A new journey

This virtual gallery presents the latest additions from the Artgal Zim Center in 2026—a carefully curated selection of contemporary Zimbabwean sculpture and painting. Each work reflects a dialogue between tradition and experimentation, material and meaning. Together, they offer collectors and viewers an intimate encounter with artists shaping Zimbabwe’s evolving visual language.

Contemporary Currents | Artgal.Online

Spotlighting innovative mediums and processes in California modernism, this show features works that push beyond traditional canvas— from Peter Voulkos' bronze sculpture reviving Bay Area casting at Garbanzo Works to James Melchert's tile abstractions. Drawing on UC Berkeley and Art Institute influences (e.g., Felix Ruvolo's students like Mark di Suvero), these pieces explore tactility and experimentation, with provenances like Richard Ayer's SFMOMA labels. Ideal for collectors interested in the material boldness of 1940s–1980s art, bridging 2D mixed media to 3D forms for a hands-on narrative of creative evolution.

Material Innovations: Experiments in Form

This exhibition delves into the raw, introspective power of Bay Area Abstract Expressionism in the post-WWII era, showcasing non-representational works that explore form, texture, and emotional depth. Drawing from influences like Mark Rothko at the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA), these pieces reflect the region's shift toward bold, gestural abstraction amid cultural upheaval. Highlights include Edward Corbett's subtle casein studies and Robert McChesney's enamel-and-sand textures, with provenances from SFMOMA and Whitney Museum underscoring their institutional significance. Ideal for collectors seeking the energetic core of mid-century modernism.

Abstract Energies: Post-War Abstractions

This collection frames Asia as a continent of layered human and environmental life, where the intensity of daily life meets enduring beauty. Generations interact with traditions, and societies adapt while carrying the weight of history. Light, atmosphere, and the contours of place inform and reflect life, giving the continent a richness that is visual, social, and cultural at once. Asia is alive in its density, its subtle elegance, and the persistence of its systems of life, producing a depth and texture that is uniquely its own.

Its vitality and character emerge from the continuity of life and the adaptability of its people. The beauty of Asia is inseparable from the care of human presence and the resilience of its surroundings.

Landscape of Becoming is a virtual solo exhibition by Christiaan van Ruyven, presenting a body of paintings in which landscape is not depicted, but felt. Rather than representing a specific place, these works open a space of transformation — an inner terrain shaped by colour, memory, movement and atmosphere.

Christiaan's paintings emerge through an intuitive and layered process. Gestures are built up, erased, repeated and reworked, allowing forms to appear and dissolve over time. What unfolds is not a fixed image, but a continuous state of becoming. The paintings resist closure: they hover between emergence and disappearance, between structure and flow.

Colour plays a central role in this process. It functions not as surface decoration, but as an active force that shapes space and perception. Deep blues suggest depth and inwardness, reds carry intensity and tension, while lighter tones introduce breath and openness. Colours collide, overlap and recede, creating rhythmic compositions

Landscape of Becoming

This exhibition celebrates the Bay Area's regional identity through evocative landscapes and urban scenes, reflecting themes of migration, internment, and environmental change in California modernism. From Emiko Nakano's post-internment Alcatraz view to Erle Loran's gouache San Francisco Bay, these works capture the West Coast's natural and built horizons. Bios add depth, like Emmy Lou Packard's activism with Diego Rivera or Joseph Strong's historical Monterey commissions. Perfect for buyers drawn to the luminous watercolors and oils that evoke 1930s–1970s transformations, blending serenity with social commentary.

California Vistas: Landscapes and Scenes

Exploring the human form amid modernism's figurative revival, this show highlights portraits and figures that capture identity, labor, and personal stories in the Bay Area scene. From Joan Brown's monumental enamel horse as a symbol of introspection to Jean Halpert-Ryden's casein worker evoking social realism, these works foreground women artists and diverse narratives—such as Gerrie Gutmann's surreal explorations of loss and Mary Curtis Richardson's prize-winning florals. Bios reveal intimate connections, like Victor Duena's Beat-era ties via Henry Lenoir, offering collectors a window into the emotional and cultural undercurrents of 1950s–1970s California art.

La Galería Digital de Martha Chapa es un espacio virtual que reúne su obra más representativa, celebrando más de cinco décadas de trayectoria artística. Un recorrido por su universo de color, simbolismo y emoción, donde la manzana, la feminidad y la identidad se convierten en protagonistas.

Manzana vigilada

The sky is both constant and vast, a presence that touches all our lives. Though our paths may diverge and our experiences differ, we all share this expanse above us, a common horizon that reminds us of our connection to one another. Its changing light, the movement of clouds, and the stars at night are simple yet powerful reminders that, despite distance or difference, we inhabit the same world.

To look upward is to pause and reflect, to recognise both our individuality and our shared humanity. The sky quietly affirms that, wherever we are, we are connected by something larger than ourselves, a common space that belongs to us all.

Our Sky

This exhibit is a collection of 104 carefully selected works representing my last 10 years of creating paintings. Despite the wide range in subject matter, the paintings have the following things in common: vibrant color, striking composition and (of course) lightheartedness.

Paintings: A Selection From The Last 10 Years

This collection explores quiet moments of connection, movement, and inner change.
The artworks focus on transitions — pauses before action, closeness before certainty, and the courage found in staying present.

The cold is absolute, pressing against perception with weight. Colour takes on a fragile, spectral quality, light slows, and forms hover between presence and disappearance. Within this stillness, a gravity bends thought and feeling. The chill cannot be resisted; it moves through us as easily as through the world, touching the landscape and the mind alike, hinting at the sharpness of emotion, the quiet of distance, and the power of winter itself.

To dwell in the cold is to feel its currents, to witness the ordinary transformed into something luminous, strange, and profoundly alive. It is a reminder that cold is everywhere, in frost, in light, in muted hues, and in the spaces within ourselves.

Color Discipline zeigt Malerei von Viola Florschuetz ART als konsequente Farbwelten: Jedes Werk entsteht in einem dominanten Ton, gebaut über Tonwerte, Kanten und einen klaren Fokuspunkt. Reduktion wird zur Präsenz – ikonische Motive treffen auf rhythmische Texturfelder. Die Ausstellung ist bereits geöffnet und wächst fortlaufend; weitere Werke ergänzen die Serie.

Hinweis: Die Werke sind in der virtuellen Ausstellung teils vergrößert dargestellt. Maßangaben in den Werktexten beziehen sich auf die Originale.

Color Discipline presents Viola Florschuetz ART’s paintings as disciplined color worlds: each piece is driven by one dominant hue, shaped through values, edges, and one clear focal point. Reduction becomes presence—iconic motifs meet rhythmic textured fields. The show is open and will keep expanding; more works will be added.

Note: Works may appear enlarged in the virtual exhibition. All dimensions in the labels refer to the original artworks.

„…und es gab ihn tatsächlich, den Winter in Stuttgart! Wie Fotos des 1923 gegründeten Bildarchivs der Württembergischen Bildstelle – unserer Vorgängerinstitution – belegen, lag die Landeshauptstadt jahrzehntelang regelmäßig, Winter für Winter, unter einer dicken Schneedecke.
Diese kleine Ausstellung lädt zu einem historischen Rundgang durch mehrere Jahrzehnte ein und zeigt vertraute Motive im winterlichen Gewand. Ohne feste Route oder thematische Klammer wurden die Bilder allein wegen ihrer Atmosphäre und ihres Motivs ausgewählt.
Entstanden ist so ein kurzer Spaziergang durch die schönsten verschneiten Ecken der Stadt: ein stiller, leicht nostalgischer Blick zurück in vergangene Zeiten.
In der Ausstellung sind Bilder aus dem 20. Jahrhundert von Otto Kutter, Hans Schwenkel, Robert Bothner, Dieter Jaeger, Albrecht Brugger und Sven Grenzemann zu sehen.
