Alyina Zaidi at Alexander Berggruen, NY, 2024. Courtesy of the artist and Alexander Berggruen, NY. Alyina Zaidi (b. 1995, New Delhi, India) holds an MA in painting from the Royal College Of Art, London and a BA from Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY; Newchild Gallery, Antwerp, BE; Indigo + Madder Gallery, London, UK; Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London, UK; and White Cube, London, UK, among others. Zaidi is a London-based artist from New Delhi and Srinagar. This is Zaidi’s first solo show with the gallery, following her inclusion in the gallery’s group show Katja Farin, Maria Farrar, Esme Hodsoll, Alyina Zaidi (March 1-April 5, 2023). In Lost in the belly of a whale, Zaidi establishes stronger narrative threads with more action than her previous work. Here, nomadic white strawberries attempt to herd their goats and are at war with imperial frogs. In the top left register of Facts and hearsay—an encyclopaedia of various natural and less natural phenomena, these frogs steal the moon. Angels purchase Moons for sale and, in Dubious benediction, guard pickle jars of frogs and moons. On occasion, the unreliable nature of history emerges where portions of the composition are swallowed by dark orbs Zaidi calls “the cave of the unknown.” These nebulous scenes offer a mode of abstraction for the artist and indicate that there is more to learn about this universe. Further embracing reality-warping unknowns, Zaidi’s paintings are filled with magic and mythology. As in previous work by the artist, cherry tomatoes and radishes become spirits, angels with opulent tentacled wings populate most paintings, chilis hang to ward off the evil eye, and rituals are performed around the moon for luck. New supernatural elements in this body of work include poltergeists who lurk in windows and sacred trees. In Zaidi’s painting Euphemia and the assassin, she alludes to a version of the story of Saint Euphemia’s martyrdom in which she was thrown into an arena with lions meant to kill her. In the Islamic tradition of indirect representation, rather than painting Euphemia as a person, Zaidi paints her as a bejeweled textile surrounded by lacy fabric. In a playful rendition of the tale, here, Euphemia is cradled in a hammock of lions’ tails. Alyina Zaidi, Perfumed veils and gauzy tails, 2024, acrylic on canvas, 16 x 16 in. (40.6 x 40.6 cm.).

Interviews by Brainard Carey
Paula Siebr a is a Brazilian painter born in Fortaleza, Ceará, in 1998. The artist focuses on images related to everyday life and scenes of intimacy using Brazilian northeastern culture as her starting point. Her paintings emerge from the exploration of established themes such as portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. These motifs, throughout her research, acquire a peculiar aspect: a certain simplification in the contours, added to a reduction in the contrast between chromatic tones, polarizing reality, and reverie – as if the artist were daydreaming about ordinary life. In addition to following a straightforward continuum from tradition, her paintings relate to an inherent visualness of her native land of Ceará and the Brazilian Northeast as a whole. She is particularly close to folk art since her interests encompass the synthetic form of clay objects, laces, and other textile works such as crochet and embroidery, as well as the geometric and colorful architectural features of traditional houses. Surrounding villages, household objects, and anonymous faces are elements of the landscape in which the artist is immersed, appearing as if clothed by a light mist that covers everything – alternately concealing or revealing them. Her recent solo exhibitions include As primeiras coisas [The earliest things] , Mendes Wood DM, New York (2024); Cristalino Segredo , Mendes Wood DM, Brussels (2023); Noites de cetim , Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2022); Lembrança de algum lugar , Sobrado Dr. José Lourenço, Fortaleza (2022); O Soar das Horas , Nieuwe Gentweg 21, Bruges (2023) and Arrebol , Mendes Wood DM, New York (2021). Additionally her work has been including in group exhibitions such as Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato en conversation avec Lucas Arruda, Sanam Khatibi, Patricia Leite, Paula Siebra, Marcos Siqueira, Erika Verzutti et Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro , Mendes Wood DM, Paris (2024); 74º Salão de Abril , Centro Cultural Casa do Barão de Camocim, Fortaleza (2023); Arte Laguna Prize Exhibition , Arsenale di Venezia, Venice (2023); Close , Grimm Gallery, London (2023); A Gauzy Flame , Herald St, London (2023); Pequenas pinturas II , auroras, São Paulo (2022); My reflection of you , The Perimeter, London (2022); Corpo Ancestral – 21ª UNIFOR Plástica , Universidade de Fortaleza, Fortaleza (2022); Male Nudes: a salon from 1800 to 2021 , Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo (2022).

Bernd Zimmer, born in Planegg in 1948, was a co-initiator of the Berlin Galerie am Moritzplatz, founded in 1977, and is a representative of “Heftige Malerei”. He studied philosophy and religious studies at the Free University of Berlin from 1973. His often large-format paintings initially focused on nature in deliberate contrast to the big city of Berlin. After a two-year stay in Rome, where he received a scholarship from the Villa Massimo, Bernd Zimmer has lived and worked in Polling in Upper Bavaria since 1984. Impressions from travel, nature, literature and philosophy are echoed in Zimmer's colorful works, as is his examination of the natural sciences and the cosmos, to which all forms of existence ultimately belong.

Elise Engler’s art ranges from the personal to the political, to various combinations of those elements. Her work consists of meticulous, highly pictorial drawings and paintings that capture and document the material world in all its myriad details. Her projects are large in scope, but often intimate in format, and are a narrative investigation of the world seen through its innumerable, but countable, individual components, assembled in suites and series of works. Engler has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in drawing, and an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant in painting. She has been the recipient of two MacDowell residencies, a Yaddo fellowship and a fellowship at Civatella Ranieri, In Umbria, Italy. She spent 2 months in Antarctica as an awardee of a National Science Foundation Antarctica Artists and Writers Grant. Her work has been written about in Art in America, The New Yorker, and The New York Times, among other publications, and she has shown in galleries across the U.S. and in Europe. Her project, A Year on Broadway, was featured on CBS Sunday Morning. Her book, A Diary of the Plague Year: An Illustrated Chronicle of 2020, Metropolitan Books/ Henry Holt/ MacMillan) was published in 2022. Engler lives and works in New York City.

Interviews by Brainard Carey
Anne Brandhøj with the interactive sculptures she created for Designmuseum Danmark, which are permanently installed in the museum's garden. Anne Brandhøj is a Danish artist and designer whose practice centers around sustainability. From sourcing and harvesting timber to drying, processing, and finishing each piece by hand, her distinct designs take form around the natural irregularities of each length of wood. Its grain, knots, splits, and coloration guide her decisions and remain as elements of the final work. Rather than imposing her creative ideas on the material, Brandhøj works with the chance variations offered by nature, allowing her to incorporate offcuts that might otherwise end up as waste. Their unique textures and patterning are highlighted, polished into delicate eddies and currents that reveal the innate beauty of the material, whether made from oakwood, walnut, Douglas fir, cherry, or beech. In addition to her playful functional objects, she creates large-scale sculptures whose undulating vertical forms reiterate abstract motifs as though materializing the movement of sound—its waves, ripples, and echoes. “I die a little bit inside every time I see furniture with a smooth surface where you cannot see any structure, any knot, anything at all,” says Brandhøj. “It’s a shame when there is so much beauty in the wood to show.” Brandhøj received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in furniture design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She is a founding partner of Bly Studio, and currently serves as a teaching assistant at The Royal Academy. Brandhøj has exhibited throughout Denmark and internationally. In 2022, she was commissioned by Designmuseum Danmark to create a permanent sculptural installation for the museum, in collaboration with the Kay Bojesen Foundation.
