"In recent months, we have set up a new home, with lots of art." - read our interview with art collector Andrew Jovic.

ARTCOLLECTORNEWS is delighted to present Jonathon Downing, the first winner of our monthly open call. This 26-year-old painter from Detroit, Michigan, despite his young age, already boasts an impressive track record of international exhibitions. He speaks wholeheartedly about his upbringing, inspiration, 'bag of tricks,' as well as his favorite and most challenging pieces to date.

In collaboration with The Bomb Factory Art Foundation we are pleased to present Deus Ex Machina, a group exhibition that delves into the fundamental issues of human agency, social absurdism, and contemporary notions of ‘divine’ intervention. The exhibition will be on view from 15th June to 9th of July in our Marylebone gallery space.

April arrives with the melodious chirping of birds, stirring excitement for the summer holidays already planned, and Venice gearing up for its biennial extravaganza. Devoting just a monthly recommendation to this would be sacrilege. Instead, let's focus on a feast sweeping across Europe this month and lasting until September, offering a plethora of orgasmic exhibitions.

With less than a week until the press reviews and a 10-day countdown to the inauguration of the 2024 Biennale,the art world's spotlight converges on Adriano Pedrosa and the 332 artists poised to define the contemporary art landscape at the Giardini and the Arsenale. With a keen eye for capturing the essence of our times, Pedrosa's curated exhibition for the 60th iteration of this prestigious event is a testament to the global currents of migration and the vibrant tapestry of queer and indigenous voices.
