Viewing Room: Art Miami Collection 2022

This winter Pontone Gallery exhibits at the prestigious Art Miami fair. The gallery showcases a selection of its international artists, who range across the fields of painting, lightboxes and sculpture. Common to all is a deep immersion in and mastery of their chosen practice. From 24th November until 11th December Pontone Gallery will be running a parallel exhibition featuring these artists at its London space in Fitzrovia. 

Korean sculptor, Hwang Seontae, makes lightboxes. Constructed from etched glass and concealed LED lighting, these are meticulously crafted images of still contemplation which depict contemporary, domestic interiors.

Malcolm Liepke, an American artist, is a painter of a particular world, a 'demi-monde', inhabited by mostly young and attractive subjects, who project an air of self-absorption and watchfulness.

Matteo Massagrande is a critically acclaimed Italian painter. He creates images of atmospheric architectural vistas and emotionally significant landscapes. His exemplary draughtsmanship sets out a spatially coherent template.

Englishman Chris Rivers makes powerfully gestural oil paintings in a contemporary, Romantic idiom. His representations and surfaces are fractured and break from illusion to abstraction at a glance.

Internationally acclaimed Uruguayan sculptor Pablo Atchugarry’s works form part of many major collections, both public and private. His powerful sculptures talk of the tectonic movements that originated the mountains.

Reef Hsu deploys painstaking accumulations of uniform, cellular, grain-shaped marks that combine to make a softly-textured, modulated surface.
