Exhibition Review - Michelle Grabner:'gingham' Rocket gallery, London till 16th Jan 2016.

Image of Rocket gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

The words become wider,
wilder, limned by a new shore,
stretched thin,
over the original.- Drenched Co

Comment: "Michelle's gingham is pulled onto canvas out of the subtle patterns and backdrops of American households. And to me, her re-articulation of the gingham is a 'recycling' of clichés and it points to our changing language while speaking to me of the conditions of contemporary life in quiet material whispers. Fab!" - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Pamela Golden:'Charlie Don’t Surf' Marlborough Contemporary, London till 9th Jan 2016.

Image of Marlborough Contemporary, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


With Pamela, I am surrounded by hell's fire-rimmed circles of lovely terrors.- Drenched Co

Comment: "I see Pamela as the artist-naturalist Maria Merian. Instead of insects and Suriname, Pamela is on an expedition to our places of terror bringing men with their fiction of power and conquests together, and in the process, beautifying and neutralising them. And as surf dudes use their 'guns' to 'destroy'  where charlie and perhaps the dodas don't surf, Pamela's napalm sumi-e brush sets everything ablaze. The visible pixels of the printed images are like scales of a reptile or insect appearing out of the painting and I am reminded of Merian who suggests art and nature will always conquer each other." - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Mark Leckey:'Dream English Kid, 1964 - 1999 AD' Cabinet Gallery, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Cabinet Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


For Leckey, isn’t reconstruction like forsaking, a kind of memory? - Drenched Co

Comment: "I have always imagined Mark Leckey as that guy in Nick Hornby's 'High Fidelity' who obsesses over his 'mixtapes' and his exquisitely catalogued store of treasured memories. Leckey uses memories as not just things of the past but objects that can be searched for, retrieved, embellished and reconstructed in the present. And through his genius, he has moved a generation of artists with his overplayed modern day 'mixtapes'. His latest at Cabinet uses manipulated and constructed mixes and it is cerebral, immersive, moving and deeply autobiographical. Perhaps I need to make him one in return!" - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Stephen Dwoskin at Vilma Gold, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Vilma Gold, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


With Dwoskin, my gaze is never dishonest in its horror. - Drenched Co

Comment: "Watching Dwoskin's films, I am rooted when I can't wait to escape. 'Girl' (1971) shames me for my sadistic voyeurism. I don't want to be seen and exposed. Yet this is what Dwoskin does to me. I felt it again in his masterpiece 'Behindert' (1974).  It is this 'fourth look', present in a lot of Dwoskin's first person narratives where his subjective camera limits the vision in ways that horror may hide in its blindspots. I can't go back! " - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Olaf Breuning, FOS, Dan McCarthy, Peter McDonald, Muller van Severen:'DON'T WORRY' Kate MacGarry, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Kate MacGarry, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

At Kate MacGarry's,
light is the fringe of my lunacy,
as I float in soluble pixels, 
stitched with crush-crackled glee.- Drenched Co

Comment: "I walked into this exhibition to a Camera Obscura. There it was with Olaf bringing in his Brechtian perspectives and FOS his keyhole, and his social fabric through paths, lines and systems. Muller van Severen have their planes, lines and boxes - function with color and light - and Dan offers his petrified memories. Finally, Peter provides the 'film' with his blobs of translucence, ready to fire their first neuron to the light of whimsy and veiled lunacy of the everyday. Hilarious!" - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Rachael Champion, Agnes Denes, Rachel Pimm at Hales Gallery, London till 18th Dec 2015.

Image of Hales Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

bloom keys in plastic wraps
slobber and messy tears,
outpaces,
the pang of its thorns
in stained vaults of capital.- Drenched Co

Comment: "This exhibition made me think of the lowly plant pot. It houses a plant that becomes an object, one of intermediate experience, an accessory, and allows for the man made pursuit of the perfect natural, to become unnatural. The pot may also be thought of as human ingenuity at work in the service of the planet to allow the plant to enter the build environment, to adapt and convert, while we tear through the planet chasing capital. The pot changes the natural and the artificial. Fabulous." - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Jonas Wood at Gagosian Gallery, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Gagosian Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


Jonas' paintings look out to a world 
tilted on an axis of  burgeoning indices,
as he folds the what in folding into fold
and fold again, briefly.- Drenched Co

Comment: "I believe Jonas Wood's best work is based on the ever expanding vocabulary of his interiors, his garden, his memories and the America he loves through the multitude of indexes he nurtures and creates - through the felt, the seen, the remembered, the painted, the paintings painted, the drawings of drawings, the collages, the collages of collages etc. I love his slightly off-kilter interiors best." - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Juha Pekka Matias Laakkonen:'Within a Hollow Sphere' Tommaso Corvi-Mora, London till 23rd Dec 2015. In Condo, I see chevrons

Image of Corvi-Mora London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

With Juha, I am eavesdropping on a log
a cinema of unspoken thought.- Drenched Co

Comment: "Juha harbours post human ideals. His perspectives are fluid and his identities many.  He is at once the maker and the made. His art wants you to experience, through his artifacts, the 'performance', the landscape, the trees and allow the event to become central, to change you. Either that or you leave in a hurry!" - Raj.

Exhibition Review - Henrik Eiben:'Condo' Bartha Contemporary London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Bartha Contemporary London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


In Condo, I see chevrons 
pressed into potential,
while Eiben crackles 
in wild-fire creases,
flaring the moment
I glance away.- Drenched Co

Comment: "When I look at Henrik's work, I don't see static art.  I see origami chevrons creased into movement. Past and future choices made by the artist keep me in suspense by the balance in the amount of wall inside and outside of the work- a constantly changing captivating mystery. Henrik's invisible hand makes scintillating choices, never exhausting possibilities,  the work's structure seemingly purified of all reference. " - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Liu Jianhua:'Between' Pace London till 23rd Dec 2015.

Image of Pace London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


Jianhua's unleaded kiln
arranges china into bone within a system: 
Invasion of human clay
into ruled porcelain puddles 
of fragile blue skies.- Drenched Co

Comment: "Jianhua's poetry needs good poetry (better than anything I can write). Everything else falls short. Jianhua's work is seeped in heritage and porcelain has an interesting history in England and aren't we just so enarmoured with porcelain and ceramics just now? I loved his 'Untitled 2012', a set of eight ceramic discs. " - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Yngve Holen:'Earthling' Stuart Shave/ Modern Art, London till 18th Dec 2015.

Image of Stuart Shave/ Modern Art, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Yngve's alien-encounter is a version 
of the total angle that eyed me
in the shape of a deep signal breach. - Drenched Co

Comment: "In this exhibition, I believe Yngve is still concerned  with ideas about how our relationship to objects is constantly being undermined and made needlessly complex through human agency. My 'scooter' is alien to me, however much I need and depend on it.  It is an alien casting its evil eye upon me, smirking like a hater-head, mirroring the distrusting and secretive industries that put it together. " - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Gili Tal at Vilma Gold, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Vilma Gold, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

In an in-between moment, on the cusp of motion,
the capital brings on its charm and instrument,
I wanted to say, "Sir, where is Ms Tal at?
Which section, box or shelf would I find me?" - Drenched Co

Comment: "Muji expressionism indeed (I am not the first to use this description)- it is a challenge to get to know Ms Tal. And with her no-brand art, I think she wants to tell you that you are in the 'waiting rooms' of life and 'the' capital is throwing fridge full of brands at you and into every aspect of your life at every moment. Even the plants are in cahoots with it - waving you in like a Maneki-neko. Kewl!" - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - David Harrison: ' Flowers of Evil' Victoria Miro, London till 18th Dec 2015.


Image of Victoria Miro, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Under trees that bloom the year long,
the fester of my soul tallied its reek.
- Drenched Co

Comment: "I am convinced that David Harrison paints about the modern day 'stink' and he paints this in his particular quaint mortified fascination with odoriferous fauna and flora. The colors and lines and drama of the ever present assault on our noses is unmistakable in his art, all unfolding in the charm of his English garden." - JayZee.

Exhibition Review - Cristina Iglesias: 'Phreatic Zones' Marian Goodman Gallery, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Marian Goodman Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

With Iglesias, I am with Kalos and Musides,
from their lair below the city's surface,
their love, their genius, their disturbing lullabies, 
surging through olive roots in whispered tides.- Drenched Co

Comment: "At Marian Goodman, I walked in onto a  tomb and the remains of an olive tree and right into  H.P. Lovecraft's short story 'The Tree'. In Iglesias' installation/sculpture, I  saw the remains of a tree, conveying messages from the subterranean halls of the Great God Pan, birthing generative words in gurgles and flow of water about the old powerful magic of nature.  " - JayZee.

Image of Annely Juda Fine Art, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Lesley stays me by the edges. - Drenched Co

Comment: "The elegantly poised works of Lesley Foxcroft are a study of borders and limits and to me they hold a certain palpable tension, prepared for action, braced for something, the balance in poise having just passed the point of equilibrium. Ms. Foxcroft  is working in the springy walls of finity, empowered by sight, infected by light, defines reality and makes for good neighbours with our dreams and imagination.   " - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Lizi Sánchez: 'In a world that laughs' Domo Baal, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Domo Baal, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Lizi's art lies between 
itself and tin foil. - Drenched Co

Comment: "Lizi's decorative art advances, occupies and oscillates two sets of contradictory ideas. And it is painted on tin foil, a material used in packaging and for tin foil hats which may be seen as vehicles to seal in a set of ideas and seal out everything else. In a gallery, Lizi's beautiful geometric tin foils are the Faraday's cages for this fascinating oscillating persona.   " - FaSa.

Image of Tiwani Contemporary, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

With Vidal, I saw distant blood 
threaded through cotton 
and I wish it softer, from use. - Drenched Co

Comment: "This was a nose-bleed of an exhibition but  for me it captured a certain essence of Angola and its trials. In some ways it was like the graffiti artist Swoon gone seriously tribal. Loved some bits of it and wished for a softer introduction to this fascinating artist." - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Dorothy Cross: 'Eye of Shark' Frith Street Gallery, London till 23rd Dec 2015.

Image of Frith Street Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Wait while I let the room catch up
with these unsettled angles in me. - Drenched Co

Comment: "I imagined a death in this exhibition. A shark, finless, destabilised, dying becomes a receptacle for ideas around that which destabilises us -repression, desire, and eventually loss. Cross brings this receptacle to our attention and illuminates it with silver and gold, transforming it, making it live. The shark will always be there, watching, just underneath the surface, leaving a residue of gold." - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Thomas Demand: 'Latent Forms' Sprüth Magers, London till 19th Dec 2015.

Image of Sprüth Magers, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

I reach through Thomas to an empty space 
that twists and moves
and makes patterns I can't get to,
a world safe within its creases. - Drenched Co

Comment: "In my opinion, Demand is interested in the crease patterns (CP) of our past- CPs in the wrappers of salient events. His origami skills helps him to recreate from pictures (complete with marks of tape) to take amazing pictures of these CPs. Now though, he has no event, just CPs of a potential event. And he takes pictures of this and makes us imagine the event thus wonderfully walking the fine line between reality, photographic reality and fiction. Fabulous!" - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - Phoebe Unwin:'Distant People and Self-Soothing Objects' Wilkinson gallery, London till 18th Dec 2015.

Image of Wilkinson gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.
Phoebe chases ink into a summery shimmer
bruised by song and memory. - Drenched Co

Comment: "I adored these paintings especially the smaller works. I heard a deep hum of the hazy, the smelt, the seen and the felt summer emanating from them and I thought of the black sprayed ink catching corners, building shapes, bruising the canvas into memories. It is airbrushed immateriality." - FaSa.

Exhibition Review - David Musgrave at greengrassi, London till 23rd Dec 2015


Image of greengrassi, London with Art exhibition review by Drenched Co

Musgrave's art is a side effect of how its particular grey wants to feel. - Drenched Co

Comment: "Grey has neither the strength and mystery of black nor the clarity and safety of white but a little bit of both.  Musgrave's drawings and sculptures are neither material nor immaterial, neither finished nor unfinished, neither planned nor expressive but somewhere in-between. I loved loved 'Basic Machine', (pictured)." - Raj

Exhibition Review - Kara Walker: 'Norma' Victoria Miro Mayfair, London till 16th Jan 2016.

Image of Victoria Miro Mayfair, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Kara's shadows emerge from light
to nudge an outline of erasure
into a sharp white background.
( and now with colour). - Drenched Co

Comment: "I first saw Kara Walker's silhouettes in San Francisco in 2006 and I have never forgotten them. In Ms Walker's art  I saw the struggle of many generations just to be 'seen'. I saw blood running through every shadow and I saw the holes in our sight. I saw that the before is not much different from the now and this pattern is set to outline a dark future. But then, I saw 'Norma' in colour." - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Erika Verzutti: 'Two Eyes, Two Mouths' Alison Jacques Gallery, London till 17th Dec 2015.




With Verzutti, I muzzle
primal scraps, folded small. - Drenched Co

Comment: "I liked Verzutti's reliefs in a primal, totemic, cave-lit sort of way and in that sense they got me thinking about the base suppressed impulses tucked away in our bodies that appear  like a relief in the boundaries of our person, every now and then. " - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Rudolf Stingel at Sadie Coles HQ, London till 18th Dec 2015.

Image of Sadie Coles HQ, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.


With Stingel, I repaint the ghosts of a distant past,
my brushstrokes will not take the weight. - Drenched Co

Comment: "As always the passing of time is palpable in Stingel's art. I am reminded of a calendar of animals photographs from my own past, images of which stand salient still in my mind. Stingel's work to me is more about the linger of a past as time starts taking more than it gives. A millisecond stretched over what seems like an eternity of painting.  And  layers of pigmentation over time reminds me of Maya Angelou's poem 'Passing time': 'Your skin like dawn  Mine like musk  One paints the beginning  of a certain end. The other, the end of a sure beginning.' " - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Stefan Behlau:'BANZAI' PM/AM, London till 14th Dec 2015.

Image of PM/AM, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Color gushes in prismed haze,
a mirage, plump with promise. - Drenched Co

Comment: "With Stefan's paintings I saw vertical rhythms and chromatic weights and meticulously calculated and executed paintings. Less of a Banzai charge, more of a measured tumble or a calculated accident. I also saw an overcrowded field and high barriers of entry. Good luck Stefan." - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Jumana Manna at Chisenhale Gallery, London till 13th Dec 2015.

Image of Chisenhale Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Jumana records the captured luminosity of colonised hearts. - Drenched Co

Comment: "To me, this amazing artist is listening to the heartbeat of countless colonised hearts, cherishing the wonder and music emanating from the regions of the heart yet to be shrouded by fear, shedding a new light on the theatre of the impasse. Her installation, to me was this heart, with its ruins in the midst of the vital and the listening. " - JayZee

Image of Michael Werner Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

"..only the absences that the fragment evokes could possibly convey the anguish of the stuttering, inconstant self." - Drenched Co
Taken from : "A Body of Vision: Representations of the Body in Recent Film and Poetry" By R. Bruce Elder, Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press, 14 Oct 1998, pp 183.

Comment: "In this show, I was fascinated by the 'crop' in the bodies on display. The modern anxieties about bodily fragmentation or disintegration was clear to see paving a path perhaps to a better understanding the experiences of the body and its notions of lack." - JayZee

Exhibition Review - Sarah Woodfine:'We can hardly imagine how much the angels love the truly chaste' Danielle Arnaud, London till 13th Dec 2015.

Image of Danielle Arnaud, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Sarah plots barbed rhythms of my nightmares with her chaste pen.  - Drenched Co

Comment: "I saw Sarah's drawings/sculptures as 'ECG' plots, on paper drums, of the conflicted, messy multi-dimensional people that we are with our crowns of insecurities and seething hissy rages,  roping us away from our one-dimensional purity that we often fake for love and acceptance. Sarah's chaste controlled drawings are so very at odds with this messy sprawl. I loved 'When all the birds are in the sky' most." - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Rodrigo Matheus:'One – Entre – in the Middle' Ibid., London till 5th Dec 2015.




Wonder is an applied science,
the precise engineering of the 
readymade.  - Drenched Co

Comment: "I am in love with Matheus' 'mobiles'. I first saw them at Frieze London 2015. In my opinion he takes everyday technology and recirculates it - makes it do wonderful things in impossible arrangements that gesture at the original and the artificial. " - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Hannah Perry:'Mercury Retrograde' Seventeen, London till 5th Dec 2015.

Image of Seventeen Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Perry helps me remember 
so that I might forget.  - Drenched Co

Comment: "Ms. Perry mines patchworks of our personal and shared visual symbols and problematises them with her collaging, sampling techniques.  She seeks to undo the stabilising function of cultural traditions through which we retrieve our sameness, thus making us reconsider our mortality. E.g. Art history for Perry, as it is for many younger artists today, in my opinion, is of scant relevance.  In short, Perry's art tells me the only way to establish a meaningful relationship with history is to forget it." - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Rebecca Ward:'Aphasia' Ronchini Gallery, London till 5th Dec 2015.

Image of Ronchini Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Ms Ward's rooms of combed interiors
bringing gesture into material,
turn to threadbare exteriors,
where gesture becomes immaterial.  - Drenched Co

Comment: "I know Rebecca for her simple, geometric, multi-hued tape installations. I likened them to combed strands of hair, each strand formed by a spine, remaining singular even if each sweep of the comb begins the same way. In the new paintings, Rebecca pulls the fibres of her canvas to create her work. This time the material plays the larger role and the gesture thwarted. I loved her taped installations." - FaSa

Exhibition Review - Thea Djordjadze:'Ma Sa i a ly e a se – de' South London Gallery, London till 29th Nov 2015.

Image of South London Gallery, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

We are with Djordjadze, 
in the gasps of her rituals,
in her nostalgia with potentials,
in her suspended scattered visuals.
We are with Djordjadze,
and the mysteries of her art.  - Drenched Co

Comment: " Djordjadze’s rituals and nostalgia give her found objects and the spaces she inhabits a second existence, a kind of presence that probes and plays with language of sculpture and its limitations. Just like its title, this is a show that could trip you. I loved her 'For Deaf and Dumb Universe'." - Raj

Image of MOT International, London with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

Olabarrieta's esoteric sculptures
clap to an open beat
ready to dismantle,
to improvise with mine. - Drenched Co

Comment: "I see Olabarrieta's sculptures become these 'Sesame Street' type dancing characters, singing, shouting, clapping, willing you to make sense of them.  They want to merge, improvise with your beat and make something new.  Although I prefer her previous work 'Plot Bunny', I loved her new sculpture 'Wall lamp nose quiet'" - Raj

Image of Ellis King, Dublin with art exhibition review by Drenched Co.

This November,
Merlo's guitars
stage a silent storm
of signs. - Drenched Co

Comment: "This young Swiss artist wants to use his sculptures as biomorphic props in a staged setting to ask questions. Or it could just be a set of  strung souls hanging around life's stage in ribbed incandescence with Dublin weather providing the chatter." - Raj
