Created in 1908 during Amedeo Modigliani’s early years in Montparnasse, Homme à la barbe marks a pivotal moment in the development of his signature style. The elongated nose, almond eyes and elegant brushwork reveal the visual# language that would come to define the artist’s work. A rare and intimate drawing from one of the most revered artists of the 20th century - currently on display in the gallery. #Modigliani #ModernArt #WorksOnPaper

With London bathed in rare spring sunshine, there is no more fitting work to have on our walls than Robert Delaunay’s Arc-en-ciel (1913). A pioneer of Orphism alongside his wife Sonia, Delaunay harnessed colour, light and movement to create works of extraordinary rhythmic energy. Here, a luminous rainbow dominates the composition while the Eiffel Tower rises into the clouds behind it. This gouache carries a distinguished provenance, having been gifted to Misia Sert - patron of the arts, confidante of Coco Chanel, and one of the defining figures of the Parisian Belle Époque. Arc-en-ciel is currently on display in the gallery. #RobertDelaunay #Delaunay #ModernArt #ArcEnCiel #ArtGallery LondonArt BelleEpoque ArtLovers OnNow

A study in grief, distortion, and resilience. La femme qui pleure I (1937) by Pablo Picasso emerges from the same moment of outrage that produced Guernica. Here, Picasso isolates the weeping figure, his muse Dora Maar, and transforms her into a universal symbol of suffering in the face of war. Rendered in fractured lines and sharp contrasts, her silent scream captures both personal anguish and collective trauma. What began as a detail within Guernica became an enduring image in its own right - one that Picasso returned to obsessively in the months following the bombing of Guernica. Printed at Roger Lacourière’s Paris studio, this work belongs to the third state of the etching, one of the few editioned versions now held in major museum collections worldwide. La femme qui pleure I is currently on display in the gallery. #Picasso #LaFemmeQuiPleure #Guernica #Printmaking #ModernArt

REPOST @amocawales : “Ahead of her inclusion in AMOCA’s upcoming group show, Shani Rhys James reflects on identity, emotion, and painting as lived experience. “I chose my Welsh identity by staying in Wales.” 
Born in Melbourne, shaped in London, and rooted in rural Wales, her work carries a tension between belonging and distance—biography and reinvention. Her paintings are never just images. They are charged surfaces—psychological, autobiographical, and deeply felt. Domestic spaces become emotional terrains; figures carry memory, conflict, and presence. “I used to feel absolute rage.” 
That intensity runs through her work, where the female condition is not a concept, but lived reality—inner life, pressure, resilience. Part of AMOCA’s evolving international vision, Rhys James stands not as a regional voice, but as a painter of lasting force. “It’s a lot to do with feeling… the force of life.” Shani Rhys James Nitrile Gloves 2 Part of the permanent collection of AMOCA #amocawales @shanirhysjames #shanirhysjames #wales Photo @dewitannattlloyd

Alexander Calder’s Untitled, 1967, is currently on view on our stand at Tefaf Maastricht. Suspended in the air, the work moves subtly, casting a delicate, shifting shadow that becomes an extension of the sculpture itself. Since the early 1930s Calder’s mobiles have redefined sculpture, introducing movement as an essential element. Rather than a single fixed form, the work constantly evolves - its balance, shapes and shadows creating new compositions with every subtle motion. Visit us at stand 441. #AlexanderCalder #TEFAFMaastricht #CalderMobile #KineticArt #ModernArt ArtFair Sculpture @tefaf

Paul Richards’ portraits, long a central focus of his practice, are charged with psychological intensity. Thick, luminous oils construct and destabilise the image in equal measure, balancing seduction with solitude. While we prepare for Tefaf Maastricht, we invite you to visit the gallery and experience our latest hang. Pictured: Paul Richards, ‘Head of Olivia’, currently on display in the gallery. #PaulRichards #TEFAF #ContemporaryPainting #NewHang

We are pleased to present this radiant work by Sam Francis as part of our selection for @tefaf Maastricht. Hot pink and deep blue pulse against luminous white space - a powerful example of Francis’ mature 1980s language, where gesture, structure, and silence coexist. We will also be exhibiting works by: Frank Auerbach, Gustave Caillebotte, Alexander Calder, Robert Delaunay, Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy, Auguste Herbin, David Hockney, Jacques Lipchitz, Albert Marquet, Amedeo Modigliani, Henry Moore, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro and Odilon Redon. We hope to see you in Maastricht! #TEFAF #TEFAFMaastricht #SamFrancis #AbstractExpressionism
