PANAL
Alfa Gallery is pleased to present ¨PANAL¨ a celebration of abstract art that includes paintings, installations and sculptures.
This exhibition is a selection of artists working within the abstract mode in its many manifestations.
While some artists investigate the purity of abstract form, others take inspiration from images or conceptual and social theories from the real world. Speak in the language of abstraction in its multiplicity of forms. The variety, strength and originality of these many approaches result in works that remain fresh and vibrant, continuing to move art into uncharted and inspiringly beautiful territory.
On view until August 31, 2022

The new group exhibition at Alfa Gallery Miami highlights artistic processes that address a hybridization of painting and sculpture. With a deliberate focus on wall-based works, we present sculptural forms in which the boundaries between painting and sculpture are explored, blurred and suspended. Because these objects, while possessing dimensional qualities, inhabit the wall, a place traditionally occupied by painting, they reference painting yet function beyond it. Wall sculptures hold the possibility of making things appear or disappear depending on where one stands in relation to the work. Where painting ends and sculpture begins...

ORBIT
TEN DAYS ON THE ISLAND
‘It is what it is’ is such a frustrating statement. Usually, its utterance implies a lack of critical or analytical capacity, often tinged perhaps with defensiveness, or even a lack of inclination to engage. It can of course also refer on a higher plane to the truly ineffable or inexplicable – still somewhat frustrating. Yet in this excellent exhibition deftly curated by Paul Snell it finally has value and real meaning.
The 43 artists in this exhibition are only broadly linked stylistically in their commitment to abstraction, but the overriding conceptual connection is that their art demands a commitment from the viewer to engage with the elemental nature of the work, to accept that it is what it is, no more and no less.
The plethora of terms which could be employed to theoretically ‘place’ these various works could include, minimalist, reductive, purist, non-objective, concrete, hard edge abstract, materialist, formless, retinal, abject…and the list goes on.
As soon as we get involved in the limitations of such defining, we move away from the artwork, or we push it away. As Susan Sontag has elucidated, we effectively kill it, neutralise it.
Laurien Renckens states of her work - ‘one loses oneself in them’. We find ourselves in a new world of ‘delayed observation’. ‘You have to surpass a threshold, to feel at home vis-à-vis this work.’ And this is essentially true in relation to all the work in Orbit. What is required is a willing submission. We often tend to look beyond the phenomenon of what is actually happening, what is actually there. We avoid the key confrontation which is actually one of submission to the, often ineffable, nature of the experience.
The curator states that the exhibition is an ‘invitation for contemplation and reflection, providing an escape from the daily narrative offering a gravitational pull to other thoughts, processes and ideas. In this way it forms a response to a time of social, political and emotional disruption’.
Entering into these works leaves space for a direct engagement with the phenomena which the works employ/evoke which can involve a transcendence as well as a visceral engagement with the pure essences and dynamics generated by the artist. These may often be defined as the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Artist Karyn Taylor provides a luminous exploration of contained space reflecting our unknowing of the physical world while Tomislav Nikolic utilises implied depth and advancement to create an active visual dynamic which is never entirely settled. Time is also a highly significant factor in this show - not just the time required for deep engagement but the time of production which is crucial in Nancy Constandelia’s work which may seem inconclusive and indirectly records the process itself.
Process and materiality are central to Orbit. While Khesin, Snoek, Pesce, de Mentis and Windisch engage the physical properties of their media directly, even to the extent of allowing the final form of the work to be determined by the way in which the material forms itself through the dynamics of gravity and accretion in some cases.
The dynamics of the artwork may operate in how they work within a frame or bounded area, from the powerful geometric abstraction of Liam Snootle or to the subtle ‘field’ versus ‘edge’ which is explored by Taylor, Craik, Alexander, Terburg, Keating, Boeker and others. Butterworth and Snell’s work crosses both of these territories incorporating a refined subtle surface backed by, or intruded into, by a raw accretion of disparate materials.
Refined, ‘cool’ constructed works (Wilkinson, Idiens, Parni, Thomson, Andrews and Renckens etc), are balanced by dynamic raw painterly engagements, (Holt, Hart) yet these two have a strong investment in what I refer to as the ‘field’/’edge’ dynamic.
The artists in this show demonstrate real confidence and a deep understanding of what a rich aesthetic experience is. The power is in the honesty and confidence with which these artists work, and the faith they have in the capacity of materials and pure formal engagement to resolve into something transcendent, thus, these works are entirely convincing, at a very pure sensory and intellectual level.

"Titled "BEHAPPY” this show brings together works by modern and contemporary artists from Alfa program that are especially impactful with their brilliant palettes and focus on perception.
Since last year, the world has experienced ideological con?icts and the impact and struggles brought about by a public health emergency. Many have begun to fall into dissatisfaction with contemporary reality and find the uncertain outlook for the future challenging. Under these circumstances, the show wishes to convey a much-needed uplifting spirit by engaging viewers with the mesmerising environment created by the presentation's aesthetics that are both vivacious and soothing as well as evoking hope."

To curate our new virtual group exhibition ART MATTERS 2, we have been looking for international visual artists via open call from 8-22 November. According to our specifications, 1 artwork with a net sales price of up to 2.000,- € could be submitted per artist. From all applications received, we finally selected 15.
On a daily basis at 6pm CET sharp from Sunday, 29/11 onwards, all 15 finalists will be presented one by one with their submitted work exclusively on galerie-biesenbach.de and our Instagram/Facebook accounts. The presentation of our Top 15 is rounded off by "Honourable Mentions" in our daily Instagram stories, in which we acknowledge the works of a selected number of artists who just missed the final cut.
On Monday, 14 December at 6pm the winner of our competition will be announced: He or she will be invited to participate in an exhibition in 2021 in our gallery rooms in Cologne.
We warmly invite you to regularly follow our ART MATTERS 2 group show here on our website, Instagram and Facebook.
