Artist Meet & Greet – Open to the Public
Collectors
of fine art are given the rare opportunity to acquire and meet arguably
one of the most sought after and collected artists of our time. You
will find masterpieces from Asencio around the globe; heads of state,
Saudi sheiks, movie stars, sports icons and corporate giants have all
come to realize the joy of collecting fine works of art created by
Asencio. Comparisons are often made to the great masters before him such
as Willem de Kooning, Lucien Freud, Gustav Klimt and Pablo Picasso.
Asencio’s masterful works of art have indeed plucked at the heart
strings of art collectors. Powerful brush strokes charged with dancing
light and brilliant hues. His masterful use of the brush and pallet
knife, his brilliant juxtaposition of colors, the passionate reds, use
of shadow and light, all create tension and expectation. Asencio brings
to us the glorious human form, sensual, respectfully rendered, a
celebration of the divine creation. As you gaze at his masterful works,
you are transported to a place where the world is as it should be.....
Filled with color, beauty and warmth. This is Asencio’s world, and he
invites you to be part of it! —

Konstantin Dimopoulos - The Shower Room
Konstantin
Dimopoulos - The Shower
Room
Until 8 October 2011 at the Conny Dietzschold
Gallery, Sydney - Australia
‘Transformation’ is the focus of
this new installation by Konstantin Dimopoulos. The black-and-white
Bergman-like images, seemingly crafted from some Nordic or Barbaric lands,
are transplanted effortlessly here in this Antipodean landscape. In
The Shower Room, Dimopoulos creates a series of modular
shower units, five in total. Each stand-alone work is 3 meters in height,
made of black steel, with a shower unit held on five stem pediments. The
dark spider-like legs, long and extended, splay outwards from the centre
of the shower, each leg sitting on castors that allow them to move freely.
Their mobility is a statement in itself, the portability of
ideas.
These industrial fittings originally designed for a
domestic setting are now transformed to some other purpose, some political
convenience. Conceived to cleanse the living, brutal pieces of the
ordinary, that transform the day-to-day bathroom shower to something more
malevolent. Statements of man’s creative imagination. These showers have a
similarity to the showers we know and use. And yet our memory tells us
that we have seen these images before within a different context. They
stand like black triffids in rows, waiting to be activated. Their long
necks curving down, with shards of white lines raining out from their
steel perforated shower heads towards the floor.
In the smaller gallery, we see another installation
The Bed–Sitting Room. To one side of the room sits a
black iron bed. Again the idea of transformation and memory is brought
into play. We have seen this room before but something has changed. The
bed seems strangely altered, stretched and emaciated. On the wall a
drawing of a family portrait from a wedding is slightly off-center,
tilted, so that you want to go up and straighten it. While on a shelf
metronome-like units keep time. The transformation and monotone nature of
these works, the black and white pastiche of colour within the gallery
suggest something more of a collective memory exploring the synapses of a
common consciousness.

The highly successful 3rd edition in 2011 included 84 exhibiting galleries from 20 countries, displaying a diverse range of renowned and emerging artists. With over 100,000 visitors over 4 days and a record number of new collectors (30-40%), the 3rd edition firmly established India Art Fair as the region’s leading platform for modern and contemporary art, and demonstrated the vast potential of the Indian art market.
With one of the world’s fastest growing economies and HNWI (high net-worth individual) populations, and an expanding collector base, India is increasingly becoming an important centre for the global art market. With an annual growth rate of almost 300% and an expanding global participation in its initial years, India Art Fair has been successful in repeatedly bringing art into the focus of mainstream society in India, and contributing to the long term development of the Indian art scene.
This year, the rising interest from foreign galleries in India Art Fair has also been fuelled by the Government of India’s new exemption of import duties on art for exhibition purposes. It is expected that approximately 100 galleries from 30 countries will participate in the 4th edition of the art fair, which will be presented in a dynamic new space in the capital city of New Delhi.
Alongside the art fair, next year’s programme will include the flagship Speakers’ Forum, Video Lounge, Art Projects, the Merchandise and Book Store, and a series of Collateral Events around the city of New Delhi. The Collectors’ Circle is a new initiative launched this year aimed at increasing awareness and access to art amongst young collectors. This will be a year-round membership based initiative that will provide information about art events including talks, conferences, workshops and networking events with top individual and institutional collectors spread across the country, and global art centres including London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai and Colombo.
The 4th edition of India Art Fair will continue under the same management as its previous 3 years, led by Founder and Fair Director Ms. Neha Kirpal, who has steered the growth and development of the art fair since its inception. This year, Ms. Kirpal brings on two new strategic partners as co-owners, Mr. Will Ramsay and Mr. Sandy Angus, who will bring in their global expertise in exhibitions and events. Mr. Ramsay is Founder of Ramsay Fairs, PULSE Art Fairs, and Affordable Art Fairs; he runs art fairs in 8 countries on 4 continents. Mr. Angus is Chairman of Montgomery Worldwide. Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Angus are also co-founders of Art HK, the Hong Kong International Art Fair.
Ms. Kirpal describes the upcoming edition of India Art Fair as “an important milestone for the art fair; which has witnessed exceptional growth and development in a short period of time. The 4th edition brings us closer to our goal of developing a truly world class fair, facilitating international exchange and trade, and contributing to the growth of a vibrant art scene in the Indian sub-continent”.
