Pancho Malezanov - the exhibition 'Untitled' of the latest paintings by the artist.

Sergei Inkatov - the exhibition 'Alone With Time' of the latest paintings by the artist.

Sergei Inkatov is an Estonian artist of Armenian origin, known for his emotionally charged and symbolically rich abstract paintings. His work occupies a unique space between abstraction and symbolism, often blurring the boundary between the physical world and the inner realm of thought, memory and emotion.

 Inkatovˇs paintings are not purely formalist abstraction, they are emotional landscapes. “Alone With Time” presents a new body of work by Sergei Inkatov, whose abstract compositions explore the subtle emotional registers of time.  Rather than telling a story, Inkatov allows his viewers to pause and align themselves with time – not the mechanical time of calendars and clocks, but the interior time of feeling, memory and transformation. “Alone With Time” is not only an artistic reflection – it is a quiet resistance against speed, a gentle return to presence to very personal feelings.

Mel Smothers - the exhibition 'History Paintings' of the latest paintings by the artists.

“My creative subjects are inherited with the times and drawn from personal narratives and sources that span art history. They reflect my interest in philosophy and contemporary thought.”

“The influence on this series of paintings is the journal of French Academy painter Eugene Delacroix in 1850’s. In it, he expresses his frustration with our species’ need to build up democratic institutions and culture only to be destroyed by fear and ignorance again and again at the cost of human suffering." - Mel Smothers

Mel also exhibits at Art Lives Here, and Carter-Burden Gallery, New York City. Hay Hill Gallery, London. TAG Gallery Los Angeles.

Brian Martin Brooks - the exhibition 'New Abstracts' of the latest prints by the artist.

Brian Martin Brooks has been exhibiting internationally since the 1970s, with work featured in private and public collections across Europe, the USA, and Latin America. Renowned for his ability to translate the visual world onto a two-dimensional plane, Brooks combines an exceptional understanding of colour, perspective and pattern with a refined and elegant painting technique. – Basia Deptuch,Visual Arts Manager, Curator, and Exhibition Organizer, PA to Director of Tate Modern Gallery 

Brooks’ practice bridges realism and abstraction, shaped by his Bauhaus training at Pratt Institute in the early 1970s and his contributions to Andy Warhol’s Factory during the same period. Bauhaus principles, especially the work of Joseph Albers, influenced his mastery of colour and design, while his time at the Factory, working on projects like the Chairman Mao series, sparked a fascination with blending mechanical processes and human craftsmanship. 

Now incorporating digital processes into his pictorial practice, Brooks explores new ways to merge contemporary technology with traditional techniques. Since the 1990s, Brooks has embraced abstraction, exploring the dynamic interplay of shapes, colours, and lines. Inspired by figures like William Morris, Annie Albers, and Agnes Martin, his work celebrates imperfection and physicality. He draws a connection between abstraction and realism, likening the zoomed-in details of realistic art to abstract forms. 

Igor Tcholaria - the exhibition 'Nostalgie de la beauté' of the latest paintings and sculpture by the artist.

The Georgian artist Igor Tcholaria lived and worked in Belgium for many years. He collaborated with major galleries in Belgium, Holland, England, Luxembourg, and the United States of America. He participated in dozens of general and personal exhibitions around the world.

The work of the Georgian artist is characterized by a combination of an ultra-modern approach to painting with a deep understanding of the techniques and traditions of old European masters. The motifs of the French avant-garde and impressionist artists of the early twentieth century are not alien to him.

Igor Tcholaria attaches great importance to the preliminary processing of the canvas. The pictorial layers of the lining often represent independent works of abstract painting in the spirit of Cezanne's layers, Pollack's multi-vector tricks, and Rothko's warm and mysterious halftones. Thanks to this work, a kind of artist's know-how, Tcholaria's canvases live, breathe and supply the owner with positive energy, so necessary for a human being in our turbulent and difficult times.

True avant-garde is archaic - Tcholaria claims. It is not for nothing that Pablo Picasso turned to prehistoric examples of cave paintings in search of forms.

Igor Tcholaria also adheres to the glorious tradition. In his improvisations, he masterfully maintains a high note of inspiring nostalgia. No matter how sophisticated the inventors of various concepts are, painting is the result of an impressive combination of forms and colours. Let us not forget that having created a world of incredible complexity, the Lord laconically limited himself to two words of commentary.

IT IS GOOD - said God.
