Valentino Cortázar and Daisy Dodd-Noble: Dialogues

1 May - 28 Jun 2025 LAMB LAMB Gallery is pleased to announce Valentino Cortázar and Daisy Dodd-Noble: Dialogues.

Dialogues is an annual exhibition series presented by LAMB Gallery, dedicated to bringing together two artists whose practices offer distinct yet complementary perspectives. Now in its second iteration, the exhibition joins Colombian painter Valentino Cortázar (b. 1949) and British painter Daisy Dodd-Noble (b. 1989), both of whose surreal approaches reimagine the art historical tradition of landscape painting. Through the pairings in Dialogues, LAMB Gallery aims to explore shared affinities across generations and geographies, creating space for new connections between artists, ideas, and viewers, while fostering fresh interpretations through the harmonious encounters that emerge in the gallery space.

Cortázar’s artistic journey began at the age of eighteen, when he left Colombia to embark on a series of global travels. During this time, he absorbed the technical language of the art institutions in London, Paris, and Madrid, while developing a deep appreciation for the rich visual quality of the Mediterranean, learning from the vibrant landscapes of Greece and Spain. Returning to Colombia, Cortázar applied his new knowledge with a keen eye for his homeland’s natural beauty as he depicted the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the sandbars of Barú. His paintings transcend literal representation, merging time and memory through an ethereal interplay of light and color. “You are brave and have freedom in your hands,” Salvador Dalí once told him– a sentiment that encapsulates the vitality and joy within Cortázar’s spirited approach to painting.

Dodd-Noble crafts compositions that conjure an otherworldly quality, capturing landscapes that feel both desolate and untouched. Her caricatured forms of nature are animated by a sense of wonder and a distinctly playful colour palette. Though rooted in the rural scenes of her native United Kingdom, Dodd-Noble’s practice is increasingly shaped by her travels. The works featured in Dialogues depict places she has been drawn to for their luminous light and abundant plant life, which includes Santa Teresa, Costa Rica; Ibiza, Spain; and Sintra, Portugal. Across these dreamlike compositions, she depicts cypress trees, banana plants, palm trees, pines, and bougainvillea, inviting viewers into her deeply observed vision of the natural world.

The landscapes of Cortázar and Dodd-Noble transcend cultures, painted from various locations and contexts, yet evoking universal sensations of quiet observation and a poignant appreciation of nature's beauty. Their works offer a dreamlike, almost fantastical utopia, particularly resonant in an era marked by dramatic environmental change, where the desire for escapism remains a prominent theme. Cortázar and Dodd-Noble have never met, yet their works appear to speak intuitively to one another, unified by a reverence for the natural world and an instinct for translating its imagery into something that speaks across boundaries.

Harriet Gillett: This Must Be the Place

5 - 28 Sep 2024 LAMB We are pleased to announce our upcoming solo exhibition with the British artist Harriet Gillett. The show, titled ‘This Must Be The Place’, opens at LAMB Gallery on 5th September.

‘The exhibition title is taken from the talking heads song of the same name. Like the songs performed in their tour film ‘stop making sense’ which I saw last year, my paintings centralise around themes of belonging, home and finding a sense of identity within a large and busy place: in my case, London.’ - Harriet Gillett Read more

Woodworks

Matt Ager, Alvaro Barrington, Anderson Borba, Alexandre da Cunha, Fiza Ghauri, Daiga Grantina, Ana Mazzei, Giorgio van Meerwijk, Louise Nevelson, Ben Nicholson, Fernando Otero, Taygoara Schiavinoto, Emma Sheehy, Orfeo Tagiuri, Joe Tilson, Antoine Wagner a 18 Jan - 2 Mar 2024 LAMB LAMB Gallery is pleased to present ‘Woodworks’, a group exhibition exploring the use of wood in contemporary art through the work of 17 artists that engage with the material across the mediums of painting, sculpture and installation. Drawing inspiration from art history, religion and nature, the artists in the exhibition use wood as both surface and subject matter, harnessing its qualities in ways that are as traditional as they are unconventional.

Upon entering the gallery, we encounter Joe Tilson’s 1982 piece, ‘Proscemi for Kore.’ Tilson stood as a prominent figure in the British Pop Art movement. Drawing from his background as a carpenter and joiner, Tilson crafted wooden reliefs and constructions throughout his career. Often characterised by vibrant colours, these works typically underscore his fascination with language, puzzle creation, and symbolism as well as his mastery as a woodworker.

Moving through the exhibition, we are presented with Edmund de Waal’s 2020 painting, ‘Elegie.’ This piece is part of a series motivated by the writings of poet Rainer Maria Rilke, a constant inspiration for the artist. ‘Elegie’ marks one of de Waal’s initial ventures into utilising porcelain in liquid form, skilfully applied onto a wood panel layered with gold leaf. The wooden panel plays a vital role for de Waal in these series, becoming the support for the artist’s signature use of porcelain.

Whilst de Waal uses wood as support structure, the material becomes the very subject matter in Giorgio van Meerjwik’s 2023 work ‘Roadside apparition’. The artist considers ideas of human-plant relationship, folklore, medicine and symbolism- erecting a delicate, relic-like tree within the gallery space.

Alvaro Barrington and Anderson Borba approach the use of wood in a much more raw and organic manner. In his 2021 work ‘Jamaica’, Barrington tightly encloses the painting in a prominent wooden frame, adding a sculptural quality to the work. Similarly sculptural in his practice, Borba carves, scratches and cuts into thick cuts of wood producing reliefs of tactile, bodily quality.

Raising questions about representation and spirituality, the exhibition presents a survey of how contemporary artists have continuously worked with wood in unorthodox ways to convey different narratives, questions and meanings. By including a diverse cast of artists from different generations, nationalities, and backgrounds, the exhibition aims to highlight the breath of the gallery’s programme and ethos.

Artists include: Matt Ager, Alvaro Barrington, Anderson Borba, Alexandre da Cunha, Fiza Ghauri, Daiga Grantina, Ana Mazzei, Giorgio van Meerwijk, Louise Nevelson, Ben Nicholson, Fernando Otero, Taygoara Schiavinoto, Emma Sheehy, Orfeo Tagiuri, Joe Tilson, Antoine Wagner and Edmund de Waal.

Whispers from the South

Luísa Brandelli, Talles Lopes, Heloisa Hariadne, Pedro Neves, Noara Quintana, Joelington Rios, Ayla Tavares and Hal Wildson. 5 Oct - 5 Nov 2023 LAMB LAMB Gallery is pleased to present “Whispers from the South”, a group exhibition in collaboration with Instituto Inclusartiz, curated by Lucas Albuquerque. The exhibition aims to explore how contemporary Brazilian artists rethink visual culture through a critical examination of their own history and confront the notion of subalternity.

“Whispers from the South”, presents a cross-section of contemporary Brazilian art production, bringing together eight artists from different regions of Brazil. The artists in the show all share a common dialogue that challenges the cultural complexity which moulds the country. Driven by their common desire of cultural identity investigation, the selected artists question the historical setbacks embedded in Brazilian history through the mediums of painting, drawing, photography, embroidery, and sculpture. Their poetic gestures poignantly illustrate how reverberations from the past influence the present and illuminate new challenges in South America.

Ayla Tavares’s practice (Rio de Janeiro) explores the intricate relationship between craftsmanship and the layers of time it evokes. By the use of clay and coal, Tavares investigates archaeological artefacts, architecture and objects we handle on a daily basis to think about memory and common life. In her drawing practice, she covers the entire canvas with patterns resembling land and sea, emphasising their archaeological connection with ceramics. Earthenware has been repeatedly discovered on archaeological expeditions throughout history; thus, the artist delves into the notion of ceramics as the “eternal object.”

Interested in the traces of colonisation in the Brazilian Amazon, Noara Quintana (Florianópolis) engages with the lingering influence of European decorative arts that were widely imported to the North of Brazil during the early 19th century. She reimagines these contradictions through a tropical Belle Époque, aiming to destabilise a colonial legacy through an affirmative and diverse portrayal of Amazonian botany. In her series “Serpentine Traces,” the artist subverts the wallpapers and ironwork made popular in the arts and crafts movement with a tropical imaginary, seeking narratives that call into question the connections between Britain and the Amazon at the end of the Victorian period.

Luisa Brandelli (Porto Alegre) also appreciates the influence of decorativeness in her work. However, her practice develops with a more abstract aesthetic. The artist frequently utilises commonplace materials such as fabric, cloth, yarn, sequins, and beads to craft substantial objects in a pictorial way. By employing sewing techniques often associated with the “feminine,” Brandelli challenges traditional gender roles in art production. She explores the dichotomy between “high” art and craftsmanship, and the distinction between valuable and ordinary materials.

Talles Lopes’ (Goiás) work focuses on the dynamics of subservience and exploitation from a geopolitical perspective. He employs infographics typically used in geographical surveys as tools to expose the nation’s history of exploitation. In his piece titled “Universal Language for Local Erasures,” the artist superimposes four different maps originally produced by the Brazilian geographic and statistical institution, IBGE, during the tenure of the 21st president, Juscelino Kubitschek (1956 - 1961). This map provides a window into the ongoing disparities resulting from political and economic developmentalism projects that continue to leave their mark on the country even today.

Hal Wildson (Goiás), also born in Brazil’s central-west region, advocates for a rebellious movement that reclaims national symbols, which the extreme right-wing has appropriated in recent years. This movement aims to envision a “Re-Utopya” project, emphasising the integration of ancestral knowledge and caring practices. In his latest series, the artist employs well-known books from the 1950s to 1980s that discuss utopia, Brazilian identity, and the nation’s development. Through this, he reconstructs new interpretations of the past, envisioning it as fertile ground for shaping a better future.

In northeastern Brazil, Pedro Neves (Maranhão) engages in a pictorial exploration where abstraction and figuration blend into a symbolic realm. In this sphere, the body, everyday objects, botanical life, and clothing immerse the viewer in the richness of Afro-Brazilian cultural practices. The presented painting is part of an ongoing series in which the artist paints his mother’s dreams. Untitled refers to a dream in which two women talk about her son (the artist). In the work, Neves tenderly represents himself as a potted plant, following the oneiric image described by his mother.

Similarly, focusing on ancestry, Heloisa Hariadne’s practice is characterised by vibrant colours that beckon the viewer into an introspective journey surrounded by elements from nature like botanical life and wild animals. Her works seek to intertwine painting and poetry, crafting a composition that reflects the aspirations of a new generation in Brazil. By merging different natural objects into fluid forms, Hariadne creates a
soft and intimate portrait where her continuous inner investigation becomes the ground where she moves between the abstract and the
figurative.

By presenting the human body within a politically fragile context, Joellington Rios, a native of a quilombo community in Maranhão, utilises photography to envision new frameworks for the black body. This involves portraying it beyond a punitive condition, showcasing its glory and strength. In the series “What Sustains Rio,” individuals from marginalised communities are depicted as the foundation of the entire state, simultaneously representing the central image of a postcard that transcends time and space.

In featuring these eight artists, all supported by the non-profit organisation Instituto Inclusartiz, “Whispers from the South” discusses Brazil’s colonial past and reimagines the present, highlighting local cultures and their ties to the global South. Each of these works echoes political and aesthetic discussions from a country located 9,000 km away, hinting at an ongoing revolution within the realm of visual arts—acting as seismographs of their time and heralding turmoil ahead.

Alma Berrow: Echo

5 - 28 Oct 2023 LAMB LAMB Gallery is pleased to present ‘Echo’, a new installation of ceramic work by British artist Alma Berrow opening 5th October 2023.

With playfulness and humour at the heart of her practice, Berrow’s meticulously hand-moulded ceramic objects transport us to moments of nostalgic familiarity, creating vignettes inspired by everyday life, human interaction, and shared experience. Growing up in a one-bathroom cottage with her mother and two sisters, the shared bathroom was always full of life, a place for daydream and wild imagination: from elaborate gowns made from towels and deep-sea diving in the bath, to mimicking the daily rituals of older siblings or parents.

At first glance, Berrow’s new work appears to be a functional, run-of-the-mill bathroom installed within the gallery space. Viewers are invited to physically step into the work, and on closer inspection, minute details are revealed to suggest that the room has been recently inhabited. Ceramic toothbrushes, open pill boxes, towers of empty loo roll, a pile of dirty mags and pube-covered soap, half-smoked cigarettes in ashtrays, and an abandoned backgammon reanimate the seemingly static space. Berrow reminds us that the bathroom is a space where the unimaginable becomes possible, adorning an uncanny bathtub with large surrealist-like hands, taps shaped like noses and a plughole disguised as a mouth. These ornate bathroom fixtures give the impression of nymphs caught mid-play, evoking notions of escapism, joy and coming of age. As Berrow elaborates:

“I use a lot of my own memories in my work, so many of the objects are odes to my own upbringing. What I wanted to do with this installation is capture what this very intimate, usually shared space means to the many. From watching a parent shave and mimicking them to becoming an adult and shaving, hiding at parties, standing naked in front of the mirror, sneaking cigarettes out the window, the loo that doesn’t flush, your first period...there is something very vulnerable about a bathroom. The bathroom is very clean and unaged, with black and white checked floor, I want to make it as ubiquitous as possible. It’s a playground of action and nostalgia, dark and light. Hopefully something for everyone to relate to, shock or giggle at.”

Often inspired by intimate day-to-day experiences from her formative years, Berrow’s nostalgic and sometimes uncanny artistic vocabulary is inextricably linked to personal memory. From an intimate standpoint, she explores the aesthetics of the surreal through the reconstruction of her family bathroom combining ready-made objects with her highly detailed ceramic works, which she refers to as ‘fake-real’ objects. This installation encompasses Berrow’s ability to transform ordinary objects into art pieces that are both humorous and other-worldly beautiful, inviting us to revisit our own memories through these site-specific, ceramic pieces.

Still Life / Still Living

Group exhibition featuring: Pippa El-Kadhi Brown, Alma Berrow, Clara Hastrup, Marina Woisky, Maria Livman, Bruno Moutinho, Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato, Anderson Borba, Alexandre da Cunha, Fernando Marques Penteado and Tiago Mestre. 25 Mar - 1 Apr 2023 LAMB LAMB Gallery and PALMA are pleased to present "Still Life/Still Living," an exhibition that invites viewers to witness an unconventional gathering of sculptures seated around a table, as if they were dinner guests.
The sculptures on display have been created by various artists from diverse cultural and aesthetic backgrounds, yet they share a common space in the exhibition, engaging in unexpected and intriguing conversations. Each piece is carefully placed around or near the table to create a harmonious yet unpredictable arrangement, much like the interactions between real-life dinner guests.

By creating this dynamic living environment, the exhibition explores the concept of still life in contemporary art, pushing beyond our traditional perceptions of the genre, which typically feature inanimate objects arranged in a static composition.

Featuring emerging artists Pippa El-Kadhi Brown (b. 1996), Alma Berrow (b.1992) Clara Hastrup (b.1990), Marina Woisky (b. 1997), Maria Livman and Bruno Moutinho as well as established artists Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900 - 1995), Anderson Borba (b. 1972), Alexandre da Cunha, (b. 1969) Fernando Marques Penteado (b. 1955) and Tiago Mestre (b. 1975), the exhibition reflects LAMB Gallery’s ethos to encourage and develop curatorial dialogues between multi-generational artists from Latin America and Britain.

Departing from modern and contemporary pictorial traditions, they all create a unique visual language that originates from their own engagement with different cosmologies, art histories, procedures, and techniques. Therefore, what binds together this heterogeneous group of artists is both the idea of painting (understood as ‘in the expanded field’) and the singular way in which the works sit uncomfortably in relation to the so-called established Western art canons.
