“Anywhere but Now” examines our own impulses to inhabit another time and place while simultaneously being present for the moments that matter within our daily lives. The title of the exhibition underscores our desire to step beyond the relentless influx of constant digital connection coupled with the persistent belief that fulfillment exists elsewhere and beautifully illustrates through painting our conscious and subconscious desire to transcend beyond peripheral distractions. Chen’s paintings meditate on the power of images to transcend our physical presence, lifting the weight of everyday reality and inviting viewers to lose themselves within the countless particles of paint that construct each scene”. - expert of the exhibition text contributed by @aaronlevigarveyThe exhibition is on view through August 21st. Note our July-August outlets are Monday-Friday 11am-6pm.#RonChen @studioronchen #annazorinagallery by @annazorinagallery

“I’m interested in the relationship between technology and humanity, and the point where the two begin to merge. The figures appear artificial, anonymous and futuristic, but underneath that exterior they’re engaged in recognisably human things. They’re walking, hugging, sitting, or searching, normal everyday actions. The contrast between a cold exterior and human body language interests me because it reflects the world we’re living in. Technology is becoming increasingly present in our lives, but we are still human with emotional experiences. The figures allow me to explore that tension without being overly literal about it.” - Nigel Howlett for @floorrmagazineNIGEL HOWLETTOppositorium, 2025oil on linen65.6 x 70.1 in (166.5 x 178 cm)AZ#3553#NigelHowlett @nigelhowlett #annazorinagallery by @annazorinagallery

“The Contrast Between A Cold Exterior And Human Body Language Interests Me Because It Reflects The World We’re Living In. Technology Is Becoming Increasingly Present In Our Lives, But We Are Still Human With Emotional Experiences.” Nigel Howlett @nigelhowlett-——————————Our featured London-based artist Nigel Howlett presents his solo exhibition “Pursuit of Truth” at Anna Zorina Gallery @annazorinagallery (May 28 - July 2, 2026). A body of work that reflects on uncertainty, belief, and the act of searching in a time shaped by misinformation and shifting realities. Drawing on a background that spans scenic art and film production, Howlett’s paintings depict anonymous, almost mechanical figures navigating ambiguous environments, balancing a tension between technological surfaces and deeply human gestures. In this interview, he discusses the evolution of his visual language, the slow and deliberate processes behind his work, and how his practice continues to explore the relationship between humanity and an increasingly mediated world.——————————-Read the full interview plus many more: Link in our bio——————————-All images courtesy of the artist and gallery-——————————#artistinterview #contemporaryart #artmag #painting #featuredartist by @annazorinagallery

Alongside Nigel Howlett’s oil on linen paintings, his solo exhibition also features a remarkable selection of graphite drawings. In the artist’s own words, graphite is where he has the most fun. These drawings reveal extraordinary details where each mark, texture and subtle tonal shifts showcase a mastery of the medium.#NigelHowlett @nigelhowlett #annazorinagallery by @annazorinagallery

“Pursuit of Truth”, Nigel Howlett’s New York debut solo is on view through July 2nd. The exhibition features the artist’s latest paintings that explore the intersection of humanity and artifice. Howlett’s anonymous figures appear futuristic and synthetic, their metallic or polished surfaces evoking digitally rendered forms, yet their gestures and interactions remain deeply human and emotionally recognizable.#NigelHowlett @nigelhowlett #annazorinagallery by @annazorinagallery
