Oliver Marsden was born in the UK in 1973. His artistic practice revolves around perception, the possibilities of movement, and the fluidity of color, sound, and order. Marsden explores the behavior and properties of paint, creating pulsations and echoes of color. Marsden has a formal grounding in geometry that often corresponds to the forms of periodic oscillations, such as the vibrations of simple sounds, like that which a tuning fork can produce.

Oliver Marsden has participated in over 60 group exhibitions in places such as Vigo Gallery, Dubai, UAE (201/); Maddox Gallery London (2017), Kresge Art Museum, Michigan, USA (2010), and held solo exhibitions at venues like Vigo/Liaigre Gallery, London, UK (2020); Galería Hilario Galguera, Mexico City, Mexico (2015), and Koumi Machi Kougen Museum, Koumi, Japan (2009), among others. He has received prestigious awards and recognitions, including the Prince’s Trust Award in England in 2000 and The Arthur Anderson Prize for Best Young Artist, Scotland in 1995. His work is part of important collections around the world, such as the Jumex Foundation, Mexico, and the Horiuchi Collection, Japan, among others.

About the Exhibition ‘All We Have Is Now’ by Oliver Marsden

September 12th – November 8th, 2024

Galería Hilario Galguera Madrid is pleased to present the exhibition All We Have is Now, by British artist Oliver Marsden. Through his most emblematic series, the exhibition explores different concepts of synergy between the human condition, technology, and nature from our perceptual capacity. Memory, energy, sound, and spirituality are optimized in minimalist paintings that reflect a universal contemplative understanding.

Expanding the cross-border reach of Marsden’s pictorial language, the exhibition will be presented simultaneously at our Mexico City location, and it will also open in September.

A hypnotic sensation permeates the gallery space. Despite the silence and stillness, circular paintings from different series convey a sense of movement, perhaps evoking their origin: an analysis of the impact of sound on water and the materiality of sound waves led to the creation of the Harmonics series, which later evolved into the OM Halo and Stella series. Even during their creation, the artist remains almost motionless while the paintings rotate on their own to absorb oil or acrylic. The Spiral Void series explores the emptiness that has been studied throughout history in philosophy and art. The circles in the series seem to turn into mirrors, reflecting the doubts and thoughts of each individual.

These series create a phenomenon the artist calls a perceptual leap, where the sense of depth is lost, and the viewer feels as if they are inside the painting, in a meditative field. The reduction of the painting to seemingly simple elements and forms is an attempt by the artist to investigate a universal truth when halos and aureoles of saints and Buddhas can be interpreted, but also the displacement of energy in the form of light and sound.

The Grid series examines reality through sacred geometry with meticulously painted grids in acrylic. Inspired by the geometric structures found in nature and the cosmos, these works aim to reveal the order and harmony hidden in the apparent chaos of the contemporary world.

Similarly, the Fade series offers an escape from the disorder and oversaturation of today’s urbanity. Its faded colors are ghosts of the way the artist stores memories in his mind. Memories of family moments, the movement and feeling of air, sunsets, sunrises, or fog, the artist captures specific moments with gradient tones, seeking to replicate the sensation of each experience, turning a unique experience into universal feelings.

All We Have is Now invites us to lose ourselves for a moment in the present, capturing our gaze and captivating us with a language that transcends cultural differences to offer an introspective space for reflection and peace. Marsden’s work comes as a much-needed breath before our return to everyday life.

The exhibition will open at Galería Hilario Galguera Madrid on September 12th and remain open to the public until November 8th, 2024.

Moses Zibor was born in 1978 in Lagos and raised in the Ajegunle ghetto. His early life was filled with dreams of football stardom, but it was his innate talent for drawing that set him on a different path. Supported by his uncle, Zibor pursued an education in the arts at Yaba College of Technology, graduating in 2008. After years of refining his craft in Nigeria, he moved to Kazakhstan, where he continued to explore various creative avenues while teaching and working in other artistic roles.

In 2020, inspired by the global impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, Zibor returned to painting with renewed vigor, channeling his dreams and inner thoughts into a unique form of surrealism. His work, deeply influenced by his experiences in Nigeria and Kazakhstan, reflects a fusion of African spirituality and surrealistic elements.

Moses Zibor’s Exhibition at OOA Gallery

Barcelona– Spain – OOA Gallery is proud to present the solo exhibition “African Surrealism” by Nigerian-born artist Moses Zibor, running from September 12 to October 20, 2024. This exhibition marks a significant moment in Zibor’s artistic journey, showcasing his evolution from the slum of Lagos, Nigeria, to the international art stage.

Moses Zibor’s exhibition “African Surrealism” invites art lovers and collectors to explore the vibrant and imaginative world of an artist who has journeyed far but has always remained true to his roots.

Zibor’s dedication to his craft has garnered international recognition, with his works being featured at prestigious events such as VOLTA New York in 2023. His current exhibition at OOA Gallery offers a deep dive into his recent creations, including his self-portrait “Broken Egg, Rooster, and Goldfish” (2022), which symbolizes his rebirth as an artist, and the striking “A Woman and Her Lamp,” which represents guidance and creation.

The exhibition also features paintings that celebrate solidarity, transformation, and the artist’s perseverance in the face of adversity. Zibor’s journey from Lagos to Almaty is a testament to the power of creativity and the resilience of the human spirit.

In conjunction with the exhibition, OOA Gallery is hosting a contest where participants can win an original artwork by Moses Zibor. The contest will run from September 12 to October 20, with the winner announced on the final day of the exhibition.

Opening: Saturday September 14 at 7:30 with cava

Pasadena, California. American Legacy Fine Arts present “Jove Wang: Spirit of the American West”, a solo exhibition of landscapes and figures, on view from October 18 to November 16, 2024. The display showcases more than 20 new works by Jove Wang.

Gallery Director Elaine Adams comments about the exhibition: Jove Wang’s ‘Spirit of the American West’ is more than an exhibition; it is a bridge between two worlds, illustrating how the artist’s early life experiences on the Mongolian steppes of Jilin, China, has shaped his perception and artistic interpretation of his current life in the American West. His paintings invite viewers to appreciate the beauty and majesty of these landscapes while reflecting on the shared human experiences that connect diverse cultures and geographies.

Through this exhibition, Wang not only honors his past but also enriches our understanding of the intricate ties between land, culture, and identity.

About Jove Wang

Jove Wang was born in China. As a youth, at age seven he apprenticed with the master painter Gang Gu, subsequently
studying at Jilin School of Art for three years and graduating in 1982. In 1984 he was accepted into the most prestigious
art institute of China, Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now named the China Academy of Art) and graduated as an
honor student in 1988. He also received professional training from the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts.

Wang’s childhood in the vast, open steppes of Inner Mongolia instilled in him a deep appreciation for expansive landscapes and the rugged beauty of untamed nature. These formative years in the rolling plains, grazing livestock, and the tribal nomadic lifestyle, profoundly influenced his artistic vision. The simplicity and grandeur of the Inner Mongolian environment, along with their renowned horse culture, also known as “Mongolian Cowboys,” is mirrored in Wang’s dynamic compositions of life in the American West.

Jove Wang’s subjects evoke a timeless spirit of the American West, which is further accentuated by his sweeping brushwork and vivid palette. Through his art, Wang conveys not only the physical attributes of the landscape but also the spirit of adventure, resilience, and freedom that defines the American West.”

About the American Legacy Fine Arts

Founded in 2003 by Elaine Adams, wife of renowned artist Peter Adams, American Legacy Fine Arts (ALFA) emerged as a sanctuary for traditional art forms in painting and sculpture. ALFA is driven by a commitment to feature quality contemporary-traditional and historic American art, including California Art; and to uphold the credentials of gallery artists as significant additions to any fine art collection. The gallery has become a haven for artists and art enthusiasts who share a profound appreciation for exceptional art.

The driving force behind ALFA is Elaine Adams, recognized as one of the nation’s most visible and influential proponents behind the growing interest and appreciation in traditional and classical fine arts.

Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zahnradstrasse, Zurich

June 9 – July 28, 2023

American artist and photographer Paul Mpagi Sepuya is having two concurrent exhibitions with Galerie Peter Kilchmann in Zurich and Paris, in which he presents recent works, including from his series ‘Daylight Studio/Dark Room Studio’ (2021–ongoing). With this series, the artist freely reinterprets the late-19th- and early-20th-century practice of studio photography by infusing it with a contemporary comment on queer desire and Black subjectivity. In the context of Zurich Art Weekend, the gallery will host a conversation between the artist and curator Raphael Gygax on June 11. Also worth noting is an exhibition of new works by the Iranian Swiss-based photographer Shirana Shahbazi at the gallery’s second Zurich location on Rämistrasse.
