Spain and the Hispanic World, 21st January – 10th April 2023, The Royal Academy of Arts, London
For the first time in the UK, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library, founded in 1904, is displaying over 150 of their works at London’s Royal Academy.

Visitors will see a range of artistic mediums being exhibited, including paintings, sculptures, jewellery, textiles and ceramics, to list a few. In addition, objects from the Hispanic Society will also be on show, including manuscripts and rare books – certainly providing a well-rounded depiction of Spanish culture across a vast range of artistic mediums.
Perhaps the most notable item in this exhibition is Vespucci’s ‘World Map’ (1526), believed to have been a gift to Charles V upon his marriage to Isabella of Portugal. This map was hugely significant in marking areas of Spanish conquest in America and will be held in great stead during its time at the Royal Academy.

Rinko Kawauchi, A Retrospective, until 4th May 2023, Christophe Guye Galerie, Zurich, Switzerland
Rinko Kawauchi’s third retrospective exhibition at Zurich’s Christophe Guye Galerie opened in November 2022 and will remain on display until May 2022, and much like her previous retrospectives, this is one you won’t want to miss.
Rinko Kawauchi’s third retrospective exhibition at Zurich’s Christophe Guye Galerie opened in November 2022 and will remain on display until May 2022, and much like her previous retrospectives, this is one you won’t want to miss.
Displaying work from her eight different series, as well as a varied range of her print work, Kawauchi’s work is a photographic expression of nature and the beauty surrounding everyday life. Whilst on the surface, the objects and surroundings may be relatively mundane and lacking creative qualities, Kawauchi’s remarkable photographic eye transforms them into a transfixing point of focus, provoking thoughts surrounding how delicate nature can prove to be.
This specific display includes Kawauchi’s newest collection, ‘M/E’ – a shorthand abbreviation referring to Mother Nature, including momentous images of Icelandic volcanoes, which are starkly contrasted by the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wassily Kandinsky and the Avant-Garde, until 21st February 2023, Candiani Cultural Center, Venice
The abstract and avant-garde will travel to Venice’s Candiani Cultural Centre, having already been presented in a smaller exhibition at the Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art in Monfalcone. On display are the wealth of artworks purchased by the City of Venice throughout many Biennales, as well as donations from artists and private owners.
The pieces on display act as a timeline for the progression of the avant-garde and the genius of Wassily Kandinsky, including abstract and surrealist art, highlighting his experimentation and cultural change. A huge emphasis is placed upon Kandinsky’s use of colour, including his well-known ‘Three Triangles’ (1938) drawing amongst a vast array of his other notable works. The work of Kandinsky is accompanied by a selection of additional artists, highlighting the scope of his art and the notion of the avant-garde.

Every Kind of Wind: Calder and the 21st Century, until 28th January 2023, Nahmad Contemporary, Madison Avenue, New York
Having been the inventor of the mobile over a century ago, Nahmad Contemporary are opening their doors to exploration and expression, including some of Calder’s most early wire and mobile sculptures, both in hanging and standing form.
Having grabbed the attention in the sculpture scene through his three-dimensional wire figures, Calder was iconoclastic, transforming the art of sculpting and paving the way for his predecessors and the art form as a whole. It’s not just Calder’s work on show at this exhibition, but works of accompanying artists inspired by his work, with an emphasis upon his scope of influence.
This proves to be a thought-provoking series of artistic instalments, reflecting both Calder’s progressive approach in response to the social and political landscape of the 20th century (predominantly the 1920’s and 30’s), but also forces us to consider the contemporary influences of today, as demonstrated by some of the modern pieces on display, created by the five international artists, inspired by Calder, and translating his approaches to sculpture to respond to modern day affairs.
London Art Biennale, 26th – 30th July 2023, Chelsea Old Town Hall, London
With over 300 artists’ work on display, the 2023 London Art Biennale promises to celebrate contemporary art, whether it be through upcoming or established talents. Held at the historic Chelsea Old Town Hall, artists are faced with the possibility of winning awards for their work, which is thoroughly curated to ensure all visitors enjoy a high-quality experience from a large realm of artists and artistic styles.
Moscow-based artist Svetlana, who places emphasis upon man in the space of the modern world throughout her work, has been selected to create the cover for the submission of works for the 2023 Biennale. Having completed an extensive artistic education and winning a selection of awards and honourable mentions, Svetlana is no stranger to presenting her work on a big stage, as demonstrated by her participation in the London Biennale last year.
