Cris Contini Contemporary Gallery
Tue - Sat 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Sun and Mon by appointment
Cris Contini Contemporary is delighted to announce the opening of their new London Gallery with VIVID, a solo exhibition of new paintings by British artist, Mark James. Founded in 2018 by Cristian Contini and Fulvio Granocchia, Cris Contini Contemporary has offices in Milan and Brussels, as well as their new exhibition space in the heart of London’s Notting Hill.
Best known for FREEZE (1993) the first TV documentary about Damien Hirst and the YBA generation, James originally trained at Goldsmiths and has continued to pursue painting alongside creating numerous critically acclaimed TV and feature documentaries on music and the arts. James now divides his time between film making and painting and the exhibition at Cris Contini is his debut solo exhibition.
Photography, architecture, music, colour and movement are all part of the fundamental DNA of James’ practice, conjuring joyful and dynamic spaces of colour, light and movement. Described by Waldemar Januszczak, the Art Critic of The Sunday Times as “Pop Suprematism”, James’ paintings are structured to create juxtapositions of shape, space and colour, evoking a mid-century aesthetic of modernism and a kind of future set in the past.
