Artfilm was proud to produce this video for Saatchi Yates to promote the Allez La France! group show at their Cork Street gallery.
featuring works by Jin Angdoo, Mathieu Julien, Hams Klemens, and Kevin Pinsembert. Taking its title from fans’ chants for the French national football team, the exhibition brings together the work of these four painters to consider the legacy of the painting tradition in France. The show presents new large-scale works and marks the first time these artists will be shown together in a gallery space.
Anastasia Von Seibold Japanese Art
Edo to Now
Artfilm created a bespoke gallery video and stills for Anastasia Von Seibold Japanese Art to promote her recent exhibition; Edo to Now: 400 years of Japanese Art
The exhibition brings together a selection of fine Japanese art from the Edo period (1615-1868) to the present day.
A highlight of the exhibition is the masterpiece by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), Rainstorm Beneath the Summit, a woodblock print from the iconic series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Further woodblock prints by artists Utagawa Hiroshige, Utagawa Kunisada and Totoya Hokkei are included, along with a pair of silver-leaf folding screens depicting pine trees by Uenaka Chokusai (1885-1977), and a group of intricate Edo and Meiji Period lacquer boxes, inro and netsuke from the Ankarcrona collection.
Bárbara Alegre | Dancing in the Sky, Waiting for the Sunset
Artfilm had the great pleasure of photographing the first UK solo exhibition by Spanish artist Bárbara Alegre for Ionne and Mann Gallery.
For this series of paintings, predominantly works on paper, Alegre used the make-up and brushes her mother left behind. What started initially as an attempt to keep her close and a way to process the unassimilable void, gradually evolved into a symbolic exploration of what "makes up" who we are, our beliefs, and the links to the world around us.
Alegre approaches the subject with authenticity and grace, making no demands for resolution or redemption. Following a path through grief, loss, love, acceptance and hope, this poignant body of work is a celebration of life, affirming an all-encompassing sense of connection, gratitude, presence and belonging; a tribute to those who walked before us, those who walk beside us and, ultimately, ourselves.
The gallery images and portrait of the artist were taken at Cromwell Place, a first-of-its-kind exhibition and working space for galleries, dealers, collectors and art professionals seeking a presence in central London.
