Fairy tales are grasping at a world that can never be. Maybe a painting is a fairy tale? It’s a reflection of our world, but with a spin on it that makes it forever unattainable. Like a bug preserved in crystal, you can’t get to it without breaking it all apart. What is reality? What is the dream?­­

Almine Rech hosted the artist's inaugural solo exhibition at Almine Rech Paris in November 2020. His second solo exhibition will take place at Almine Rech Brussels, Belgium in September 2022, as well as a solo presentation at Château de Boisgeloup, Gisors, France, in October 2022.

Gerasimos Floratos (b. 1986) lives and works in New York City. Floratos grew up enmeshed in the overwhelming sensorial experience that is Times Square, the pounding commercial and touristic heart of the city, a place the artist refers to as “the center of the center”. To this day, his studio is stationed there, where he continues to work and live.

Jorge Galindo was born in 1965 in Madrid, Spain. Trained in the workshops of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, his artistic oeuvre spans more than three decades. Describing his own work as “dirty pop,” his monumental paintings are gestural and expressionist. Over the past thirty years, Jorge Galindo has made paintings which often synthesize elements of collage. Using a range of materials, his lush and colorful surfaces are executed in an energetic, sometimes chaotic style. 

Please join Almine Rech at DnA SHENZHEN 2021, presenting a solo project of Vivian Springford.
The American abstract painter Vivian Springford (1913-2003) provides a fascinating case study of a mid-century American woman artist. With an emphasis on gesture, dripping, and splattering, Springford's works of the 1950s bore a clear connection to Abstract Expressionism. The primary influence of her early work came from East Asian arts and letters, particularly Chinese calligraphy, Taoism and Confucianism.
We look forward to welcoming you at Booth C17.

A prominent member of the Dansaekhwa (“Monochrome Painting”) movement, Ha Chong-Hyun began his practice in the aftermath of the Korean War, using materials he found on the street, such as barbed wire and burlap sacks left over from American food aid.

Jonathan Gardner is a New-York based artist known for his depictions of stylized figures in their leisurely worlds. Gardner’s richly colored paintings are filled with nonchalant figures against flattened space, adding to the surreal, uncanny air of the works. Drawing from the aesthetics of modern art, his painting sets up an absence of hierarchy between the motifs, combining several realities: landscape, portrait and still life.

Ryoji Ikeda’s data-verse 3 (2021) premiered as a standalone artwork as part of Art Basel's Unlimited sector, the unique platform for large-scale projects that transcend the limitations of a traditional art-fair stand. Presented by Almine Rech and commissioned by Audemars Piguet Contemporary, the third and final variation of the artist’s most complex project to date marks the conclusive chapter in his data-driven audio-visual research into nature that first began in the early 2000s.

Ryoji Ikeda is an electronic composer and visual artist who explores sound and light by means of mathematical precision and aesthetics. By experimenting with frequencies and scales difficult for the human ear and mind alone to comprehend, Ikeda renders the imperceptible through numerical systems and computer aesthetics. His long-term projects have taken a multiplicity of forms, from immersive live performances and audio-visual installations to books and CDs and have evolved over the years to encompass his data-driven research.

Almine Rech is pleased to present Prado, Red, 1968, by American artist James Turrell. The historical 'Projection Piece' was on view on the occasion of Art Basel Unlimited.

The exhibition of Prado, Red presents the exciting opportunity to experience a historic ‘Projection Piece’ by James Turrell. In 1966, Turrell began creating his ‘Projection Pieces’ at his first studio and exhibition venue, the former ‘Mendota Hotel’ in Ocean Park, California. Using the ground floor commercial space, he blocked out all the windows in order to project artificial light in the corners of the room (‘Cross Corner Projections’) or onto individual walls (‘Single Wall Projections’). Turrell showed these ‘Projection Pieces’ shortly thereafter in 1967 at the Pasadena Art Museum.These early systematic investigations of the interaction of artificial/natural light and interior/exterior spaces paved the way for the magnanimous ‘Skyspaces.’
