In the last fifteen years that Dorothy Circus Gallery has been open, we have showcased many female artists. We have talked about Women, Femininity, and Feminine Art in all its...

A mysterious tale is the one painted by American prime mover of purest pop surrealism, Kathie Olivas, with her new series of unpublished eight canvases named Miss Fortune. Olivas plays hide and seek with the symbology of fortune, conveying signs and secret messages through the folds of bows, ribbons, and laces that distinguish the typical character of the artist, marked by the vintage vibe that has made her work prominent and unique. The iconic protagonists of Kathie Olivas' work, who already in 2007 were recognised as vinyl figures under the brand Kidrobot, came back more mischievous and delightful than ever to bring a message of positivity and good fortune in a pop-surrealism pattern.

The female avatar is the protagonist of Japanese painter Kazuhiro Hori's canvases. Like other great artists exhibiting at DCG, not least Ray Caesar, the artist chooses to depict himself and his experiences through the young girl. The profound meaning of this artistic choice lies once again in the essence of the feminine. This choice intends to rewrite the iconography of the feminine so that it escapes the reductive symbolic key of the muse and simple source of sentimental inspiration. But instead, it is a re-write reality and artistic sensibility that investigates the unconscious, linked to the true nature of the feminine as a profound, brave and authentic search for the inner self. In Hori's 6 acrylic paintings, the element of sweetness recurs, materialised in the numerous shapes of candies and sugars that the artist recalls symbolising childhood. A childhood that changes flavour as it grows up, to the point that it now transmits its stickiness and bitterness.

12 brand new works of Lonely Journey that will be showcased in the solo show of the young Chinese artist Cheng Cheng Yi. This time, however, the constant dualism of this painter's colourful canvases is combined in a succession of diptychs inspired by European culture, focusing on a reinterpretation of the classics of art and literature that influenced the artist's art and youth. Cheng Cheng Yi's new series is the outcome of a creative globalisation that makes us closer despite distance and on which friendship is based, embodied by the cultural and poetic journey undertaken by Yi.

Opening Saturday 14th of May at our premises in Connaught Village, the triple focus show will trace the passage from canvas to sculpture. The show will gather the suggestions and the analogy of these three artists who have in common the spiritual bond between nature and humans and whose artistic production is based between tradition and new technologies. The result is a still image of the evolution of a contemporary code that faith remains in art and the Japanese culture.
