Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present Phantom Limb, an exhibition featuring five artists whose works operate between figuration and abstraction.

The artists explore constructions of personal narrative, specific moments of cultural upheaval, the complexity of human psychology, and the physicality of the body itself. read more...
Robert Montgomery: Poetry in Light
at Madison Gallery
La Jolla, CA, USA
Aug 06, 16 - Oct 02, 16
Madison Gallery proudly presents new work by Scottish artist and poet, Robert Montgomery. Following the tradition of conceptual art, Montgomery creates thoughtprovoking sculptures out of LED lights and text. With these works, he addresses all-encompassing, universal themes such as power, love, and human kindness in electric light—or, dramatically, even fire. These poems affirm his philosophical beliefs, as he categorizes them as “melancholic post-Situationist,” and his personal connection for British-Celtic traditions of the mystical lands as written by W. read more...

Linda Brothwell: The Missing
at The Holburne Museum
Bath, UK
Aug 06, 16 - Jan 02, 17
In a new commission On the Table, this pioneer of contemporary British craft skills will create a playground of textures and colours in stone, wood and metalwork in response to the most intricate works in the Holburne Museum’s collection. In a dramatic exploration of materials, Brothwell’s work will be displayed alongside the elaborate carved wooden, gilt bronze and hardstone plinths on which Sir William Holburne displayed his porcelain and bronzes. Many of Holburne’s plinths were separated from their objects in the 20th century, leaving an alluring and eclectic collection of empty mounts. read more...
Karen Black
at Sutton Gallery
Fitzroy, Australia
Aug 06, 16 - Sep 03, 16
Karen Black's recognisable oil on marine ply paintings hover somewhere between figuration and abstraction. Swathes of vivid colour surround obscured figures veiled in drips and splashes of paint. Her subjects fuse the historical with the mythical and the political with the personal as she examines tales of separation, isolation, loss and violence. Black captures emotive expression with a raw mark or gestural brush stroke with impressive prowess. read more...
