Curated by Luca Lo Pinto, the exhibition revisits 1975+27, the work de Dominicis presented on 31 January 1975 during 24 ore su 24, the week-long exhibition conceived by Fabio Sargentini at Galleria L’Attico.

Cyrus Mahboubian‘s first solo exhibition Reflections will open at The Paddocks Gallery in Volos, Greece on 14 March. Developed during a residency in the region, the works draw on daily walks through the landscape at the foothills of Mount Pelion, and will be shown alongside recent photographic composites made in England and the Scottish Highlands. Bringing these geographies into dialogue, the exhibition seeks to reflect Mahboubian’s slow, process-driven approach, where walking, observation and image-making converge into a continuous visual language. Curated by Lida Koutromanou, the exhibition will be accompanied by a special limited-edition publication of only 30 copies. Reflections follows...

The solo marks the latest chapter in the artist’s long and rigorous investigation into the metaphysics of image and form. Conceived specifically for the museum’s sequence of galleries, the presentation unfolds as a single installation composed of forty-two paintings, forming what the artist describes as a continuous visual cycle.

Piero Tomassoni and Dima Srouji participated in the 6th Kochi-Muziris Biennale, curated by Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces. For this edition, titled For the time being, they were invited to conceive two collaborative spatial installations: an outdoor project for the historic Aspinwall House, and an indoor site-specific one for the KVJ Rice Godown, a heritage building repurposed for the first time as an exhibition venue.

In this iteration they experimented with small-scale architecture through several ‘watchhouses’ installed in the...

Last month we had the pleasure of inaugurating YARD, a large room within The Long Now. Saatchi Gallery at 40, the institution’s 40th anniversary exhibition.  YARD is curated by Philippa Adams and Piero Tomassoni around the eponymous installation by American artist Allan Kaprow, placed in dialogue with monumental works by major British artists Conrad Shawcross and Christopher Le Brun. Originally conceived in 1961 in New York, Kaprow’s Yard is a seminal moment in the history of contemporary art and a turning point in the field of spatial and participatory practices. Since then, the work has been exhibited and reinvented numerous...

Artvisor is thrilled to announce Paul Huxley. An Anthology at Cardi Gallery, London, 15 October – 29 November. Curated by Piero Tomassoni, the exhibition surveys six decades of the artist’s practice, tracing the evolution of a language that bridges geometry, colour, and spatial rhythm. A central figure among the ‘New Generation’ of British artists who emerged in the early 1960s, Huxley has devoted his career to exploring the possibilities of geometric abstraction as both a formal language and a field of intellectual discovery. Operating in a postmodernist tradition, his paintings challenge and expand on the legacy of early twentieth-century abstraction by...

Artvisor and Bianca Arte are pleased to present The Marvellous, a solo exhibition of Hormazd Narielwalla at Buccellati’s Mayfair private rooms from 14 October to 14 November 2025. The practice of Hormazd Narielwalla (b.1979, India) works by invocation rather than illustration. Initially trained in Fashion Design before obtaining his PhD in Fine Art, Narielwalla builds patterns and figures from historical sewing templates: sleeves fold into laps, joined panels imply seats, and the voids between cut pieces trace an absent body. Rooted in an interest in identity and cross-cultural aesthetics, his work treats these fragments as repositories of personal and collective...
