You're Only Young Twice

Featuring

Jonathan Yeo

9th December 2011 - 21st January 2012

For his first UK show since 2008, Yeo makes a departure from his renowned portraits and collages to explore the fast-growing phenomenon of cosmetic surgery. Over the last 18 months, Yeo has been observing the work of leading cosmetic surgeons in the UK and US to produce a collection of work that uncovers the processes and results of pre and post-operative procedures on women.

Surprisingly gentle in his depiction, the artist shuns controversy in favour of the physical transformations and the black ink lines the surgeons draw directly onto the body prior to such operations. The result is a series of scientific images seen through a painter's eye which pose questions about our aspirations, vanities, the lengths we will go to in the pursuit of perfection, and the role of surgeons as 21st century sculptors of the physical form.

Fragments of Faile

Featuring

Faile

4th November 2011 - 3rd December 2011

Over the course of the past decade, FAILE developed an artistic practice inflected with remixes of mass culture, and built on careful juxtapositions of seeming dualities. Fragments of FAILE allows us to see them working at one frontier of their practice, stripping their painting down to its essentials and engaging a century of the more expressive terrain of abstract portraiture.

This suite of new works provides an intimate counterpart to FAILE’s recent large-scale explorations of religious motifs while drawing out less obvious threads in their practice, from subtle gradations of color and pattern to a conscious removal of clear identities in order to explore archetypical structures beneath.

Assembled from the artists’ own archive, Fragments of FAILE represents not a radical departure, but a rare opportunity to see their iconic practice anew.

Antony Micallef | Happy Deep Inside My Heart

Featuring

Antony Micallef

9th September 2011 - 22nd October 2011

Lazarides is delighted to welcome back Antony Micallef to the walls of our Rathbone Gallery with brand-spanking new solo exhibition, Happy, Deep Inside My Heart. Vibrantly colourful yet sometimes deeply troubling, Micallef’s canvases interweave social commentary with self-examination. Focussing on the contradiction inherent to mass-consumerism, Micallef's latest body of work satirizes the rampant social suspicion of multi-national brands while simultaneously being outwardly seduced by products and marketing.

Boxi | Time Of The Signs

Featuring

Boxi

29th July 2011 - 1st September 2011

Lazarides Gallery is proud to present the UK’s first exhibition of hyperrealist painter, Boxi. Utilising both the streets and gallery walls as his canvas, the artist is a master of the stencil turning away from their traditional anarchist use to challenge the norm through boldly heightened realistic figures. With fear and its manipulation as the underlying theme, his art channels a deeply disturbing voyeuristic experience for the viewer playing with spatial perception of the surrouding environment.

Ron English | Skin Deep: Post-Instinctual Afterthoughts On Psychological Portraiture

Featuring

Ron English

24th June 2011 - 23rd July 2011

Painter, Pundit and Prankster Ron English presents Skin Deep, an exploration of the intersections, discrepancies and synchronicities of personal mythologies on display in our public personas. The exhibition presents multi-layered portraits of some of his most iconic characters, tracing the arc of their inner lives.

Often using his children as models, English chronicles the soul’s sojourn through Pop dioramas of fear and appetite, aspiration and rage. While paying homage to the great art before him, English maintains his very personal point of view, transforming the public to intimate and the universal to specific.

Using a mixture of imagery, medium and process referenced from great masters such as Warhol, Pollock and Picasso, combined with irreverent cherry-picking of populist totems from fast food to cartoons, English creates complex running narratives of his many alter-egos butting headfirst into the Grand Illusion, where unstated cultural norms are exposed and analysed.

Sage Vaughn | Children Of A Lesser God

Featuring

Sage Vaughn

6th May 2011 - 11th June 2011

Lazarides Rathbone is delighted to announce the first UK solo exhibition by LA-based artist Sage Vaughn.

Children of a Lesser God furthers the artist's exploration into notions of control and release as well as the fundamental need for survival, love and liberty. Vaughn's new works manifest these concepts through bleak, dystopian cityscapes juxtaposed with child-like imagery and untouched scenes of nature.

Through the contrast of minutely detailed wildlife and child superheroes against urban backdrops, Vaughn's new body of work provides an eerily familiar setting that both comforting and and inspiring to his audience.

Featuring

Miranda Donovan

25th February 2011 - 26th March 2011

Lazarides Rathbone welcomes back Miranda Donovan for her second solo with the gallery, The Home Unleashed.

Departing from her recent fascination with the outside, Miranda graces the Rathbone gallery walls with 25 new works exploring the world of the interior. Donovan's multi-layered 3D canvases juxtapose the decadence of former opulent living with the squalor and filth found in the streets as she takes her signature miniaturized graffiti indoors.

Grifters show and website launch

Featuring
David Choe, Antony Micallef, Charlie Isoe, Conor Harrington, Faile, Invader, Jonathan Yeo, JR, Lucy McLauchlan, Mark Jenkins, Mode2, Paul Insect, Vhils, Kelsey Brookes and some special guests.
3rd December 2009 - 16th January 2010
To cap off the first year in the splendid surroundings of our new Rathbone Place gallery, Lazarides will be bringing some of the biggest names in street art to London for a spectacular group show where much of the art will be nowhere near the cosy confines of our glamorous gallery.

Titled Grifters, the December event will focus on all new work from the Outsider artists in all manner of mediums, from sculpture to installation, canvas to collage, paper to poster, performance to photography. Alongside the gallery offerings, a series of paintings and street sculptures will begin to pop up all over the City from the end of November right through December, so keep your eyes peeled (unless you work for the council, in which case we don’t know what you’re talking about, we’ve never heard of any of these artists, ever).

Those of you sharing a combined love of art and staying warm, worry not, for you’ll be relieved to hear that the Rathbone Place gallery will be turning up the heat in more ways than one, and handing over all four floors of the gallery to our Outsiders group of artists, with a special installation from Lucy McLauchlan covering the entire staircase.

The exhibitions, street interventions, and our brand new website launch will take place in our galleries at Lazarides 11 Rathbone Place, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 1HR, and SHOP at Lazarides 8 Greek Street, Soho, London, W1D 4DG, as well as out and about across the streets of London from 4th December until 16th January 2010.

You can see a video of some of our artists in action on our video channel at Babelgum.

We would like to thank Londonewcastle for supplying many of the 'street canvas' locations around London for our artists.

Special thanks to Robert Soning & Rohan Ames for all your help.

Conor Harrington

30th October 2009 - 26th November 2009
Lazarides is proud to present 'Headless Heroes' by Conor Harrington. Conor's last solo show in 2008 was a bold and beautiful visual feast and 'Headless Heroes' promises much more.

Continuing his exploration into masculinity and power, Conor's new paintings and drawings combine historical re-enactment, F1 pit-stops, text and glamour models. Conor's aim is to have the visual aesthetic of his paintings reflect the visual culture we live in.
Since he was a teenager painting on the streets of Cork, Conor has always tread a fine line between 'street art' and 'fine art', never aligning himself with a particular movement or aesthetic but instead pushing forward with his own unique representations of the world around him, creating works that are striking yet accessible.

I know we're biased, but his stuff is pretty good!

The show is open Monday-Friday 11-7pm and Saturday 12-5pm.

Antony Micallef

25th September 2009 - 22nd October 2009
Lazarides introduces Becoming Animal. Antony Micallef's first solo show since the sell out, 'Impure Idols' in LA three years ago.

Micallef has spent the last year working hard in his studio, developing his mark making and subject matter.
Becoming Animal is a sophisticated, smooth body of work. Simultaneously sickly sweet and sour. The work is as much about the act of painting as it is about animalistic tendencies that are innate to every human being.

This show has been greatly anticipated and won't disappoint.

The exhibition will run from 25th September - 22nd October.
