In reference to this number’s link to freedom symbology we dedicate to our 2023 the program in which the freedom of expression triumphs, the topic which forces us, curators, to carry forward our research more than ever and to be once again pioneers of avant-gard, of the art of change and truth.
SNOW IN THE SUMMER BY RYOKO KANETA | solo show
14 JUNE 2023
On display for the first time at Dorothy Circus in a debut at our London venue is painter Ryoko Kaneta with a brand new series representative of her works taking inspiration from ancient Japanese philosophies. In the exhibition's artworks, Kaneta elaborates on the themes dear to her artistic research by celebrating nature as a generating force and simultaneously offering a starting point for reflection on the fragility of its balance. In the new series, the surreal landscapes are populated by characters searching for harmony between the human being and its land, intent on a playful but careful interaction with the forests, the sea and the mountains, as sacred and recurring element of the art of Kaneta while involved in a continuous transformation caused by drastic climatic phenomena.

SCOTT MUSGROVE | FOCUS SHOW
6 JULY 2023
DCG London is excited to announce the London debut of American artist Scott Musgrove, known for his attention to present-day environmental issues, combined with a unique sense of humor. In his new solo exhibition, Musgrove aims to awaken our deep spirit to handle urgent global issues that affect humanity at all levels. Musgrove's surreal universe explores the idea of eternity that surpasses the dangers of time, and his strange and awkward creatures attempt to stay in the observer's memory. For Musgrove, the extinction of memory is the true death, the final passage of no return. He uses fantastic and dreamy images to preserve our primeval heritage and help pass it to future generations. This extraordinary exhibition will challenge the viewers with a unique idea of eternity in which we are all linked through Art.
