For this edition, We will be unveiling only new works of our represented artists; Bernhard Buhmann, André Butzer, Anahita Razmi, Amba Sayal-Bennett, Sara Rahbar and Michael Sailstorfer. In addition to this presentation, a part of the booth will focus on a larger body of work by Philip Mueller consisting of his new portraits which although are classically painted, reveal complex narratives along with his signature interventions of random painterly intuition.

GIL HEITOR CORTESÃO – “UMBRA”  Opens at Carbon 12  19 March – 5 May, 2018 Alserkal Avenue, Dubai

Umbra (19 March to 05 May 2018) is Portuguese painter Cortesão’s fourth solo show with Carbon 12. Shadows, as the Latin title suggests, are complex denizens of these works, both discursively and materially. In Cortesão’s palette, shadow is a projection, beamed from some spectral world. A grey eeriness wafts through the forsaken interiors of the Passage series, as well as the cell-like confines of the Room works. Color, an occasional Cortesão obsession, has succumbed to a shadowy chill.

Tomorrow is the last day to catch Amba Sayal-Bennett’s “Crazy Talk” at Domino Houses Billboard, Bounds Green Road, N22 8YB. “Crazy Talk” 2 - 28 February 2018

“Amba Sayal-Bennett’s grid of nine small, framed drawings combine geometry and the diagrammatic to compose discrete machine-like forms that have no counterpart in reality. Each of the nine drawings seems connected to the others in the grid, but in no obvious way. Is it possible to draw something that escapes known perceptual categories, including science fiction and the fantastic, or, at least, expands upon them until the point that the reference is lost?”
