As in the human heart so in nature – beauty and the divine are often revealed in the gifts of imperfection. This is the limitless creative space in which Lana Trzebinski’s inspiration in nature’s geometric patterns and forms intertwines with the infinite possibilities of artistic accident to create unique organic ceramic sculptures.

A selling exhibition by award-winning filmmaker and artist Charlotte Colbert, curated by Simon de Pury. New small and large-scale sculptures were on display, accompanied by sound collaboration with celebrated film composer, Isobel Waller-Bridge.

de PURY Presents Gianluca Pacchioni - a new exhibition of sculptural works by Milan-based artist Gianluca Pacchioni running from November 7th - December 18th.

de PURY Presents a new exhibition of sculptural works by Milan-based artist Gianluca Pacchioni. On display are 15 sculptures that capture Pacchioni’s experimental approach to traditional craftsmanship and the evolution of his practice over three decades. Gianluca Pacchioni will be available to view at the artist’s nature-filled studio in Milan, by appointment only, and online at de-Pury.com from November 7 - December 18th, with all works for sale. 

Over 26 works were on display for the first time, including paintings, drawings, sketches, and wood-carved sculptures that reflect on the psychological nature and art historical context of self-portraiture. The exhibition ran from October 3 - November 6, with all works for sale. All of the works are still available for viewing here.

Each artist was invited to participate by offering an artwork of their choice that has been created no earlier than 2019. In doing so, the exhibition spotlights and celebrates the work of women artists that have been created during the recent turbulent times.

Including portraits of notable figures such as Kate Moss, Virgil Abloh, Damien Hirst, Gerhard Richter, and Naomi Campbell to name a few.

Corbijn’s style of photography gives a raw edge to his subjects, capturing imperfection and personality by shooting with a slow shutter speed to capture gestures and movement in a unique way. Starting in the late 20th century, his style of producing black and white photos using grainy film became an important part of our visual culture, and is a technique that has been widely utilised since. 

In this new body of works which interrogates the male gaze and societal pressures of being a woman, Vanessa Beecroft introduced classical sculpture and paintings as an extension of her performance and video art. 

Hudson's work takes contemporary portraiture into the digital realm. Capturing the sitters through photography and drawing their portrait on the iPad, the final work was then UV flatbed printed onto an array of materials.

The exhibition featured approximately 69 studio pieces, many of which have been exhibited around the world, including at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa), New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London; and the Royal Academy of Arts, London.

de PURY curated 'Helmut Newton 100' a solo exhibition commemorating 100 years since Helmut Newton’s birth (1920-2004) culminating at the Helmut Newton Foundation, Berlin on 31st October 2020. The hundred images selected for this exhibition open a window into the world of an artist whose images of strong, empowered and self-confident women are more poignant than ever.
