James Bartolacci - Honouring the queer nightlife of NYC
“The Taymour Grahne Projects’ Holland Park Gallery in London is showcasing the work of James Bartolacci with his new Life Without Night exhibition - from June 12 to July 14. Covid, so it seems, has rendered the club scene a relict from another lifetime. More than a frivolity, clubbing is and remains a space for queer people to genuinely feel safe and be themselves.”
Anh Duong - Reflections of you
“...Playing with the viewer’s gaze, her use of dramatised doe eyes hypnotises us, urging your to keep on looking and decipher her romances. Duong’s caricatures are reminiscent of her daily life and should be read like a visual journal. She intentionally exposes the fragility, beauty, and raw tenderness of her subjects. Each canvas representing another accurate depiction of individuals in non-idealised positions.”
