugural presentation, Cadogan Gallery: A Group Exhibition. Opening on October 3, 2024, it remains on view through February 8, 2025, presenting its largest group exhibition to date with new works by both established and emerging artists, illustrating the gallery’s commitment to contemporary abstraction.
Unified by the artist-centred ethos and distinctive aesthetic, the exhibition is curated by Freddie Burness, Managing Director of Cadogan Gallery, and includes twenty-one of the artists within it’s roster; Andreas Diaz Andersson (1989, Sweden), Elise Ansel (1961, USA), Kim Bartelt (1970s, Germany), Lorenzo Brinati (1979, Italy), Lawrence Calver (1992, UK), Gabriele Cappelli (1972, Italy), Edoardo Dionea Cicconi (1985, Italy), Ramón Enrich (1968, Spain), Richard Hearns (1980, Lebanon/Dublin), Terrell James (1955, USA), Mimi Jung (1981, Korea), Tycjan Knut (1985, Poland), Laurence Leenaert (b.1989, Kortrijk, Belgium), Sam Lock (1973, UK), Nuria Maria (1990, Netherlands), Theo Pinto (1990, Brazil), Emanuel Seitz (1974, Germany), Deborah Tarr (1966, UK), Leonardo Anker Vandal (1988, Denmark), Maximilian Verhas (1960, Germany) and Richard Zinon (1985, UK).
Celebrating the rich materiality of contemporary abstraction, Cadogan Gallery: A Group Exhibition, seamlessly intertwines a captivating array of new works showcasing non-representational forms, material exploration, conceptual depth, and sustainable practices. From paintings using minimalist mark-making, to sculpture in marble and glass, as well as work exploring abstract and surreal landscapes, the exhibition is grounded in abstract expressionism, redefined by modern interpretations.
Centred upon a dialogue with artists who have grown with the gallery over the past decade alongside emerging and more established names, works on show include Deborah Tarr’s nuanced, contemplative paintings that explore internal and external landscapes, hovering on the boundary of figuration and abstraction to create a sense of completeness and tranquillity. Similar in theme is Texan artist Terrell James, whose works are a celebration of colour, exploring organic forms within the language of abstract expressionism. These artists sit alongside artworks by British artist Sam Lock known for his minimalist gestural works using unconventional materials to express the language of mark-making on canvas, inspired by the postmodernist theories of Beckett and Pinter.
Among the new works, Birches by Deborah Tarr, shows familiar experimentation with organic elements and introduces playful, tilted picture planes. The combination of the dynamic interplay of shapes and hues, evoke a sense of movement and rhythm with the use of broad, sweeping brushstrokes and blended intricate details that seem to flow and shift, capturing the essence of birch trees. Positioned alongside the refractions of light from bronze works such as Rolling Contrapost by Maximillian Verhas produce dazzling effects and play with expressions that remind us that abstract art is trying to achieve something beyond literal presentation.
Cadogan Gallery will be partnering with Thai restaurant Kiln, Soho for the opening evening.
END - Notes to Editors
About Andreas Diaz Andersson Andreas Diaz Andersson (b.1989, Skanör-Falsterbo, Sweden) is a Swedish-Mexican artist known for his distinctly meticulous minimalist abstractions. Andersson’s work is defined by a harmonious use of shapes and lines achieved using textiles and different paint mediums such as acrylic, plastic colour and aerosol paint on cotton canvas. Alongside his brother’s design studio ATRA, Andersson has exhibited his works at fairs across the US including Design Miami. Diaz Andersson has been represented by Cadogan since 2021 and had his first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in Spring 2022.
About Elise Ansel Elise Ansel (b.1961, New York City, USA) studied at Brown University before gaining her MFA in Visual Art at the Southern Methodist University. Using energetic gestural abstraction, Ansel translates Old Master paintings into a contemporary visual language. She mines art historical imagery for colour and form, setting aside the narrative and pictorial elements of these paintings and thus creating room for new interpretations. Her works have been exhibited in group shows and solo exhibitions across the United States and the UK and are held in public and private collections worldwide. Ansel has been represented by Cadogan since 2012 and had her first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in 2013.
About Kim Bartelt Kim Bartelt (b.1970s, Berlin, Germany) started collecting discarded sheets of paper from set designs whilst painting sets for commercial campaigns and gradually integrated them into her art practice. She created minimal collages that, through their delicate translucence, seemed to transcend their materiality. Her works have been shown at the Berliner Liste Art Fair with Galerie LackeFarben and have been exhibited in group and solo shows in Chicago, Berlin, Paris, and London. Bartelt has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2020 and had her first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in 2022.
About Lorenzo Brinati Lorenzo Brinati (b.1979, Pistoia, Italy) moved to Florence at a young age and grew up surrounded by the artisan workshops of the Oltrano district, experiencing the remnants of the city’s Renaissance history. Brinati's practice perceives the depth of Renaissance Florentine craftsmanship, expanding the vision towards eastern cultures and transforming the Old Masters' skills into a modern, yet timeless language. Brinati has been represented by Cadogan since 2021, following his stay at the artist’s residency Numeroventi and the success of his joint exhibition at Cadogan, ‘Under a Dome’, curated by Martino di Napoli Rampolla.
About Lawrence Calver Lawrence Calver’s (b.1992, Suffolk, UK) Primarily known for his textile works, Lawrence Calver’s work incorporates a variety of fabrics, from cotton silk and linen to suede and wool. Working within the idiom of modernist painting, he takes the material support – the canvas or the plane – and sews, bleaches, stretches or stains the fabric to create works that aim to unify abstraction and representation. Calver studied at BA level in creative direction of fashion at London College of Fashion and he has been exhibited by Cadogan since 2023.
About Gabriele Cappelli Gabriele Cappelli (b.1972, Forli, Italy) discovered art at a young age from frequent trips to Rome to visit his grandfather, an architect and designer, an experience that is still a central part of his practice as an artist. Cappelli moved to London in 1997 and it was here that he decided to pursue his work as an artist, inspired by the YBA movement. His work is collected widely and is held in private collections in the UK, Europe and the US. Cappelli has been represented by Cadogan since 2010 and had his first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in 2013.
About Edoardo Dionea Cicconi Edoardo Dionea Cicconi (b.1985, Rome, Italy) is an Italian contemporary artist working with installations, sculptures, sound and other media between Milan and Palermo, Italy. Addressing universal themes often in an interactive way, he seeks a synthesis between art & science, investigating the concept and perception of “time”. His latest solo-shows were set both in Italian museums and institutions and involved large-scale outdoor installations. Cicconi has been represented by Cadogan since 2022 and had his first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in 2022.
About Ramón Enrich Ramón Enrich (b.1968, Igualada, Spain) is a Catalan artist who harnesses his passion for architecture in his paintings with the use of geometric and colourful landscapes. Inspired by rationalist and African architecture, Enrich creates landscapes of geometric shapes with a non-human reference point placing buildings at the heart of the canvases. A great admirer of Donald Judd, he moved to Marfa, Texas in 1988 where Judd lived and worked, spending time at the Judd Foundation and the Chinati Foundation. His works are held in public and private collections worldwide, most notably the private collections of David Hockney, Norman Foster and Donald Judd. Enrich has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2023 and had his first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2023.
About Richard Hearns Richard Hearns (b.1980, Beirut, Lebanon and raised in Dublin) paints in the wild landscape of The Burren Country National Park in County Clare, Ireland. Each painting is an extension of his physical surroundings - earth, sea and sky - materialising the artist’s experiences and memories of colour and natural phenomena. Hearns is deeply aware of the unique cultural backgrounds of both aspects of his heritage. Having studied in Dublin at The Institute of Art, Design and Technology and The National College of Art and Design, Richard's talent for drawing and line work led to a keen interest in observational painting. Hearns has had solo shows in Dublin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Los Angeles and New York, he has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2017 and had his first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2021.
About Terrell James Terrell James (b.1955, Houston, USA) works from her studio in her hometown of Houston, Texas, she produces both intimate canvases and vigorous mural-scale works in oil. Most striking about James’s works, both on canvas and on paper, are her explorations of colour and her invention of original hues to reflect her subjects. James has been included in over two hundred group shows and has completed over fifty solo exhibitions across the world. Her work is included in many museum collections, including: The Boston Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. James has been represented by Cadogan in London since 2015 and had her first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2016.
About Mimi Jung Mimi Jung (b.1981 Seoul, Korea) lives and works in Montana after receiving a BFA from Cooper Union and attending HGK Basel and Städelschule for postgraduate studies. Jung redefines the traditional practice of weaving, experimenting with intricate new techniques while exploring her own resonant personal experiences. Most recently, she was the resident artist at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. She has mounted exhibitions throughout the United States, including Pentimenti Gallery, Philadelphia, PA; Nina Johnson, Miami, FL; and Helen J Gallery, Los Angeles, LA. Jung has been shown by Cadogan Gallery since 2023 and had her first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2022.
About Tycjan Knut Tycjan Knut (b.1985, Warsaw, Poland) now lives and works in London after receiving his PhD in Fine Art and Painting from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. Knut’s work takes inspiration from the geometric abstract art of the twentieth century with a deep academic interest in unknown abstract ‘masters’. His work has been exhibited across Europe and is held in private collections across the world. Cadogan has represented Tycjan Knut since 2019. Knut has been represented by Cadogan since 2019 and had his first solo exhibition in London with the gallery in 2021.
About Laurence Leenaert Laurence Leenaert (b.1989, Kortrijk, Belgium) creates work that is a distillation of her myriad of skills. Designed, painted and woven entirely by her hand, the works take inspiration from local Moroccan crafting techniques and natural materials. She creates three-dimensional works with acrylic paint, wool yarn and cotton patches on rough burlap canvas, and embroidery and weaving are incorporated into her painting practice to create expressive compositions. Her designs quickly became sought after in high-end outlets such as The Conran Shop and the Picasso Museum. Leenaert has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2020 and had her first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2021. About Sam Lock Sam Lock (b.1973, London, UK) uses blowtorches and sanders as well as the brush, in each work and is the result of a continuous cycle of making. The physicality of Lock’s process is evident throughout his paintings and his expansive gestures and sweeping movements on a monumental scale as well as his smaller works reveal layers of past images and tones that drop in and out of themselves. He has exhibited regularly with Cadogan since 2015 in both our London and Hampshire spaces and has shown at various galleries and fairs in Europe and Asia. Lock has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2014 and had his first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2015. About Nuria Maria Nuria Maria (b.1990, Limburg, Netherlands) and her paintings are characterised by atmospheric abstractions, capturing the essence of weather and light through colour and form. Maria grew up in an artist family and later studied at the art academy in Maastricht. Her work transitioned from figurative scenes to abstract expressions, often inspired by natural elements and personal experiences. Maria’s work has been exhibited in cities including Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, and The Hague. Maria has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2024 and had her first solo exhibition in Milan with the gallery in 2024.
About Theo Pinto Theo Pinto (b.1990 Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a Brazilian Artist, Experiential Designer, and Art Director based in Brooklyn, New York. Having completed his B.F.A in Architecture at Maryland Institute College of Art in 2013, Pinto's multidisciplinary experience has more recently merged into contemporary art. Using predominantly oil paints, Pinto distils his subject down into its pure essence of light, creating abstract works that resonate with the soul. Pinto views his art as an extension of his spiritual practice, as a means of connecting with the divine and fostering a sense of tranquillity and wholeness. Pinto has been represented by Cadogan since 2023 and had his first exhibition in Milan with the gallery in 2023.
About Emanuel Seitz Emanuel Seitz (b.1974, Germany) reduces painting to its simplest vocabulary, his works are a celebration of paint and spatiality. Each colour is created from a pure pigment and is added to the canvas in corresponding blocks. He studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts between 1996 and 2002. He has since lived and worked in Germany, exhibiting regularly throughout Europe. He is widely collected with works represented in major collections including the Lenbachhaus and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. Seitz has been working with Cadogan since 2023 and had his solo first exhibition in Milan with the gallery in 2023.
About Deborah Tarr Deborah Tarr’s (b.1966, Manchester, UK) paintings often reference real places, but they are never of ‘somewhere’. Her works hover between abstraction and representation, culminating in a distillation of thoughts, memories and emotion. They invite us to pause, to breathe, as windows in time and in space. Evoking the British coastline and countryside, each of her paintings are carefully considered and beautifully restrained. Tarr’s critically acclaimed works have been featured in group and solo exhibitions throughout Britain and the United States. Cadogan has represented Deborah since 2002, presenting her first solo exhibition in London in 2004.
About Leonardo Anker Vandal Leonardo Anker Vandal (b.1988, Denmark) is a multidisciplinary artist working across mediums, such as painting, sculpture, installation and writing, currently based in Brescia, Italy. Nostalgia and melancholy permeate the experience of his work. The artist transforms his experiences of personal trauma in his early life into a highly personal, visual, poetic and enigmatic language using every medium he finds relevant within his reach. Vandal has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2021 and had his first exhibition in Milan with the gallery in 2023. About Maximilian Verhas Maximillian Verhas (b. 1960, Essen, Germany) explores the traditional definition of sculpture, but overturns it by creating a moving multifaceted work whose identity changes with its position. He studied Painting and Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg from 1981 until 1986 before taking up Sculpture at the University of the Arts in Berlin from 1986 until 1990. Verhas has been shown by Cadogan Gallery since 2019.
About Richard Zinon Richard Zinon (b. 1985, Manchester, UK) studied at 'The Angel Academy of Art' before continuing his education at the renowned 'Accademia di Belle Arti' in Florence. He has worked in numerous art forms including print-making and Japanese ceramics. His use of broad, gestural brush strokes draw attention to the action of painting itself, reminiscent of Japanese calligraphy, succinctly transmitting the pure action and energy of Zinon’s artistic process and the joy found in these acts of creation. He has been represented by Cadogan Gallery since 2022 and had his first exhibition in London with the gallery in 2022.
