He presents us with a suite of urban scenes of New York and, in thematic contrast, a series of paintings of a solitary model posing in Red Rock Canyon in the Nevada desert, near to Las Vegas.

JIHI
Present Perfect Progressive 26 Aug - 26 Sep 2021 South Korean artist JIHI is a creature of digital culture, intimately familiar with its tropes and abbreviations. She paints clusters and sequences of symbols and pictograms in flat, bright colour. Her compositions are assertively decorative, eschewing any spatial depth. Occasional letterforms spell out banal slogans, echoing the simple concepts of online attention-seeking. Pontone Gallery is pleased to showcase this compelling series of paintings in our London gallery. Read more -
Timothy Spall
Out of the Storm 18 Jun - 25 Jul 2021 To many of us, especially in the UK, Timothy Spall needs no introduction. He is an actor well-known and famous enough to be a household name.

He graduated in 2015 with a master's degree in fine art and printmaking. Relatively new to the art world, his paintings display a vivid use of colour and exuberant execution. He paints the figure. His loosely-indicated, schematic images are integrated into a highly worked and abstracted paint surface, scattered with incidental markings and subtle gestures. Read more -
Chris Rivers
The Mortal in the Material 9 Jul - 9 Aug 2020 Chris Rivers is a painter of sumptuously-coloured, turbulent skyscapes. The expressively- handled paint describes seething clouds, mists and vapours. Cyclones of elemental matter billow through an indeterminate void. On closer inspection however, tiny figures can be seen caught up in the maelstrom. Our perception of the paintings oscillates between the sublime vastness of nature and small-scale incidents of human jeopardy and disaster. This is in an old-master tradition of embedding memento mori, which are not at first apparent. Read more -
Masters of Paint
Augusta, Georgia 1 - 21 Jun 2020 Pontone Gallery presents a special exhibition in Augusta, Georgia. This is an exhibition of five painters, who explore and exploit process.

Lee Jungwoong
Brush and Blue Abstraction 12 Dec 2019 - 19 Jan 2020 Lee Jungwoong is a Korean artist of great experience, in demand worldwide and represented in many public and private collections. A master of technique, he brings a blend of cultural sensibilities to his work, in the first case, specifically referencing the western iteration of hyper-realism, and in the second, the ancient eastern art of the brush. His painting seems to mirror a contemporary Korean preoccupation with a kind of cultural accommodation, where a modern society is a synthesis of the past and the present and where cultural differences are reconciled. We might see his paintings as hybrids, examples of such a process. Read more -
Choi Soowhan
Complex Emptiness 10 Oct - 3 Nov 2019 In a virtuoso display of painstaking craftsmanship, Korean artist Choi Soowhan devises compelling three-dimensional images of plants, waterfalls, waves and landscape. These monochromatic pieces, with their dramatically-contrasting, ink-dark shadows and dazzling pinpoints of light, convey a brooding intensity. His evocations of the natural world express its complexity, abundance and variety. The artist invites us to consider growth, change and flux. Read more -
Do Sungwook
Supernatural 10 Oct - 3 Nov 2019 An experienced painter with an extensive curriculum vitae, this is Do Sungwook's first exhibition with Pontone Gallery.

Read more -

Insistently Real 6 Sep - 6 Oct 2019 Yigal Ozeri’s work articulates the attractions of the transient fragility of the human form. His painstaking practice translates it into something immanently ‘real’, preserving a record of that which passes too quickly. Read more -

Matteo Massagrande
A Grand Tour 9 Aug - 1 Sep 2019 Matteo Massagrande’s new paintings feature his characteristic use of subtly-manipulated perspective. His is a world of mysterious vistas and abandoned interiors, filled with light and atmosphere. There is a new emphasis on specific sites and landscapes, particularly Venice, New York and Tuscany. This exhibition has something of the flavour of a modern- day ‘Grand Tour’. Untypically, in a few works, figures are present. An urban crowd populates the meticulously-defined cityscapes of Venice and New York, distinctly ephemeral against the lucid solidity of the architecture. Read more -
Mari Kim
Immortal Beloved 12 Jul - 4 Aug 2019 South Korean artist Mari Kim returns to Pontone Gallery with a new series of her distinctive 'Eyedoll' works.
Her images derive from a rich mixture of Western and Eastern cultural references.

Christopher Thompson
Studies, Part II 7 Jun - 7 Jul 2019 Christopher Thompson continues his investigation into the intimate, discrete scenario in this new series of small paintings. These portraits are character studies, some of which quote art historical precedents, referencing artists such as Vermeer and Velázquez. Alone and self contained, the protagonists appear in a closed and contemplative state, selfabsorbed and caught at a moment of pause and possible reflection. Read more -
Emil Alzamora
Expanded Present 7 Jun - 7 Jul 2019 Emil Alzamora’s minimalist sculptures represent the human body in its purest form. His figures are often depicted as though captured in a state of suspended animation influenced by both internal and external forces. Anonymous yet identifiable, they symbolize a universal understanding of a connection with the human body in its various manifestations. Read more -
Malcolm Liepke
Dream of Me 10 May - 1 Jun 2019 Pontone Gallery is excited to present this much-anticipated exhibition of new paintings by acclaimed American artist, Malcolm Liepke. Above all, a painter of the body, he works with a cast of distinctively attractive models to make images of languorous and sensual appeal. His graphically accomplished and bravura handling of paint and colour express this world, making allusive reference to icons of popular culture, the pin-up and the shiny surfaces of the mediated image, which are often undisguised sources of inspiration for his compositions. Read more -
Alyssa Monks
Hybrid 10 May - 1 Jun 2019 New York based painter Alyssa Monks presents us with two types of image. One is of a modern-day dryad: a kind of hybrid, the naked female form overlaid with leaves and foliage, integrated into a vegetal world. The other is of the body fragmented and distorted by steam and water, glimpsed through a screen clouded by veils of vapour and mist. Her subjects are altered by their environment and exist in an elemental world of shifting perceptions. Read more -

Rado Kirov
The Mercury Effect 18 May - 17 Jun 2018 Rado Kirov's sculpture consists of wall-mounted reliefs and free-standing sculptures, all fabricated from stainless steel with highly polished surfaces. Some are geometric, some explicitly furniture-like, others are beads and droplets of formless matter; still more are glistening, reflective panels expressive of flowing landscapes. A new development are reliefs that reference the sensuous surfaces of the human body. The various pieces are subtly shaped by hand to yield complex, undulating forms from hard metal. Read more -
Dina Brodsky

Christopher Thompson
New Works 30 Sep - 23 Oct 2016 Christopher Thompson's technically accomplished paintings derive from an interest in the portrait and particularly what might be termed ‘the urban portrait’. Solitary figures, predominantly male, are often situated in sparsely rendered urban spaces. Their form is dramatically revealed by artificial light; the resultant ‘chiaroscuro’ effect lends a brooding, emotional intensity to the scene. Read more -
