So excited to now be part of @qloud_collective with our exhibition “In Other Words” and beautiful projects coming up! 💫 I am grateful every day for the creative and inspiring people I meet along my way here☀️. In my curatorial journey but also in sports, work, and every aspect of my life. I believe everyone teaches you something. “In Other Words” is about capturing the moment when everything changes. It is a transition, a slippage, and a reinterpretation of a past that no longer exists and a future that is not yet defined. We had the chance to work with talented emerging artists from all around the world ! 1 : Artwork by @christabelpng I am with @danagoh_ founder of Qloud, and Alison Lo @l01okyiu28 , Exhibition assistant with me 🫶🏼 2: artwork on the wall by @christabelpng , on the floor by @dling_y.s 3: artwork by @dling_y.s 4 - 5 :artwork by @angel_rongdan (can you see the pigeon ?👀) 6 - 7 : artwork by @lydialottart 8: artwork by @tutu___________________ (This is analogue photography applied on clay! ) 9: artwork by @khwaish___01_ 10: artwork by @liu_shimeng_ 11: artwork by @divyamraghunath_

It was all worth it. 🎓✨ Graduated with distinction from my Master in Curating and Collections at UAL. This research book brings together my work on the history of the total artwork and its place in contemporary curatorial practices. Through different projects and cultures, I explored what truly distinguishes immersive experiences from total artworks, and how public engagement is shaped today. As a former designer, I wanted to bring together my passions and skills in this project, so I decided not only to write the research, but also to edit and design it as a singular object. This master was a big challenge, and I loved how it made me grow, not only as a curator, but as a person. This is just the beginning 🚀 @unioftheartslondon #master #research #curatorial #totalartwork #contemporaryart

Leaving my comfort zone to move to London and work in the arts as a curator meant trusting the path ahead. It was risky, but I don’t regret a thing ✨ I wanted to work in the arts to bring people together, creating a space where everyone learns from one another. “Identities in Motion”, co-curated with @curating_collections , grew from this common desire: bringing artists, curators, and audiences together to reflect on diaspora, belonging, and how artistic practices shift when home is something you build. So grateful for this path, for the people I’ve met and worked with, the conversations, and for everything still unfolding.✨🌸 Photo 1-3-5 by @utsuroi.shn25 #curator #publicprogram #londonartscene #emerginartist #diaspora

LOU ZHENGGANG — SHIZEN Apr 22 — May 24 at Almine Rech Gallery, London From the moment you walk in, Shizen hits you. A raw explosion of beauty that shakes something deep inside. To be honest, I don’t usually connect this strongly with abstract art without reading about the process or intention. But here, I didn’t feel the need at all. I was fully in it from the start. Some works feel like matter in fusion. Shifting from solid to liquid, dripping, cracking, then becoming solid again. Like the earth melting and reshaping itself. It’s slow, beautiful, slightly destructive… Shizen helps you reconnect with nature and even more deeply, with the very source of our existence. Up close, there’s so much texture, but it still keeps its mystery. No visible brushstrokes or layers, yet everything melts together in this organic, seamless way. And the fact that the paintings aren’t framed? Love that. It adds depth. As if the work was spilling over, extending beyond the surface. It feels alive. It’s definitely a show I’ll remember. @alminerech @louzhenggang_studio #contemporyart #artreview #londongallery #londonexhibition #exhibition ##contemporarypaintings

Touils’ exhibition at Maddox Gallery was a delight on many levels. Have you ever seen an artist’s work in real life for the first time after following them online for a while? It’s a strange feeling, right? Familiar, yet completely different from what you imagined. It’s that moment when expectations and reality collide, a make-or-break. Here, it’s a complete success. The large-scale paintings pull us into their world, the bright colors so much more vivid than any screen could ever capture, and the textures and layers revealing details that need to be seen both up close and from afar. But Touils’ paintings aren’t just about a bright and warm aesthetic. More importantly, it’s a celebration of Arab culture, capturing ordinary moments, frozen in time, that become radiating of joy and peace. A sunlit perspective on the everyday life and values of Middle- Eastern communities. Touils is a contemporary self taught painter inspired by expressionist like Monet or Van Gogh. Born in Morocco, he worked from a very young age to support his family, and moved to Lille, France at 18, where he developed his artistic practice. His paintings resonate with Middle Eastern communities but also offer a reframing on some French and wider European political discourse, where Arab cultures are often wrongly portrayed. Now 29, he recently moved to Dubai, marking a new chapter in his journey. This exhibition feels like a tribute to both his roots and his evolution. Vibrant, personal, and deeply moving.

What’s the value of art when we’re surrounded by endless images? In a world where visuals are free and everywhere, how do they regain significance? These two Condo exhibitions delve into these questions and more, mixing traditional techniques and contemporary concerns . 1/ Moka Lee @ Carlos Ishikawa Gallery x Jason Haam Gallery (Seoul) Hypnotic faces. Cold tones. Intriguing close-ups. Hyperreal still lifes. Moka Lee, a rising Korean painter, recreates social media photos with ancestral oil layering techniques. The result? Hyperreal textures that blur past and present, exposing the fluid nature of online identities. 2/ Erin M. Riley @ Mother’s Tankstation Gallery x P.P.O.W Gallery (New York) Tapestry. An ancient craft reworked for now. Webcam captures, YouTube clips, a highway, panties, and the sting of memory. Erin M. Riley weaves fragmented moments into fabric, turning fading memories into tangible, unshakable narratives. A poetic loop of recall and reckoning. #condolondon #artlondon #artnewyork #artseoul #koreanart #koreanartist #usart #usartist #youngcurator Text and images by Julia Guglielmetti
