Salon review – like getting to know fascinating guests at a fabulous party

The article reviews a salon-style exhibition curated by Matthew Higgs, director of New York's White Columns gallery, at an unnamed gallery space. The show features 43 paintings by a diverse group of artists including Denzil Forrester, Andrew Cranston, Kaye Donachie, Merlin James, Margot Bergman, Gillian Carnegie, Bill Lynch, and Adam Keay, arranged around mismatched chairs facing white windows painted on the walls. The reviewer describes moving through the space, engaging with individual works, and highlights the eclectic, unthemed curation that prioritizes personal taste and conversation over academic or political messaging.

These Ghosts. Clémentine Bruno  by Michela Ceruti

Clémentine Bruno’s artistic practice explores the tension between presence and absence, treating the canvas as a site of temporal layers rather than a flat surface for representation. Her work emphasizes the preparatory stages of painting—the laying of gesso and the construction of supports—allowing images to emerge reluctantly through processes of sanding, veiling, and partial erasure. Recent exhibitions, such as "Educational Complex" at Tonus and "Vision of Fading" at Mendes Wood DM, highlight her interest in how institutional structures and memory maps dictate what is retained and what is forgotten.

Artistic discs

Kolkata Ink Studio presented a group exhibition of graphic art at Gallery Charubasona, featuring 18 artists who each contributed two disc-shaped copperplates and matching prints. The works ranged from Manik Kumar Ghosh's clever double-disc brassiere to Partha Pratim Deb's absurd clownish figures, Laxma Goud's restrained goddess imagery, and Rm. Palaniappan's three-dimensional illusions. Other highlights included Siddhartha Ghosh's identity-less human figures, Sukla Poddar's environmental themes, and Swapnesh Vaigankar's archaeological inspirations. The exhibition was described as neat but lacking in challenge, with most works in monochrome and only faint touches of color.
