SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:Source Code: A Solo Exhibition by Jemana Murti
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Source Code\, the second solo exhibition by Balinese artist Jemana Murti\, opening in October 2026. The exhibition presents a focused examination of Jemana’s evolving practice in response to his Balinese identity within modernity\, exploring the tensions between cultural heritage and technological advancement. \nRaised in a family of artists and deeply influenced by Balinese Hindu traditions\, Jemana’s practice is rooted in an ongoing engagement with the cultural forms and knowledge systems of his home. His work is informed by his interest in ethnomathematics and by the use of proportion\, repetition\, and spatial relationships within Balinese artistic and architectural traditions.  \n  \nIn Source Code\, Jemana brings these inherited forms into dialogue with technologies of the present\, using 3D scanning\, 3D printing\, and artificial intelligence to create sculptural works marked by deliberate distortions and “glitches.” These visual disruptions signal the inherent limitations of technology in replicating the cultural and spiritual significance embedded within these forms. At the same time\, he draws a parallel between the reverence once accorded to divine figures and the growing authority given to technologies that are increasingly perceived as “all-knowing.”   \nThis tension takes on a new material dimension in a recent expansion of Jemana’s practice\, through a series of bronze sculptures created in collaboration with Yogya Art Lab. The works begin as digitally reconstructed and warped forms\, which are then translated into bronze\, carrying the distortions of the virtual realm into physical form. The resulting sculptures bring together the instability of digital manipulation with the weight and permanence of bronze\, a material long associated with durability. Through this process\, Jemana brings a central tension within his practice into sharper focus: the fluidity of technological systems alongside the persistence of cultural forms\, and how technological transformation might nevertheless carry forward or reconfigure something of their cultural and material continuity.

SUMMARY:LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 - 19th EDITION
DESCRIPTION:LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 – 19th EDITION \nOctober 09 – 22\, 2026 \nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space \n  \nITSLIQUID Group\, in collaboration with YMX Arts\, is pleased to announce the opening of the 19th edition of LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR. On view from October 09 to October 22\, 2026\, at the central ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, the exhibition brings together international artists working across painting\, sculpture\, photography\, video art\, and performance\, exploring the multisensory dimensions of human consciousness. \n  \nLONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 analyses the complex relationship between body and space\, investigating the continuous hybridisation between individual identities and the cultural\, physical\, and urban settings of our contemporary era. The selected artists draw inspiration from the evocative power of London\, exploring the connection between desires\, needs\, and fears through rituals that bring humankind to change\, transform and evolve their inner world. \n  \nThis inner journey opens with a meditation on perception itself through Burcu Yildirim Parlak’s “Traces of Light”\, which builds a layered terrain of gestural marks and pastel tones settling like imprints of memory\, fragments of experience surfacing through colour. Carina Rabelbauer pushes this exploration further inward with “Ajna – The Eye”\, an immersive field of blue and gold named after the third eye\, where attention turns from the outer world to the awakening of consciousness within. Read together\, the two pieces form a single arc – from the mark left by experience to the eye that learns to read it – establishing the exhibition’s central premise that awareness is felt through the senses before it is understood. \n  \nFrom this interior gaze\, the exhibition shifts outward to the body’s encounter with the city. Kijoo Bae’s “Lines of Silence” renders the rhythm of urban architecture in a striking black-and-white composition\, where repeated structural patterns become a kind of visual hush – quiet not as absence\, but as order. Lola Llinares answers this stillness with motion and noise: her “Traffic Lights” is a dense\, chromatically charged canvas that channels the pulse and friction of city life – hush and traffic become two faces of the same urban condition\, embodying the show’s inquiry into how the self is shaped\, and hybridised\, by the physical and cultural settings it moves through. \n  \nThe exhibition’s final movement turns to the human figures who inhabit this space. In “Véra\, Isabella et Julia”\, Karole Aubourg lets three distinct presences merge into a single earthy\, textured field\, suggesting how separate selves blur and layer into one another over time\, while Piotr Kulikowski’s “Light of Late Summer” captures a comparable threshold with  \n  \na vibrant\, fiery palette\, holding the fleeting moment when one season gives way to the next. Robert T. Rogers closes this sequence with “Bring It to Pass”\, a luminous work suspended between rose and blue that speaks of passage and becoming – a fitting counterpoint to Kulikowski’s seasonal turn\, both artists picturing change as something gradual\, almost atmospheric. \n  \nAcross these different practices\, a common thread emerges: the self is never fixed\, but continuously written and rewritten by light\, place\, and time.  Among the pieces on view\, the exhibition also features a selection of video artworks (see video program). \n  \nOPENING \nOctober 09\, 2026 | 06:00 PM \nRSVP: info@itsliquid.com \nFree entry – Register here \n  \nEXHIBITION DAYS \nOctober 10 – 22\, 2026 \nTuesday – Saturday | 11.00 AM – 05.00 PM \n  \nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space \n253 Hoxton Street\, London N1 5LG \n

SUMMARY:Shifting Images: Photography from Singapore 2000 - 2025\, Systems of Seeing\, Where Images Gather
DESCRIPTION:Artist: Chua Chye Teck\, John Clang\, Geraldine Kang\, Lai Yu Tong\, Bob Lee\, Robert Zhao Renhui\, Zen Teh\, Chow and Lin \nExhibition Period: 11 October 2026 – 10 November 2026 \n  \nPhotography has often been understood through the singular image—the decisive moment\, the iconic photograph\, the picture that stands alone. Yet meaning can also emerge through relationships between images. Through repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, photographs become part of larger structures through which we observe\, organise and understand the world. \n  \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather brings together eight Singapore artists whose practices approach photography as a means of gathering\, classifying\, connecting and constructing knowledge. Across the exhibition\, images form collections\, inventories\, sequences and networks of relationships. Rather than functioning independently\, individual photographs become components within larger systems\, gaining meaning through their relationship to one another and to the structures in which they operate. \n  \nGeraldine Kang’s By Unit of Measurement (2016)\, extending from the gallery entrance into its interior\, introduces the exhibition’s central proposition: the ways we see and assign value are shaped by systems that are rarely neutral. Kang considers how people\, objects and experiences are measured\, while Under the guise of surface (2014) extends this inquiry into public space. Through a staged act resembling municipal maintenance\, Kang draws attention to how the urban environment is continually regulated\, maintained and represented\, determining what remains visible and what disappears. \n  \nQuestions of classification and authority continue in Robert Zhao Renhui’s A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World (2013)\, which adopts the language of scientific documentation to construct a speculative archive of nature. Lai Yu Tong’s Corners (1–35) (2015) turns repetition into a sustained exercise in looking\, transforming overlooked corners into a sequence shaped by duration\, constraint and persistence. \n  \nElsewhere\, comparison becomes a means of understanding larger social structures. Chow and Lin’s The Poverty Line (2010–2026) brings together photographs made across different cities to examine inequality\, allowing individual observations to become part of a broader comparative study. Chua Chye Teck’s Memories (2015) gathers discarded construction wire as traces of Singapore’s changing built environment\, turning accumulation into an act of remembering. 4 selected works from this series are titled Remains of Memories. \n  \nBob Lee’s Memory Blocks (2009-ongoing) similarly builds meaning through accumulation. Portraits of families living in HDB flats come together as a collective image of domestic and social life in Singapore. In John Clang’s Being Together (2010–2012)\, photography becomes a means of connection\, temporarily bringing together families separated by migration and physical distance. \n  \nZen Teh’s Un-knowing (2014) shifts these processes towards landscape. Combining fragments photographed across Singapore’s parks and nature reserves\, Teh constructs landscapes that appear familiar yet cannot be located in any single place\, unsettling the distinction between observing the environment and producing it through images. \n  \nAcross Systems of Seeing: Where Images Gather\, photography extends beyond recording what is before the camera. Through measurement\, classification\, repetition\, accumulation\, comparison and connection\, these artists reveal how images participate in constructing ways of knowing. The exhibition asks us to consider not only what photographs show\, but the systems through which they acquire meaning: what is gathered\, measured\, classified\, connected\, preserved or erased—and how these structures ultimately shape what\, and how\, we see. \n__________________________________________ \nSystems of Seeing: Where Images Gather is part of Shifting Images\, a series of exhibitions exploring the diversity and evolution of photographic practices in Singapore. Across eight exhibitions\, Shifting Images brings together different generations of artists and approaches to photography\, reflecting on how the medium has developed\, expanded and responded to changing social\, cultural and technological contexts. \n  \nCurated by Gwen Lee\, with curatorial assistance from Cavin Lim and Luna Chang.

SUMMARY:CONTEMPORARY VENICE - 19TH EDITION 2026
DESCRIPTION:CONTEMPORARY VENICE – 19TH EDITION 2026 \n16 – 30 October 2026 \nPalazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, Venice \n  \nITSLIQUID Group is proud to announce the opening of the 19th edition of CONTEMPORARY VENICE\, an international art exhibition running from October 16 to October 30\, 2026\, during the 61st Venice Biennale of Art. Hosted inside the 16th-century Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello\, the exhibition brings together a selected group of global artists working across painting\, photography\, video art\, sculpture\, installation\, and live performance. \n  \nCONTEMPORARY VENICE explores the evolving relationship between the body and the spaces we inhabit\, reflecting on how identities are shaped\, transformed\, and hybridised within today’s cultural\, physical\, social\, and urban environments. The exhibition unfolds through two sections: MIXING IDENTITIES\, which investigates the inner dimensions of identity and the body as a relational system\, and FUTURE LANDSCAPES\, where boundaries dissolve and space becomes an open field of ideas and possibilities. \n  \nThe idea of a hybrid and ever-changing self takes shape in works that blur the boundaries between form: in this sense\, Bardia Mehdinejad presents “Bluebird”\, a collage in which a blue-plumed bird and a rhinoceros emerge from a violet ground\, composes a dreamlike creature that resists any single definition. This tension between concealment and presence also animates “Untouchable skies” by Antonella Camisassi\, where two veiled figures turn toward one another: their features are hidden\, yet the gesture of closeness makes their bond unmistakable\, and the fabric that shrouds them becomes at once a barrier and a form of protection. From the relationship between bodies\, the focus shifts to the body as matter in Leonardo Glauso’s “Busto”\, whose surface\, traversed by vibrant strokes of red and blue\, reads as a stratified territory of memory and emotion. This inward movement reaches its depth in Pati Avakian’s “Weigh of existence”\, where a watchful face rises from a deeply textured\, almost geological surface\, as if the hidden layers of consciousness had been brought to light. \n  \nIdentity\, however\, is never built in isolation\, and the exhibition also looks at the encounters and shared spaces that shape it. Terje Kjølseth captures in “Serious Talk” the quiet exchange between two elderly women seated on a bench\, a bond sustained over time and distilled into a single black and white image. On a very different register\, Rui Carruco suspends a luminous fragment of childhood on the shore in “Between sand and light”\, where figures\, sand\, and light merge into a memory in motion; finally\, Vheneka Roy Dakarayi Magazi closes this first part of the journey with “Ultraviolet”\, an intense red field from which a patterned headpiece appears at the very edge of the frame\, playing on presence and concealment and on the cultural signs through which identity is expressed and perceived. \n  \nThe path then opens onto the Future Landscapes section\, where space turns fluid and imagination takes the lead. In the video work “The Fractals: los improbables”\, Yolanda Spínola-Elías imagines a habitat of creatures evoking unknown oceans and alternative evolutionary histories – their multiple eyes seem to return our gaze\, drawing the viewer into an encounter suspended between recognition and strangeness\, and asking how we extend attention and care beyond resemblance. \n  \nWithin this landscape that continues to dissolve and expand\, Aldo Luigi Gaddi transforms the Venetian lagoon into a boundless vision in “Laguna di Venezia Circolare”\, bending sea and sky into one another until horizon and perspective vanish. This dissolution carries on in Kingsley Gunatillake’s “Oto II”\, where landscape is reduced to pure atmosphere\, a melting field of yellow and orange that invites a journey through sensation rather than place.  \n  \nIn “Bleu Echo”\, Beatrice de Diego lets blue ink spread and resonate across the paper like an echo\, turning the gesture into an expanding space\, while Mary More completes the itinerary with “Puzzle”\, an interlacing of blue signs and fragments that seek one another and recompose into a landscape of thought in continuous transformation. \n  \nCONTEMPORARY VENICE 2026 offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices\, further enriched by a great selection of video artworks (see video program). \n  \nCONTEMPORARY VENICE – 19TH EDITION 2026 \n  \nPalazzo Albrizzi-Capello  \nAssociazione Culturale Italo-Tedesca (ACIT)\, Cannaregio 4118\, Venice  \n  \nOpening \nOctober 16\, 2026 | 06:00 PM  \nRSVP: info@itsliquid.com  \nFree entry – Register here  \n  \nExhibition days  \nOctober 19 – 30\, 2026  \nMonday – Friday | 09:30 AM – 05:30 PM  \n

SUMMARY:Dramatis Personae: 1001 Lives — A Major Exhibition of 15 Female Southeast Asian Artists Exploring the Multiplicity of Identity
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Dramatis Personae: 1001 Lives\, a major group exhibition featuring works by 15 visionary female artists across Southeast Asia and beyond\, exploring the fluidity of identity and the imaginative possibilities of selfhood. The opening reception will be graced by the presence of Ms Jane Ittogi\, Spouse of the 9th President of the Republic of Singapore\, as Guest of Honour. \n  \nCurated by Joyce Toh\, the exhibition features internationally acclaimed Singaporean artists Suzann Victor and Sarah Choo Jing; seminal Balinese artist I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih alongside Fadilah Karim (Malaysia)\, Kayleigh Goh (Malaysia)\, Dzikra Afifah (Indonesia)\, Satya Cipta (Indonesia)\, Betty Adii (Indonesia)\, Nona Garcia (Philippines)\, Wawi Navarroza (Philippines)\, Goldie Poblador (Philippines)\, Lê Hiền Minh (Vietnam/United States)\, Soe Yu Nwe (Myanmar)\, Aracha Cholitgul (Thailand) and Imhathai Suwatthanasilp (Thailand). \n  \nDramatis Personae: 1001 Lives unfolds as a theatre of selves\, where the artist assumes the dual role of actor and author\, conjuring a multiplicity of personhoods within the space of the artwork. Paired with the narrative resonance of One Thousand and One Nights\, the exhibition frames artistic practice as an expansive and generative act—one that celebrates the possibility of manifold lives. Across these varied practices\, identity becomes a site of exploration in which contradictory impulses and multiple ways of being can coexist. The exhibition also reflects on the roles women inhabit and negotiate in everyday life\, while foregrounding their agency to construct identities beyond prescribed expectations. \n  \nThreaded throughout the exhibition is the figure of Scheherazade\, whose nightly acts of storytelling become strategies of survival and transformation. Like Scheherazade\, the artists turn to narrative as a means of opening possibilities and reimagining the conditions of their own existence. Multiplicity thus emerges as a form of agency: an insistence that the self can hold many lives\, voices and possibilities at once.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:PAINTINGS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF LIFE - VENICE 2026 A solo exhibition by Peer\, The New Dutch Painter
DESCRIPTION:PAINTINGS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF LIFE – VENICE 2026 \nA solo exhibition by Peer\, The New Dutch Painter \nOctober 27 – November 02\, 2026 \nPalazzo Pisani-Revedin\, Venice \n  \nITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the opening of “Paintings About the Origin of Life – Venice 2026”\, a solo exhibition by Peer\, The New Dutch Painter\, curated by Luca Curci and co-curated by Amaride Ferrante\, that will open on October 27\, 2026\, at 06:00 PM at Palazzo Pisani-Revedin\, in Venice. The exhibition will run until November 02\, 2026.\n\nThe exhibition brings together a selection of large-scale paintings investigating one of humanity’s oldest and most fascinating questions: where do we come from?\n\nAt the centre of Peer’s artistic research is the concept of abiogenesis\, the scientific hypothesis that life on Earth emerged from non-living matter through a process of chemical evolution. The term refers to the possible transition from simple non-living substances to the first forms of life\, a process that remains one of science’s greatest questions and mysteries. Peer transforms this idea into an imaginative visual universe populated by primordial creatures\, cosmic encounters and fragments of an ancient world. Rather than attempting to illustrate a scientific theory literally\, his paintings use the origin of life as a starting point for a broader reflection on existence\, evolution and our relationship with nature.\n\nHis visual language moves between science\, philosophy\, spirituality and humour\, creating narratives that are at once playful and profound. Behind their striking colours\, unusual characters and provocative titles lies a broader reflection on the origins of existence and on the interdependence of all living things.\n\nWe are not separate from nature. We are nature. The creatures presented from an imagined past become metaphors for contemporary human existence. They search\, struggle\, connect\, reproduce\, wander and adapt\, driven by the same forces that have shaped life for billions of years. Peer’s works invite viewers to imagine a world before humanity\, before language\, before civilisation: a time when life was still taking its first uncertain steps.\n\nThe emphasis on connection gradually shifts the exhibition from the origins of life towards the nature of existence itself. Peer’s creatures may belong to an imagined prehistoric world\, yet their experiences are immediately recognisable. They search for companionship\, struggle against uncertainty\, face change and attempt to find their way through an unfamiliar universe. \n\n“Lost in space” transforms this primordial displacement into a contemporary metaphor for humanity’s own sense of disconnection\, while “The Moon and Me” introduces a more solitary dimension\, connecting the vastness of the cosmos with the universal desire for meaning and belonging.\n\nThe passage of life from one generation to another also becomes part of this larger narrative. In “Nonno And His Rebellious Grandson“\, the primordial world becomes unexpectedly familiar\, using the relationship between two generations to reflect on continuity\, difference and the persistence of connection. Similarly\, “The Curious Twins” capture the wonder of encountering a universe that is still being formed. Their astonishment becomes our own: looking at these creatures\, the viewer is invited to reconsider the mystery of being alive. \n\nPeer also deliberately introduces humour\, irony and absurdity into a subject traditionally associated with scientific speculation and philosophical seriousness. The unusual characters and provocative titles allow the artist to approach profound questions without turning them into solemn statements. In “The Funny One“\, humour itself becomes a survival instinct\, while works such as “Mrs. Robinson\, I Presume?” transform an encounter between primordial beings into an unexpectedly human moment.\n\nTogether\, the works form a visual journey through emergence\, connection\, adaptation and transformation: the origin of life emerges as a continuous process\, shaping the ways living beings exist\, interact and evolve across time: the story of life is also our story.\n\nBy looking back towards the oceans\, the stars\, the first organisms and the primordial forces that shaped our planet\, Peer encourages us to reconsider our place within the larger web of existence. His paintings remind us that long before humanity began to define itself as separate from the natural world\, we were already part of it. \n  \nOrganized by ITSLIQUID Group \nCurator Luca Curci \nAssociate curator Amaride Ferrante \nGraphic designer Sara De Rosa \n  \nPAINTINGS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF LIFE – VENICE 2026 \nA solo exhibition by Peer\, The New Dutch Painter \nPalazzo Pisani-Revedin \nSan Marco 4013A\, Venice\, Italy\n \n \nOpening \nOctober 27\, 2026 | 06:00 PM \nRSVP: info@itsliquid.com \nFree entry – Register here\n \n \nExhibition days \nOctober 28 – November 02\, 2026 \nMonday – Sunday | 10:30 AM – 01:30 PM and 02:30 PM – 06:00 PM \n  \nPeer\, The New Dutch Painter – About \n  \nPeer\, The New Dutch Painter is a Dutch contemporary artist whose vibrant\, large-scale paintings explore the emergence of life and humanity’s place within nature. Self-taught as an artist\, Peer developed a distinctive visual language based on bold colour\, expressive compositions\, unusual characters and thought-provoking titles. His paintings combine a strong sense of visual immediacy with narratives that encourage viewers to reflect on questions of existence\, evolution and human connection. Before dedicating himself fully to painting\, Peer spent many years as CEO of a leading Amsterdam strategic communication and design agency. His international career was built around strategy\, communication and storytelling – disciplines that continue to inform his approach to painting today. After his first exhibitions in Europe\, including presentations in the Netherlands and a Venice Biennale-related solo exhibition\, Peer is now expanding his presence within the international contemporary art scene. His artistic ambition goes beyond creating visually striking paintings. Through his work\, he seeks to spark dialogue\, inspire wonder and reconnect people with the larger story of life on Earth. \n
