Since the late 1990s, Ruffo’s practice has examined some of the most pressing social matters of our time, from the legacy of European colonialism and imperialism to the migrant crisis of the past two decades. The Planetary Garden continues Ruffo’s ongoing exploration of humankind’s relationship to the natural world, and of the impact of human activities upon the climate. 

Kiki Smith's exhibition at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill presents new bodies of work, including some of the most complex bronze sculptures of the artist's career. Over the past three decades Smith has explored the philosophical, social and spiritual aspects of human existence through her profound and meditative works. 

The exhibition spans the full breadth of Giorgio Griffa’s practice, bringing together highlights from the artist’s three major bodies of work: his minimal canvases of the 70s; his large gestural works from the 80s; and his lively rhythmic paintings from the last decade inspired by modernist poetry and avant-garde music.  

Richard Long (Bristol, 1945) is one of the most prominent artists of a generation that revolutionized sculptural practice in the 1970s. By the simple act of walking in the landscape, he combined aspects of minimalism, conceptualism and Arte Povera as a way to articulate ideas about time, space and man’s relationship to nature.

British painter Celia Hempton presents a solo exhibition featuring landscapes made from life on the volcanic island of Stromboli, recent nudes and paintings made from live video streams of hacked surveillance cameras.

Galleria Lorcan O’Neill presents Landscapes and Waterfalls, the first solo exhibition by British artist David Dawson at the gallery in Rome. The twelve large landscape paintings on view are part of an ongoing body of work that Dawson paints en plein air in his home country in Montgomeryshire, Mid Wales. Initially painted outdoors during each season of the year, the artist continues to work on them in his London studio to then complete them back in the countryside.

Galleria Lorcan O’Neill presents an exhibition of seven new monumental paintings of islands by the German artist Anselm Kiefer. Symbolizing isolation, exploration, and the human desire for connection, the theme of islands has long fascinated Kiefer. The artist examines these concepts by drawing inspiration from various mythologies, literature, philosophy, and his own personal experiences. 

The third solo exhibition of Matvey Levenstein at Galleria Lorcan O'Neill opens on Friday 24 November 2017. Levenstein is known to the public for his soft-focus paintings of still lifes and church interiors based on photographs he took in Italy in the early 2000s

Giorgio Griffa (Turin, 1936) is one of the most radical and articulate artists of the avant-garde working in Italy today. This exhibition, entirely of work from the past year, displays an astonishing burst of creative and intellectual energy that has produced a series of paintings on unstretched canvas unified by references to the Golden Mean (Canone Aureo).

Abstract painter Giorgio Griffa, closely linked to the Arte Povera movement, first became known in the 1960s as part of an Italian generation of artists who sought to radically redefine painting. At the age of 81, Griffa continues to make work in his studio in Turin. This exhibition at the Camden Arts Cenre in London spans the breadth of the artist’s practice, incorporating works from the 1960s through to today.
