4me4you features - 'Fruitful Lands'.
Artist: Colette LaVette 
4me4you recently experienced a captivating visit to the Gillian Jason Gallery, featuring the remarkable artist Colette LaVette.
In her latest series titled 'Fruitful Lands', Colette LaVette intricately weaves a tale of a mystical realm where utopia and dystopia intertwine, offering a lyrical depiction of human nature. Drawing inspiration from the Rococo aesthetic, LaVette's art is characterised by elaborate ornamentation, a delicate chromatic palette, and a penchant for the fantastical. However, beneath the surface allure of romanticism and opulence lies a deeper exploration of the primal essence of humanity, free from societal constraints.
LaVette delves into humanity's origins, exploring our innate animalistic and carnal qualities before societal norms took hold. Her subjects, unlike those typically seen in Rococo art, defy static portrayal, existing fluidly within their surroundings, inviting viewers into intimate, spontaneous moments frozen in time. Through intuitive, expressionist strokes, LaVette's paintings continually unveil new layers, prompting viewers to embark on a visceral introspection.
The artist's choice of materials further enhances the connection to nature and human history. Mixing linseed and lavender oil with natural pigments like ochres, lapis lazuli, and iron oxides, LaVette creates a palette that resonates with the human eye, echoing the muted tones of the natural world. These pigments, reminiscent of those used in prehistoric cave paintings, evoke contemplation on the evolution of art and society, bridging the gap between past and present.
Deliberately chosen subjects, such as young figures symbolising inner children and felines representing humanity's dual nature, serve as metaphorical anchors, prompting viewers to reflect on their primal instincts and connection to the natural world. Through her art, LaVette challenges us to reconsider our relationship with societal norms, encouraging a reconnection with our primal selves and a deeper understanding of our shared human experience across time.

4me4you features:   The Hidden Giant of the 'Golden Circle'
Artist: Neil Stoke
Introducing Neil Stokoe: The Hidden Giant of the 'Golden Circle'
Neil Stokoe, often regarded as the hidden giant within the esteemed 'Golden Circle' of the Royal College of Art, stood among illustrious contemporaries such as David Hockney, Frank Bowling, R.B. Kitaj, Allen Jones, and Patrick Caulfield. Despite the urging of his close friend Francis Bacon to showcase his paintings, Stokoe shied away from the vibrant art scene of 1960s London, leading to his relative obscurity today. It wasn't until his retirement in 2002 that Stokoe unveiled any of his work, having lived a solitary, reclusive life dedicated to intensive studio work in his west London residence, devoid of any desire for public exhibition.
Now, featuring paintings from his estate, some never before displayed, the exhibition offered an insight into the essence and evolution of Stokoe's art across decades. His invigorating style transcends time, with many pieces reflecting the psychologically charged interior spaces emblematic of the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by architect Richard Meier, Stokoe's lush oil-on-canvas depictions of interiors captivate viewers. His later works from the 1980s and 1990s venture into experimental realms, featuring gestural paintwork and the bold, sharp hues reminiscent of Pop Art, as evidenced in the piece 'Spiral Staircase with Two Figures'. Echoes of earlier themes persist, influenced by his exploration of landscape architecture in his formative years.
Neil Stokoe’s son reflecting on his father's legacy, remarked, "Neil crafted a distinctive body of figurative painting, nurtured within the Royal College of Art's familiar milieu but cultivated in relative darkness, obscurity, and isolation from prevailing trends. This allowed him to maintain a high level of quality control over his work and shielded him from superficial art world trends. Only posthumously is his work beginning to receive the acknowledgment and acclaim it deserves."

4me4you features the artist Santiago Parra- ‘Spark of Fire’.
Artist: Santiago Parra
Recently, 4me4you had the privilege of immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of JD Malat Gallery, where the spotlight shone on the remarkable artist Santiago Parra.
Entitled "Spark of Fire," the exhibition serves as a testament to Parra's evolving artistic journey, presenting a captivating array of monochromatic paintings alongside his foray into a novel mode of expression.
Parra, driven by a desire to encapsulate intuition, emotion, and raw feeling within his art, eschews rationality in favour of a deeply instinctual approach. Each brushstroke, unfettered by conscious thought, breathes life into the canvas, inviting viewers to delve into a world shaped by pure creative impulse.
In the hands of an artist, ostensibly lifeless objects—a can of paint, a blank canvas, a paintbrush—spring to life, converging harmoniously to compose captivating works of art. The exhibition's title, "Spark of Fire," draws a poignant parallel to mythological narratives, evoking the transformative power of energy in awakening inert matter. Just as Prometheus breathed life into clay sculptures and bestowed upon humanity the divine gift of fire, Parra infuses his compositions with a vitality that transcends their material origins.
Within the confines of "Spark of Fire," each painting serves as a vessel for the retelling of primordial tales, inviting viewers to traverse landscapes imbued with the ebb and flow of nature's forces. From the tumultuous depths of the ocean to the dynamic interplay of form and movement, Parra's works encapsulate the essence of creation's genesis.
With an uninhibited flourish, Parra unleashes a torrent of creative energy onto vast canvases, his technique ranging from cascading torrents of paint to frenetic, calligraphic brushstrokes. The resulting series stands as a testament to the artist's boundless creativity and unrestrained expression, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of discovery through the boundless realm of artistic possibility.

4me4you features the artist Natalie Terenzini - ‘Final weekend’.
Artist: Natalie Terenzini
4me4you recently had the pleasure of experiencing the captivating exhibition at PM/AM Gallery featuring the talented artist Natalie Terenzini. At the heart of her showcased body of work lies a couple, elegantly depicted within richly toned interior settings. Departing from her previous focus on singular female figures, often resembling herself, Natalie's portrayal of this duo delves deeply into themes of romance and intimacy.
Through the canvas, Terenzini masterfully constructs scenes where outside elements, such as a glowing moon and distant stars, interact with the interior space. An arched window serves as the threshold between the external world and the intimate setting within. The moon, partially obscured by clouds, casts its ethereal glow into the room, creating a palpable atmosphere that transcends mere visual representation.
Terenzini's artistic prowess shines through in her bold and vibrant paintings, which skillfully capture the essence of human connection and emotion. These elements form the foundation of her work, seamlessly blending the tangible with the ephemeral.
In her piece titled "Afterglow," the interior space is inhabited by the intertwined figures of the couple, suggesting a romantic entanglement. Yet, beneath the surface of intimacy lies a complexity of emotions, hinting at concealed narratives and unspoken tensions. Through this portrayal, Terenzini challenges conventional depictions of love, reminding viewers of the quieter, more contemplative aspects of relationships.
Unlike her previous works featuring solitary figures, this series marks Terenzini's exploration into dual subjects. Each painting showcases the same couple in various settings, drawing inspiration from the artist's own life experiences. Symbolic objects scattered throughout the scenes imbue them with a sense of history and lived reality.
While Terenzini's paintings exhibit fantastical elements, such as exaggerated colors and elongated forms, they paradoxically convey a heightened sense of realism and accessibility. These surreal elements serve to amplify the emotional intensity of the depicted moments, juxtaposed against the mundane backdrop of everyday life.
Through her art, Terenzini invites viewers to contemplate the profound nature of human connection, transcending the superficial trappings of drama and excitement. In doing so, she crafts a nuanced portrayal of romance that is both enduring and authentic.
