For Art Paris 2023, the Almine Rech presentation will focus on five artists from different continents and generations: Alice Anderson, Carlos Jacanamijoy, Alexandre Lenoir, Thu Van Tran and Tursic & Mille. Those five artists with a practice ranging from painting to sculpture will create new works specifically for this presentation.

Joël Andrianomearisoa's work fits into the gallery's program in an original way in relation to other artists already represented, particularly those using textiles and weaving, all while enriching a chapter of the contemporary art landscape that our program seeks to address.

Born in the Ivory Coast in 1957, Watts lives and works in New York. 
He was persuaded to move to the city in the late '80s by Jean-Michel Basquiat, after meeting the artist at an opening in Paris. Lifelong friends, a thematic similarity is evident in their art, both of which highlight African culture, philosophy, and spirituality.

Almine Rech is pleased to share the recent Museum Acquisitions, including works by Joe Andoe, Farah Atassi, Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Marcus Jansen, José Lerma, Sam McKinniss, George Rouy, Li Qing, Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe, Arlene Shechet, Turi Simeti, Vivian Springford, Genesis Tramaine, Thu Van Tran, Chloe Wise and Zio Ziegler.

Roby Dwi Antono’s stylized portraits of wide-eyed children and mythological creatures recall the works of Pop surrealists Mark Ryden and Yoshitomo Nara.

On the occasion of Frieze Los Angeles, Almine Rech will present a group exhibition featuring paintings and sculptures by a selection of artists and estates, reflecting the gallery's artistic diversity.

For Art Genève 2023, Almine Rech Gallery is pleased to present a selection of works by 23 established and emerging artists of our program.

In keeping with the gallery’s aesthetic direction, the display will focus on paintings, sculptures and works on paper of high quality — from abstract and minimal to more figurative — with the main concern being the material plane and surface treatment.
We will be focusing on the cultural diversity of our program. Giving particular emphasis to multicultural artists – such as the estate of Cuban artist Agustín Cárdenas, Korean abstract masters such as Ha Chong-Hyun and Kim Tschang-Yeul, Flemish sculptor Johan Creten, French painter Alexandre Lenoir and the German painter Jenny Brosinski – we additionally wish to focus on how these artists from different backgrounds and generations express the sensibilities and strengths of their individual approaches to artistic creation. Moreover, we ask how they treat notions of memory and the rethinking of history.

On this occasion and for the first time at Art Genève, we will focus on the American artist Jameson Green, whose works are steeped in history and references to Goya and Picasso.

We will also show works by Karel Appel, Oliver Beer, Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Gordon Cheung, Paul de Flers, Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Daniel Gibson, Carlos Jacanamijoy, Minjung Kim, John McAllister, Ted Pim, Kenny Scharf, Thu Van Tran, Tursic & Mille, Francesco Vezzoli and Zio Ziegler.

Irish artist Ted Pim uses darkness as a tool to portray a moody and even macabre ambience throughout his works.

Please join Almine Rech at ART SG, presenting a group show by Gioele Amaro, Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Brian Calvin, Alejandro Cardenas, Gordon Cheung, Johan Creten, Xavier Daniels, Huang Yuxing, Marcus Jahmal, Aaron Johnson, Minjung Kim, Wes Lang, Alexandre Lenoir, José Lerma, Dr Esther Mahlangu, John McAllister, César Piette, Ted Pim, Rudolf Polanszky, Hiba Schahbaz, Jan-Ole Schiemann, Ryan Schneider, Turi Simeti, Vivian Springford, Mai Trung Thu, Thu Van Tran, Kim Tschang-Yeul, Tursic & Mille, Tom Wesselmann, and Zio Ziegler.

On the occasion of ART SG, Almine Rech is also thrilled to present Hu Zi's painting in NEW/NOW, a salon-style exhibition showcasing new artists with the aim of introducing new collectors to emerging talents at affordable price points. 

Hu Zi (b. 1981) graduated with an MFA from the Department of Comprehensive Painting at China Academy of Art in 2007. She also completed a residency at the Cité internationale des arts Paris during an exchange at École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2006). She works most often in gouache, but also in oil paint, always with translucency. In her long-term practice of portraiture, she collates individual experiences into the construction of a self-image by fabricating the very unique touch of bodily boundaries. The subjects addressed include rock gods, literary giants, great artists, and those who have or had an impact on her. When looking at today’s art-historical prospects, she has found the place where she belongs—returning to easel art, especially on canvas in the traditional genre of portrait. Seeing it as the best perceptual field for reconstructing the flesh, she completes it with the notion that the body is alienated in the age of consumerism.
