Eau De Virus | A solo exhibition by Orrible
21 November - 19 December 2021
Opening Sunday 21 November 2021 6.30 pm
————————————-
“ Magnificent realism, the piece of art of the year ”
“ Unfortunately this is the perfume of our times…fragrance of fear, distrust, disbelief, with traces of the end of the times”
“ Genius”
Secret Art Ltd is pleased to present the series Eau De Virus by 0rrible, a stencil artist based in the rolling hills of rural Devon–far away from London, Los Angeles, or Amsterdam where you may find his street art.
His latest pandemic-inspired "Eau De Virus" and "Infectious Luxury" pieces are an ingenious reinterpretation of Chanel's iconic No 19 Eau de Parfum. This has appeared around the streets of Shoreditch in East London, adorning doors and walls causing street art enthusiasts, bloggers, tourists, critics and archivists to all flock to take photos. Drawing on odorous themes of luxury consumerism and economic inequality, stencil art like this in London's gentrified Shoreditch alludes to another potentially more harmful virus–capitalism. 0rrible’s use of fluoro and high impact colours are inspired by pasted-up drum and bass rave posters of the late 90s and 00s.

ABOUT THE SHOW
UTOPIA VS. DYSTOPIA
Group exhibition
at Secret Art Gallery.
30 September – 25 October
28 Cheshire Street, Brick Lane, London E2 6EH
————————————
A selection of unique original artworks was created between 2020 and 2021, all of which share the need to tell the story of our time and find a key to communicate with our contemporaries. Many of these subjects have become popular with Londoners and tourists visiting the city.
Among the most representative artists of the London street art scene, we find on display works by Orrible, Anna Laurini, Qwert, Daddy Street Fox, Persp, DIMNT, Steve Mitchel, Subdude and many others.
————————————
Utopia or dystopia?
These are the two scenarios facing humanity at the moment.
On the one hand, a now global government that is becoming increasingly compact and a separate entity from the democracy of the people.
Health has become a public good that must be protected at all times and everywhere by the global super-government.
------------------------------------
The works on show are discounted by 10% from today until the end of the exhibition.

THE DEATH OF THE QUEEN
Group exhibition
at Secret Art Gallery.
August 29th – September 9th
Opening Sunday 29 August + Drawing performance by Yorgos
4 pm drawing performance.
28 Cheshire Street, Brick Lane, London E2 6EH
————————————
Secret Art London is pleased to present The Death Of The Queen, a group exhibition that brings together contemporary works by London and international street artists grappling with two popular British subjects; the death and the Queen.
The exhibition features unique artworks by artists such as Will Teather, Carrie Reichardt, Orrible, David Turner, Mister Edwards, Anna Laurini, Qwert, Yorgos, Seth Morley, Steve Mitchel, Marquis De Rabbit, Daddy Street Fox, Subdude, Hercules Wolftrap, Rx Skulls, Oddo, Dmint, Hello The Mushroom, Emanuela Montorro, Matteo Bosi, Fikri Amanda Abubakar and many others.
Opening Sunday 29 August with a drawing performance by Yorgos.
Yorgos born in Germany to Greek parents. Growing up alternatively in Germany and Greece, he finally chose England to complete a master in art and design. His multi-cultural upbringing, dark materialism, gender inequalities, fear, and uncertainty in our world in crisis has inspired his work on human complexity. The moral and emotional qualities of human beings are embodied and emerge through the movement of the body and its interaction with space. The bodies are naked, which enhances its distance from socially constructed views of class, distinction, beauty, and sexuality
THE LAST SUMMER EXHIBITION
Group exhibition

Wolftrap, Savntart, Subdude, Serg Nehaev, Filippo Peranzani, Will Ravara.
The exhibition brings together an array of impressive works made by contemporary artists based in studios and working on the streets from London and abroad and offers the opportunity to take home a work of contemporary art at a super affordable price.
You might consider the metaphor of the cricket in summer… For Plato, crickets are musicians reincarnated as insects: so strong is their passion for art that they even forget to feed themselves and end up dying while singing. While for Aesop, the insect whose incessant chirping we hear every summer in Italy represents the individual who has fun, plays and sings instead of working and is just the opposite of the industrious ant. And that is why, when winter comes, the cricket, or as we say, the cicada, has no food, no home and dies.
Have you gathered supplies to feed your passion for art this summer? This is your chance to stock up!

F**K F***BOOK
Group exhibition
at Secret Art Gallery.
01 - 30 July 2021
28 Cheshire Street, Brick Lane, London E2 6EH
————————————
Secret Art Ltd is pleased to present ‘F**K F***BOOK - Human VS. Algorithm’, a group show (26 June-27 July) showcasing work by emerging street artists addressing issues around censorship in the era of social media.
This exhibition brings together works by artists who enact an act of resistance towards censorship by social platforms: the naked female body, religion and the pandemic are some of the themes investigated here.
Efficient moderation of content on social platforms is both important and difficult. A number of issues arise around the volume of information, the often culturally sensitive and contextual nature of those posts, and the all-too-human nuances of communication. In an attempt to scale moderation, social platforms increasingly adopt automated approaches to suppress communications that are deemed undesirable, insensitive, or in fact offensive.
The artists presented here include the most notable names in the street art scene of London such as Carrie Reichardt, LUAP, Anna Laurini, Orrible as well as more emerging artists such as Persp, DMINTN, Qwert, Subdude, Daddy Street Fox, Seth Morley, Atomic Hercules Wolftrap, amongst others.

THE ALCHEMY OF THE HUMAN CONDITION
Solo Exhibition by Zin V.
at Secret Art Gallery.
04 - 20 June 2021
28 Cheshire Street, Brick Lane, London E2 6EH
Opening on the 4th of June at 5 PM.
————————————
Secret Art Ltd. secret art is pleased to introduce the work of ZIn V.
Zin Vaitiekunas is a London-based artist who started his creative journey as a child in his hometown of Druskininkai, Lithuania.
Zin V.'s style, clearly inspired by Picasso's Cubism, stems from a deep, unconscious fascination with form and symbolism. To give form to these metaphysical scenarios, full of pathos, Zin draws colours from his emotional experience and projects them into symbolic metaphysical imagery that confronts the spectator with a shared universal code.
His influences arise not only from artists such as Picasso, Dali and Basquiat but also from the people around him and his own life experiences. Zin sees his own art as the result of the unconscious mind and uses various symbols in a cubist style which gives room for peoples own interpretation. His work depicts raw and rough elements of living life in a city like London.

LIGHTING, FLASHES and THUNDERBOLTS

Artworks and music by Franca Sacchi
27 March - 6 April 2021
ONLINE & PRIVATE VIEW
27th of March at 17.30 Premier of the video Floating in beauty, 14’min , 2021
Online show available at this link
https://www.artsy.net/show/secret-art-ltd-lighting-flashes-and-thunderbolts-franca-sacchi
Painter, dancer, yoga teacher and multi-instrumentalist, among the very few women who dedicated themselves to experimental electronics in Italy between the '60s and '70s. Franca Sacchi is "an artist of behaviourist behaviour" as Umberto Eco defined her. An assistant at the first centre dedicated to electronic and electroacoustic research, the RAI Phonology Studio in Milan, although she was not on the official list of composers, here she met Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono and John Cage, among the atria. From 1966 to 1975 he worked essentially in the field of electronic and concrete music, creating compositions and organising conferences and debates. In 1968 he founded the Centro Ricerche Musica Elettronica in Milan and directed it until 1970. His artistic path is crossed by a complex interdisciplinary investigation, with dance and improvisation concerts, performances and numerous collaborations in the visual arts with artists (Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ugo La Pietra, Paolo Scheggi, Emilio Isgrò) and composers (Giuseppe Chiari, Giancarlo Cardini).
WE ARE NOT MADE OF PLASTIC + GLI SCOPPIATI
Solo Exhibition by Mariano Pieroni at Secret Art Gallery.
27 February - 23 March 2021
ONLINE & PRIVATE VIEW
Online show available at this link
https://www.artsy.net/show/secret-art-ltd-we-are-not-made-of-plastic-mariano-pieroni
————————————————————————————-
A selection of remarkable sculptures, paintings and collages realized by Mariano Pieroni from 1977 until 2021.
On display at Secret Art gallery, you can admire paintings from the series "Dimensionism", sculptures from the series "PLASTICONI" and collages from the recent series "Gli Scoppiati"
The large-format sculptures from the series " Plasticoni" are made using waste material produced in everyday life by a simple consumer. Plastic, aluminium, wood, tape and cardboard from the packaging of the products, that we know every day, are the material used by Mariano Pieroni to create the sculptures "Plasticoni".
Why PLASTICONI?
Because plastic is the biggest problem of pollution, which threatens to turn our planet into a landfill.
All this is so obvious and simple that it seems obvious. Few feel the urgency of having to deal with it personally.
The “Plasticoni” are perceived or interpreted as Pop-Art representations, but they are symbolic language that expresses a complex judgement, referring to “The Market” the current philosophical-social mercantile system.
The maximum of kitsch, with the pimply labels from which we are besieged at every hour of our day, is an indigestible and loud provocation, which, as time dilates, becomes history.
“If an individual goes along the banks of polluted streams to make garbage statues he doesn't do it lightheartedly. Evidently he thought about it; a small mental process, an idea, must have moved him. In the archive of the meetings during which Dimensionism was discussed, there are traces since 1987 of this brooding present in me as an expression of a load in my consciousness.”
"The presence, repeated and alternating of tragic visions of bony and dying children, of humanity, deprived of everything, suffering and abandoned beyond the political networks of the selfishness of the rich, rummaging through the garbage bins, in the landfills of consumer society opulent looking for something to stay alive, doesn't give me peace of mind. On the contrary, and I'd better say it, it's doing nothing that doesn't leave me serene. " Mariano Pieroni.
Mariano Pieroni was born in Barga (Lu) on 17 June 1937, lives and works in Solbiate Arno (Va). Ideologist of the "Dimensionism" movement, he was part of historical groups in the Lombard area: Liberi Artisti (LADPDV)
In the years between 1951 and 1966 he lived in Florence and attended the studies of Rosai, Grazzini, Conti, the Scuola Libera del Nudo at the Accademia di Belle Arti directed by Giorgio Settala, and in 1953-54 he attended the studio of Pietro Annigoni.
Since 1970 he has had more than 120 solo exhibitions in various Italian and foreign cities including Geneva, Paris, Hamburg, Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Rotterdam, New York, Boston and Atlantic City. There is an already vast and articulated bibliography: in addition to monographic works, there are publications of articles, reviews, presentations in important newspapers, various Italian and foreign magazines. He has executed public works including frescoes and sculptures, stained glass, ceramics, welded ironworks, numerous bronzes and works in plastic-polymer material.
His works can be found in museums in Europe and the United States.
The exhibition is open for visits and collections from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.

The exhibition REYNOLDS REDUX consists of a series of previously unseen works made between 2007 and 2020 by the artist David Turner. The artworks that make up the Reynolds Redux series are a digital photographic reinterpretation of classic paintings by the English painter Joshua Reynolds, portraitist of 18th century English nobility.
Reynolds' paintings are an obsession that has accompanied David Turner since the beginning of his career. Reynolds composed his works by emphasising details and placing his subjects in a perfectly balanced geometric composition. David Turner breaks into this process by altering and deconstructing the subjects to the point of transcending their very nature, removing attention to detail to project himself into a chaotic, obscure and contemporary world where new figures come to life from algorithms and digital computations balanced on the original composition.
After printing on fine art paper, the artist completes the work by intervening manually with acrylics, felt-tip pens and spray paint.
On show from 9 to 21 January are a series of unique artworks printed on fine art paper, signed and manipulated by hand by the artist.
David Turner FRSA is a renowned visual artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and public spaces on three continents, including most recently at the Florence Biennale. Upcoming exhibitions of his work include London, Tokyo and Barcelona. He is also a poet and playwright/screenwriter and is currently developing a series of interactive and VR projects. He is a member of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), a London-based 'creative think tank' founded in 1754.
The exhibition will be available from 9 to 29 January 2021 at Secret Art Gallery, 28 Cheshire Street, E2 6EH, London.
