"FERVOUR AND HUMILITY" GROUP SHOW, ORGANISED BY WHITE SPACE GALLERY,
FEATURES WORKS BY THREE RUSSIAN ARTISTS: KLIOT, ROSSINE & SHINKAREV
Works by three Russian artists: Vladimir Shinkarev, Solomon Rossine and the late Alexander
Kliot, are on show in London's Cork Street, in an exhibition entitled, "Fervour and
Humility." According to the brochure, which we received at the exhibition's private
view last Tuesday, "Fervour" is applied to Rossine, who was born in the late
thirties, and "Humility" is applied to Shinkarev - born over 15 years later.
Another characteristic, "Intensity", is applied to Kliot who - before he died in
1998 - was roughly the same age as his peer, Shinkarev. Rossine - who has previously
exhibited widely in France - is showing 18 works, ranging from £1,200 up to £10,000
(though nearly half of them are priced at £1,500). Shinkarev is showing the same number
of pieces, including our favourite: the 1997 "The Fir-Tree" oil-on-canvas (110cm
x 76cm) at £5,500. His other works range in price from £1,500 up to £6,500. Kliot's
works, as one would imagine, are some of the highest priced. £17,000 is being sought for
his 1995 "Hampstead Heath" oil-on-canvas. His other works range in price from
£2,000 up to £12,500. Discover more yourself, make this one of gallery stops today in a
street which is crammed full of commercial art galleries Telephone 020 8740 4675 or e-mail
[e-mail address removed] for more information, if required. Location: "Gallery
27", Cork Street, London, W1. Tube station: Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly and
Victoria lines). http://www.whitespacegallery.co.uk

AFTER LUXEMBOURG... YOUR CHANCE TO SEE NEW YORK GALLERY'S "AUTUMN
MEMORIES": PAINTED SCENES OF LONDON'S PARKS, AS WELL AS CITYSCAPES IN FRANCE,
HOLLAND, ITALY & VIETNAM - BY VIETAMESE ARTIST, PHAM LUAN
Today is the last day to see the two-week exhibition of recent works by Vietnamese artist,
Pham Luan, who is in his late forties. It has been organised by the New York art gallery,
Judith Hughes Day. We met Judith - along with the artist - shortly after the show opened,
earlier this month. The exhibition, comprising 27 scenic canvases, spread over two floors,
is entitled, "Autumn Memories: Pham Luan's Paintings of Hanoi and Beyond." As
this title suggests, and according to what the promotional leaflet states, .'..Pham Luan
paints the ancient streets of his hometown, Hanoi, as well as other special places he
admires: London, Venice, Amsterdam and Giverney.' And, like the artist's travels, this
exhibition has also travelled and been seen by many - before it heads back to the Big
Apple and state of bluebirds and roses. People in Luxembourg recently had a chance to
appreciate the artist's strong, broad paint strokes and numerous shades of green! These
shades of green is what we liked in his picture, "Strolling in Green Park,
2003." It is an oil-on-canvas (60cm x 90cm), priced at £3,000, and shows a young
couple with pram, along with a seated figure in the park nearest to London's Cork Street.
A perfect match for this masterpiece, on anyone's wall, would probably have to be the
identically sized and already sold, "St James Park 2003." Also an oil-on-canvas,
it reveals a scene from another of London's beautiful parks. Prices for Pham's other works
range from £2,200 up to £13,000. Go along to discover other worlds as well as scenes of
our own world, here in London. Admission free. Telephone 020 7734 7010 (during exhibition
times) for more information, if required. Location: Arndean Gallery, 23 Cork Street,
London, W1. Tube station: Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines).

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN WEST KENSINGTON YOU CAN DISCOVER BHUTAN, TREES,
"DEER", CERAMICS, FASHION, "JAPANESE BOOK", ETC., THANKS TO MALI'S
GROUP SHOW OF FIVE ARTISTS FROM CAMBODIA & INDIA
Today is the last day to see the art exhibition, "Mali and Friends: Contemporary Art
Work" at the Institute of Indian Culture, "Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan." Mali
has lined up several artists: Vinita Khanna Hassard; Jaya Patel; Jill Rock; Ibrahim Wagh;
Khin You and himself for an interesting show of contemporary art in a large, well lit
gallery in West Kensington. Let us see what we found, when we went along earlier this
month. Vinita Khanna Hassard - one of the artists we spoke to at the exhibition's opening
- has seven landscapes on show. They have been put together using watercolour on board (4)
and a variety of original mixed media: plastic bags, packaging and ink on Perspex (2) and
another, similar one but without the packaging. We liked her "Somewhere in
Bhutan." Jaya Patel is displaying photographs of crystals, nature and trees. On a
similar theme Jill Rock finds pieces of wood - in places like Wimbledon Common - and
decorates them by adding layers of good adhesive paint, has ten pieces on show. These
range in price from £120 up to £750. Ibrahim Wagh - a paper ceramic enthusiast, who has
lived in England since 1961 - has seven works on show, which range in price from £150 up
to £950. His works are mainly Glass Enamels on Metal (4), with the remaining - including
our favourite "Human Kite", a large diamond-shaped picture with a face mask and
model of a body attached - being Paper and Ceramics (3). Cambodia-born artist Khin You,
settled in Twickenham in 1999, after - seemingly, having had over thirty years of solo
shows in numerous countries: Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Abu Dhabi
(United Arab Emirates) and - most recently, in the mid nineties - Qatar. His oil and
string paintings we learnt are a celebration of "togetherness." They range in
price from £200 up to £1,500, and feature a range of fashion-related themes, including
female figures and shoes in various locations: "Black Woman"; "Women
Suffering"; "Woman On Black Chair"; "Red Shoe On The Stage" and
"Black Shoe In The Desert." Females and shoes - in our mind, always together and
definitely inseparable! Like some men are with their golf-trolleys or play stations (just
to balance the argument)! Mali - from Bombay in India and whose mixed media (encased
miniature books in white casings) we have written about before on these web pages, has 10
titled works on show. Nine of them are for sale, including "Pushkalani", a mixed
media work in four parts. The rest of his collection, on show at this first-floor gallery,
is £500 apiece. With 25 solo shows and 90 group shows under his belt, Mali certainly has
a depth of experience - as well as numbers of people, that have both seen and bought his
works - that any book publisher would relish. Today you have a chance to join others by
going along to the last day of the group show, of artists brought together by Mali. E-mail
Mali at [e-mail address removed] for more information about the artists and exhibits or
telephone 020 7381 3086 for more information, if required, about the venue. Location: The
Bhavan Centre, 4a Castletown Road, London, W14. Tube station: West Kensington (District
line).
