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: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: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
