DCG Contemporary opens its 2026 program with its first participation in the London Art Fair, bringing together visionary works by Clementine de Chabaneix, Andrey Remnev, Joe Sorren, Jonathan Viner, Kukula, and Elen Bezhen. Across this constellation of contemporary masters, the paintings inhabit the “aftertime”—a delicate space between memory and imagination, where moments linger and transform into something else entirely. Here, the canvases find their home not in the concrete world of facts and surfaces, but in the architecture of daydreams and fantasies. They emerge as ghostly “fantasma” presences, inhabiting the threshold between what has happened and what might have been. Figures arise from layered surfaces and ornamental worlds, their gazes turned inward or outward toward something just beyond perception. Each painting lays the groundwork for a parallel universe where reality blends seamlessly with dreams, where each image becomes a seed planted in the fertile soil of contemplation, growing into forms that belong neither fully to waking life nor to sleep. Within this liminal space, the works invite viewers to pause, reflect, and traverse the intricate boundary between memory, imagination, and the uncharted possibilities of perception.
