2026 AGENDA
The number 2026 carries powerful symbolism, marking the start of a new cycle. In this year, the energies of renewal, initiative, and bold vision converge, calling for fresh creation, meaningful connection, and the courage to redefine direction. This dynamic blend encourages us to honor past legacies while embracing transformation and exploring new perspectives.
 
DCG Contemporary’s 2026 program begins with its first participation in the London Art Fair, bringing together contemporary masters such as Clementine de Chabaneix, Andrey Remnev, Joe Sorren, Jonathan Viner, Kukula, and Elen Bezhen. Each painting creates a parallel world where reality blends seamlessly with dreams, planting seeds in the fertile ground of contemplation and inviting reflection on the boundaries between waking life and imagination.
 
Soon after the London Art Fair, we present the first solo exhibition by Elen Bezhen at DCG London, a figurative painter from the North Caucasus whose work explores the delicate dialogue between humanity and nature, with a focus on the feminine form. Drawing on her classical training in Moscow and inspired by Northern Renaissance masters, Bezhen merges meticulous technique with contemporary sensibility.
 
As February comes to a close, March brings the highly anticipated exhibition by master painter Fatima Ronquillo, whose classically inspired imagery inhabits a space between serenity and enchantment. Her mysterious figures, often set against pastoral landscapes, blend European Old Master techniques with magical realism drawn from folk and colonial Latin American traditions.
 
March also introduces a new voice to DCG Contemporary with the work of Daniel B. Dias, expanding the gallery’s dialogue between emerging perspectives and established masters, and further reflecting the year’s energy of renewal, exploration, and creative emergence.

LONDON ART FAIR | GROUP EXHIBITION

21-25 JANURAY 2026

 

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.

ELEN BEZHEN | SOLO EXHIBITION

FEBRUARY 2026

 

DCG London is pleased to present Elen Bezhen, a figurative painter from the North Caucasus whose work explores the delicate dialogue between nature and humanity, with a particular focus on the feminine form. Drawing on her classical training in Moscow and inspired by Northern Renaissance masters, she merges meticulous technique with contemporary sensibility, creating a distinctive visual language that bridges past and present. Now based in Grenoble, France, Bezhen produces textured, vibrant paintings in which color, gesture, and composition evoke intimate, contemplative worlds.

LONDON EXCLUSIVE

 

 

FATIMA RONQUILLO | SOLO EXHIBITION

MARCH 2026

 

DCG London is proud to present the highly anticipated solo exhibition by master painter Fatima Ronquillo opening it’s doors in March 2026. Born in San Fernando, Philippines in 1976, and now based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Ronquillo is a self-taught artist whose classically inspired imagery inhabits a space between serenity and enchantment. Her mysterious personages, often set against pastoral landscapes, blend the techniques of European old masters with magical realism rooted in folk and colonial Latin American traditions. Drawing on her deep engagement with 16th- and 17th-century European painting, Ronquillo infuses her compositions with symbolism, poetic narratives, and a lyrical balance of light and shadow. The exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative universe where history, imagination, and the fragile beauty of human and natural worlds converge, evoking both romance and introspection.

 

ROME EXCLUSIVE

 

 

DANIEL B. DIAS | SOLO EXHIBITION

MARCH 2026

 

DCG Rome is proud to present its first collaboration with painter Daniel B. Dias. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1987 and now working internationally, Dias is a self‑taught artist whose neo‑surreal figurative imagery inhabits a space between memory and imagination. His mysterious personages — often suspended between cultures, memories, and dreams — evoke a sense of displacement, spiritual introspection, and universal longing. Drawing on his multicultural background and life across continents (Brazil, the United States, and China), Dias merges classical painterly technique with a contemporary, psychological vision. His canvases explore identity, interpersonal relationships, and the invisible threads that bind people, time, and memory.
