THE MEETING | DOUBLE SOLO EXHIBITION
18 FEBRUARY 2023
Dorothy Circus Gallery Rome is pleased to bring back on its stage two prominent artists, Jeffrey Chong Wang and his wife, Grace Eunshin Kim. The exhibition explores the osmotic exchange between the languages of the hyper-contemporary, reconnecting with the elements of a classical painting belonging to European culture. Both Jeffrey's cinematographic compositions and Grace's playfully dynamic scenarios engage us in reference to the European masters from Lucas Cranach The Elder, René Magritte, to Bathus through a new body of works suspended between past and future in which the only contemporary element is the human feeling making us equal and close. Involving the public's emotions, the artists leave the role of final perception to the attentive gaze of their much-loved muse: Humanity.
SAMSON BAKARE | SOLO EXHIBITION
9 MARCH 2023
Opening the 2023 exhibition program will be a solo exhibition by Nigerian painter and sculptor Samson Bakare, who debuts at DCG London with a brand new collection of African male and female portraits painted on canvas and one of a kind sculptures. The exhibition, opening to the public on the 9th of March 2023, brings the theme of Art as a Time machine on stage; just as looking at the works by Bakare, we go through a vertical time: connected by the memory of the past, the construction of the present, peeking into the future, all from the same vantage point. Guided by the empathic googly eyes of the artist, we are accompanied by a reading of his roots. In his works, we become the authors of a new writing of the contemporary Black Culture figuration, not only across the affirmation and legitimation of Black Community, again outrageously victims of injustices, but we also become an active part of the elevation of the same in Art. The protagonists of the colorful canvases of Bakare, represented in regal posture, are the statement of our century who finds its social dignity in returning to the Black Community the position in the future it deserves.
BECAUSE | GROUP SHOW
18 MARCH 2023
With the exhibition "Because", in Italian "Perché Si", DCG presents a brand new group of Artists that, with their innovative language and personal research of an independent figuration, fill the absence of a specific iconography: the hypermodern rebellion and its free representation in contemporary art. On stage for the first time at DCG Rome, the artists: Damien Cifelli, Jamima Sara, Maria Ves, Qhua Ma Nande, Leonardo Nola, Max Scognamiglio, Indra Dan, Torto Lawrence, Giulio Secondo, Olasunkanmi…
The Core Mission of this exhibition is the firm answer to social oppression, bigotry and hypocrisy and to consumers’ slavery, which takes the side for social equality, the freedom of love between two individuals, and the free affirmation of the self.
YOKOTEEN | SOLO SHOW

DCG London is proud to present to its public the new collaboration with Yokoteen, a self thaught Japanese painter with amazing pictorial rendering ability. His artworks have become recognized worldwide with the series entitled Friends in Paradise, a visual tale reflecting the principle mission of the artist to send messages of peace, happiness and freedom. Across summer landscapes characterized by the suggestive shades of aquamarine that recall fresh and transparent water, the artist shares a story dedicated to beauty and to the simplicity of the purest values, such as friendship and solidarity. By using the element of water Yokoteen allows us to feel close to each other, inviting us to rediscover the connection between water, life, birth and rebirth, convicting everyone in a precious spiritual symbology.
